Also, the value of gold doesn't go to zero when the electricity stops... if/when that happens the chickens laying eggs in your coop will be worth more than bitcoin.

If “the electricity stops” how do you expect to retrieve your gold?

Or do you keep it in a vault in your house along with two years’ rations in case the world’s electricity stops working?

I don’t mean to be rude, but let’s try to keep the arguments rational. I’m happy to be convinced otherwise about bitcoin’s value. But I need to be convinced.

Those chickens would also be worth a lot more than gold.

Not the best list, but still: https://www.toptenz.net/10-post-apocalyptic-currencies-more-...
