How does this EMP look in terms of stability and viability?
I wat an EMP to wipe the market out.... put and end to it all
What is the probability that a Russian nuclear attack knocks out Robinhood servers so I don't have to repay my negative margin balance caused by excessive 75c BBBY calls?
Why do markets commonly behave contrary to EMP, in the context of immediate valuation?

No problem. Another way to look at this is to realize that a lightning bolt is a highly localized EMP blast. Lightning can set fires and damage anything that isn't protected, like a person standing in a field in a rainstorm, but computers don't break just because there was a lightning strike nearby. Airplanes routinely get hit by lightning, but they don't fall out of the sky when that happens.
Cars, trucks and tractors will all work after an EMP blast. The metal body acts as a Faraday cage to route electrons away from the sensitive stuff in the middle. This is why the safest place to be in a lightning storm is inside a car.
An EMP blast won't wipe out all machines in existence. It will set fire to power lines and blow up transformers, but that's because a power line is an antenna hundreds of miles long that's going to gather lots of energy from the blast. Any electronics that are reasonably well shielded will be safe if they aren't plugged in. A computer simply isn't a big enough antenna to gather enough energy to damage it, and the case acts as a Faraday cage to route electrons away from the sensitive stuff in the middle. Electronics that are plugged in they might get their power supplies fried if fuses and circuit breakers fail, but power supplies can be replaced and the data stored on the drives won't be erased. If you think an EMP attack is eminent, just unplug your computer and put it in a metal box, like a washing machine. It will be perfectly safe there. Data centers like the ones investment banks use are prepared for EMP events. Any rooms containing computers will be giant Faraday cages. All data will get backed up to multiple locations, at least one of which will be off-site. When there are billions of dollars stored on hard drives, you can be sure that the owners of those drives have taken multiple steps to protect their data against a sudden blast of electrons. An EMP attack would probably end trading for the day, but it won't cause any money to just evaporate.
Yeah, in a full nuclear exchange with EMP blasts, your portfolio allocation becomes irrelevant, paper assets effectively hit zero. Your real portfolio would be survival essentials, shelf-stable food, water purification, medical supplies, and practical skills. Gold might retain some value for local trading, but only after immediate survival needs are met. Financial markets require functioning infrastructure and societal stability, both gone in that scenario.
Ah yes, Bers rejoice as it is the Bols providing the ultimate signal of market doom: Thinking BTC Sailor Moon knows more than Big Boss Ber Daddy Buffet. Not long now. Per one of my moves, on every climb back to ATH stupidity, going to buy a Put that went down to $0.05 - $0.01 depending on how aggressive the increase was as far out as possible. BTC is a house of nothing and will be forgotten as soon as the first EMP Nuke hits that atmosphere. B Man's house in Omaha will still be there because Nebraska would not be one of the prime targets.
It warrants a dip down to the price before the teaser trailer was released. Fuck them, I hope an EMP wipes their servers.
That'd really suggest some sort of natural source EMP that took down one part of the grid and the rest went through a failure cascade as designed.
There was gold which was deemed to have value by society before electricity and EMP existed. You're mistaking my point, I'm not saying 'cash' isn't digital I'm just saying BTC isn't what people say it is.
Gold would be completely worthless if an EMP were to go off. You can’t eat gold, and with how heavily we rely on technology for our food, the world would starve. All currency is dependent on infrastructure. How much money do you have? How much of that is an actual physical cash versus how much is in a bank account? Use your brain. You already rely on digital currency that can’t be seen, touched, and has no utility value
The only EMP proof infrastructure are the ICBMs.
EMP, and what is with the workers?
Which will never not be regarded. Makes me want to make a homemade EMP.
JPow wrecked kids with his fall camo Ump45 and rpg. Pred missile-> pavelow->nuke Mango noobtubed with an ACR and one man army. Care package -> emergency airdrop -> EMP
If I remember right there was a similar short lived effect after 9/11 due to all the planes being grounded. Less thin cloud cover from contrails (NOT CHEMTRAILS) meant the earth absorbed more heat. Pretty interesting finding and kind of damning. The things we do to contribute to climate change actually slightly hinder it too, or at least slow the measurable effects. Going cold turkey as in a massive EMP event would likely lead to a period of more accelerated climate change. Wild stuff.
