Well, Reddit is run by a millionaire that is convinced he will be a post-apocalyptic warlord instead of, in reality, a fuck slave to an actual warlord.

To this day I cannot, for the life of me, understand how all of these rich fuck nuggets think that they will be the one commanding in an actual apocalypse scenario. All they have is money, and the first thing that stops being anything in such a scenario is money...

Which is why they're often obsessed with crypto.

That would still be useless, imo. In an apocalyptic scenario, any kind of monetary currency including crypto would be useless. What good is money (any kind) if almost everyone is dead and you cant buy anything?

At that point, having the biggest weapons to defend your remaining assets would be what's valuable.
