Yeah, I didn't see the questioning as "is there really war someplace right now?" but rather "is there really a place where you (or your grandparents) can get bread and milk for bitcoins when normal money collapsed?"

We were specifically talking about BTC as a way to transfer money, as opposed to being used as money itself. I can't think of any place where you'd buy bread with BTC, but there are a few where you might be receiving BTC transfers, cashing them out locally, and using that money. A hawala based on blockchain rather than pure trust, so to speak.

You can buy anything, from anyone, with bitcoin. All it takes is two bitcoin users.

Just because people are starving behind economic blockades and sanctions and mafia hell, doesn't mean they don't RTFM.

(Oh, and you can use BTC on the street, all over the world.)

> You can buy anything, from anyone, with bitcoin. All it takes is two bitcoin users.

Bitcoin users are a tiny, tiny percentage of "anyone".

> You can buy anything, from anyone, with bitcoin. All it takes is two bitcoin users.

Shouldn't we amend that statement to be "You can use bitcoin to buy anything which is being sold by some other bitcoin user?" ;)

Which sure, is potentially anything/anyone, but will obviously vary on circumstances.