Me to GPT: You have 1 chance to solve this our I will deploy and EMP and shut you off
Bro. If 2020 to 2024 didn't send me running to sell. Almost nothing will. Short of nuke/EMP and true SHTF. BLM riots x 10 and collapse of infrastructure.
These guys replying to you think it would be an EMP from a country in an act of war… what about the giant ball of gas in our solar system that farts CMEs at us? Carrington event? Big enough flare and we’re donezo. Probably what happened to the ancient civilizations here, fucks with our magnetic field and creates pole shifts, earf quakes, etc.
If an EMP hits global banking systems go down, internet goes down, payments stop working, everything is computer buddy.
Imagine buying a digital currency and claiming you bought “gold” . But when a EMP hits us where is your “gold”? 
Better than BTC after an EMP
Also, Crypto is worthless of there's a global EMP. It needs nodes. Bold of people to assume the computers will still be up on the other side.
Here is the challenge that we might be forgetting about. Covid should have been a wake up call to have every country to realize that the supply chains and diversification of resources globally, while have a great way to lower costs, there are issues during a crisis. We are one more pandemic or crisis away from a serious "how do I get basic or emergency items to the country?" Almost all ppe is made overseas, including many pharmaceutical medicines. That is an issue. You add the technology issue of all semiconductors, or at least most, are made in an area of the world that is hostile to us... that is also an issue. It is not just a matter of who gets Ai and llm first, but also who controls the equipment for them. If you add the example that every transport for the President is taken back to the bolts and reassembled to verify nothing out of the ordinary is there, but we trust that nothing is embedded in our personal devices we use... that is a hiccup too. Then you think of our energy grids, energy needs, and how decimated they are... one EMP or cyber attack and we are f'ed. We need power for the technology, food, and medical in country, and not have a debt that a country like China or somewhere else can dump almost $1T in US bonds on the market to cause an issue like or worse than the last 6 calendar days. There is a lot to fix, and unfortunately a lot needs to be done ASAP because it is overdue. Hell, I got caught in the cross hairs during this bs... I lost a lot... realized loss, not just paper. But I also know if someone of these things don't get handled at "warp speed", things will be much, much, much worse if the US falls. The world relies on the US for patrolling the seas... we took this over from the Brits after WWII. We are the benchmark currency for trade, and one of the largest purchasers to population... besides other items. If the US doesn't show strength and leadership... everything started after WWII is gone and we become another Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mongolia, Great Britain, etc for the history books. Just some food for thought.
Not when the power goes out due to the China EMP 
Bitcoin is worthless if the internet goes down like in an EMP
>we should not have fully electronic cars Im actually quite pro electronic cars, im just VERY against tesla. Also im 1000% sure there is place for EVs in military, but again not from tesla. >if the entire squadron gets bricked with one EMP Funny thing: im pretty ceratin Elon himself could brick them as he wishes, not to mention EMP atacks or hackers
lol bro based on what you just said Tesla is a borderline national security threat we should not have fully electronic cars signing fucking $400million military contracts if the entire squadron gets bricked with one EMP. Most of our wars are in deserts too where you can’t charge an EV. Fuck the grift lol
Unlikely. The computers that run the market would be destroyed by the EMP effect even if people survived.
EMP's are invisible. I see nothing
Yes lets put our nations assets in crypto so they can be wiped with an EMP attack
Just remember, EMP are bad for Crypto.
There's a good chance that the EMP from nuclear detonations would irrevocably fry almost all electronics, including the contents of whole data centres, immediately and before the diesel generators had even a chance to spin up. Even at long distances from the detonation, far from the effects of the fireball and blast. One of the expected attack scenarios for the beginning of a large-scale nuclear exchange is a high-altitude nuclear detonation that would fry almost all electronics within line of sight of the blast, greatly hampering any response. At the right altitude and with a sufficiently powerful blast, a single detonation could fry most of the electronics in the continental US, or in most of Western Europe.
