90% of the island didn't have cell service. Crypto people cannot accept ANY counterparty risk scenarios when it comes to their unicorn. It's annoying how blinded they are in that respect.
You do realise that the banks were also shut right? And that anyone holding stocks would not be able to trade them, right? And that Gold whilst having value, was either locked away in banks, or limited with regard to how divisible it is right? Pointing to a natural disaster as an argument against the validity of a particular asset type is rather non-sensical.
As for being a unicorn, you do realise that just like bitcoins, the USD, is interely dependent on others accepting it as a payment right? Now let me ask you, long term would you prefer to use a currency that devalues, can be tracked, and heavily taxed (aka stolen) and which if you want to use outside or the US you will need to pay an exchange rate commission (more loss of value), or Bitcoin which has non of these issues?