Abt globally traded commodity will work. Digital commodities if you dont expect an EMP blackout type apocalyptic scenario.
I imagine getting EMP'e be worse for EVs
It's all fun and games until you get blasted by an EMP.
"Following a growing number of reports from a range of Western sources highlighting the game changing impacts of advanced Russian electronic warfare (EW) capabilities in its ongoing effort in Ukraine, EMP Task Force scholar and former U.S. Department of Defence officer David T. Pyne has provided further insight into prevailing evaluations of Russia’s capabilities. "Russia has the most capable electronic warfare systems in the world with the longest range and most powerful GPS and radio frequency jammers of any nation,"
All it takes is one EMP blast to their datacenter

They are testing EMP bombs over the ocean and this plane is near the flight trajectory of EMP fallout remnants
Says we are basically fucked but best chance would be homemade EMP or Molotov cocktail type of shit, or high caliber steel core bullets.
That is actually untrue. There are Bitcoin nodes all over the world, it would take multiple EMP bombs all over the world to crash the network…and in that scenario, everything would be absolutely fucked regardless.
It can go to zero with a burst of EMP. Gold will survive.
The first company that has a customizable, sizable EMP to immediately disable AI or drones will be a 4 trillion dollar company. DDeez nutz nerd
VOO AND QQQ, my brother is a CFO vice president and he’s bad ass when it comes to finance but he’s very conservative and even though he has a lot of money, he puts 3000 and EMP every month. It’s called Vanguard and Admiral shears, but you have to put at least three grand. He doesn’t touch individual stocks and he was the one who gave me the advice for those and they’ve worked out great when I first started two years ago VOO was like $336 now I think it’s like 550.
Everyone who’s into bitcoin seems to think scarcity = value like 1 = 1. But the world doesn’t run off of limited edition star wars memorabilia now does it? Or Corvettes in rare colours. The second cybersecurity becomes an issue with AI, QC, or other - people will not want value stored as untraceable digital fiat for some terrorist entity/Russia to steal in a blink from across the planet. And they’ll go back to good old fashioned vaults of tangible stuff you can feel with your hands. Legendary bubble, but human history isn’t wrong, and wherever there’s immense value, the technology to take it becomes that much more desirable. If bitcoin hits a million, investment into quantum computing methods to crack wallets like nuts will increase in the same proportion. Crypto bros fail to realize this. Minus the whole EMP or localized internet as the world infrastructure crumbles due to war, climate, etc. Digital assets kind of suck when half the world is isolated or offline.
If everything crashed, bitcoin would rise. Ita going to take an EMP to wipe out the electrical grid to crash bitcoin, or if the blockchain gets hacked by willow.
I believe China cannot invade. Invasion of Taiwan would trigger WW3. Which could escalate into a nuclear exchange. In this scenario, US gets messed up, but China gets obliterated. They’ve surely come to this realization. Also, China has drones. Could you adequately shield a drone from EMP? Wouldn’t that add too much weight?
Just wait for a hostile foreign agent to fry their data centers with an EMP.
A lot of people will probably trash on me for this, but I think fixed supply is highly overrated. Reddit NFTs are minted with a fixed supply too, it doesn't mean they are really worth anything or will appreciate in value though. BTC having a fixed supply is an entirely artificial constraint which is a red herring imo. The value of something like BTC comes (ironically?) entirely from trust in the network in the sense of the greater fool theory that some future buyer will be willing to purchase or exchange the BTC at some higher price or for a good (like pizza, USD, etc). All currencies rely on basically nothing more than that same trust principle, but for USD it comes from the backing of the federal government and for BTC it really boils down to nothing more than that trust in the network with someone else coming along to buy it later on. That's it, the limited supply is just a featured used to market the currency, it still has no intrinsic worth by itself. Where people could get around the limited supply is simply by forking it like BCH (which is a bad example but still gives the basic idea) with a better feature or some other reason, that would split mining compute power, the user base, expand overall (not BTC) supply, etc. Also crypto has a fundamental weakness that gold and paper fiat does not, which is if the computer or network system goes down (Carrington event, aliens EMP us, whatever), then you're kinda stuck. Yeah that is unlikely, but people do not talk about it enough imo.
That gold is reserved. Another difference is if the financial system ever goes back to needing to transact in gold, it can be done without electricity. If the computer system is down like from an EMP or something, crypto will not be usable.
I'm still heavily in public and private equity and bond markets but the increasingly real prospect of something like WW3 and its disastrous effects on the global and US economy (e.g. launching an EMP equivalent over a major US city would criple it) chills me since nowhere will then be safe.
So much salt from people that didn’t buy crypto and are bummed it keeps going up. These easily refuted old arguments don’t work anymore, and if you consider yourself knowledgeable about finance, then they are a little embarrassing. Learn about cryptocurrency don’t speak personally I don’t speak on silver and precious metals because it’s not an area I have researched heavily. Bitcoin alone just passed Silver’s market cap. If you don’t understand public – private key, cryptography, and distributed ledger technology, you don’t understand crypto. If you don’t understand, mining, difficulty and proof of work networks versus proof of stake networks, then you really can’t speak on the difference, mining scarcity of precious metals or other assets. If you don’t know about layer twos, and ZK roll ups, or how many transactions per second the lightning network or an Ethereum layer too like arbitrary can do, then you don’t know about its use as a currency. If you haven’t thought about worst case scenarios for all stores of value, and you don’t know about a 51% attack in bitcoin or quantum proofing, digital currency or how a low atmosphere EMP attack could affect mining units and nodes, then you’re not really thinking about worst-case scenario. If you haven’t thought about what traditional stores value or Fiat will be worth in apocalypse scenarios, or how they have fared in their own crises in history like war, then you’re not actually thinking about comparing them to crypto. We know a ton about Fiat currency inherently from growing up in a society using it. We also as investors know a ton about equities and other assets. You may not know much about the commodities, market, or derivatives, but that doesn’t stop them from being worth trillions of dollars. Same with history, if you think of the history of of the US dollar, do you know that hundreds of banks had their own currency that could fluctuate wildly? Do you realize that the US dollar wasn’t particularly standardized until 1863 and 1913 respectively? Do you know about the history of the gold and silver standards? The more you learn about cryptocurrency, you will also learn more about other currencies like the US dollar. And most of us will learn how little we knew and see similarities and differences that result in both pros and cons for each. It’s fine to not know those things, that may lead you to make poor investments, missing cryptocurrency until you are forced to buy it later, but it’s OK—There are a ton of great investments and none of us know about. Because denouncing it basically because you don’t like the feel of it without understanding these basics is silly. Further, I think a lot of this doubt comes, unfortunately, from insidious forces. Governments and government entities that don’t like the immutability and unsensitive of cryptocurrency, which is understandable, if not beneficial, to an individual potentially owning one— but also on the more sinister side, the typical crony oligarchs of the financial world, trying to control the path and narrative. Blackrock using its corrupt tendrils of control to enforce SEC action on early innovators in the crypto space so it could buy time to get into the market, both in terms of ETF offering in custody and buying at lower prices, things like that where these forces know cryptocurrency is inevitable, but have individuals repeating their negative talking points without even knowing their service of these secret goals and actually understanding inevitability of cryptocurrency and bitcoin the whole time. To be clear, I’m not saying there aren’t criticisms of cryptocurrency, I’m just saying that these popular ones that people make without really learning or thinking about them are incorrect .
Pretty 1000s of EMP and other nukes will fuck Earth long before an asteroid finishes the job ...
What is really a silly take is to think about anything electronic working as before if EMP starts detonating, in particular talking about Bitcoin being something people will accept in exchange of valuable (surviving) goods. What view of the world do you see after EMP start blowing if not apocalyptic ??? 😜
If EMP start blowing up here and there, good luck with a internet being still up ... And I am sure BTC will be just worthless. No digital money will hold value. But Physical gold or silver !
If you think an EMP is bad for a bitcoin wallet just wait until you try to access your Schwab account
After that EMP strike, even if there are millions of computers running BTC, it is unlikely you will have any data left at your disposal to access your shiny BTC which would be lost forever probably. Hey, but what do I know?
ARE BLACKWELL AI CHIPS EMP PROOF? 
DO AIRPORTS STAY OPEN DURING NUCLEAR WAR? I WOULD THINK THREAT OF A EMP ATTACK WOULD GROUND ALL AIRPLANES ✈️✈️✈️ 
Wonder what an EMP does to a bitcoin Wallet, but I guess my opinion on this is invalid because I just dont understand.
Question...because shares and options are all electronic and computer held unlike the old days of paper and actual stock certificates if there was an EMP would everything be erased???
You just described every currency that has ever existed... bitcoin has the upper hand on fiat in that its production is not tied to any one individual or government. Trading is not regulated by banks who pretend to hold a bunch of it while actually holding enough to get them through a day. Its security is inherent in its blockchain encryption. You'll never be able to take my bitcoin, and i can put my coins wherever i want, whenever i want and there is no force on planet earth that can stop that (apart from a planet-sized EMP or a super sophisticated quantum computer that MIGHT eventually exist after we're all dead and buried). Don't believe me? Go look at how many times China has "banned" bitcoin with zero long-term effects its value. You keep your usd and euro and whatever else you have and let me know how it's going when those organizations in charge of its distribution inevitably fuck up and the value of those currencies goes to zero. When that happens, I'll lend you a few sats. To anyone paying attention, it's not speculation, it's an inevitability. If you're interested, please educate yourself: [Bitcoin White Paper](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi077vWnduJAxVBMVkFHUV8LnMQFnoECAgQAQ&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw05-4mYD7EyyKjwcHh8i0Vw)
The best would be a mix of different hedges. But bitcoin would be the most resilient. Lets say the entire earth was hit with an EMP. Everything would take years to get back to the way it was. Anything stored digitally and not protected would be wrecked. Bitcoin operates in a way that has copies of its blockchain/ledger in more than 18,000 different places. Some are protected from EMPs, and there is one in space on a satellite! Once the power is turned back on, the miners and nodes just have to reconnect and sync to the network and bitcoin would be back up and running. Bitcoin would absolutely be the first financial system up and running in a scenario like that.
No EMP attack and riots? Really surprising peaceful election.
> EMP bursts will wipe out all computers and cell phones I'm always amazed how little people understand about EMP.
I need to find some good pencil stock to buy. If we go to war with China over Taiwan, nukes are going to fly and the EMP bursts will wipe out all computers and cell phones. All that will be left is the Mark 1 Pencil and paper. I don't know what the kids will do, but us baby boomers will be right at home.
All it is going to take is one air burst nuke at the right height and yeild over Taiwan, producing an EMP burst and none of the chips (or other electronics) are going to work, even if China pulls back. Enough EMP bursts over major cities, which could happen if Russia, North Korea, Iran and other non-US friendly countries get into the dog pack frenzy if the US is busy with China, and nobody is going to have to worry about anything computer related for a very very long time. If the facilities are hardened against EMP (and it's never been tested on a wide scale) they may survive, but us home bodies with our portable, mobile and desktop devices can kiss them good bye, along with power, TV and cell coverage. When you have a large scale conflict like this would be, with enough nuke capable countries involved, somebody is going to let one fly... and if one flies, a bunch more are going to fly. It won't be pretty and the stock market will be the last of anyone's concern because only hard assets will be worth anything. There will be no winners in this if it happens. Hopefully the closest it will come is in a Hollywood movie and John Wick didn't really die. Although, he will probably need a bit of help.
Just 1 EMP and none of it will have value
Yes they are overpriced. However the gig is up, until they start colluding again! EVs are actually cheaper to make than ICE autos. In addition, CATL just cut their battery price in half! Batteries are 40% of cost. China has that $5k BYD Seagul that gets 120 miles in a charge. Probably subsidized, but whatever, charge $10k and it is a great commute car. It is by no means low quality. https://youtu.be/yi7BlJs2t5s?si=bsm9rtkJu5IRaEP2 European and American car manufacturers are shitting their pants now and the prices have been dropping. Also I heard CATL has a new 800km battery as well. ICEs are done. But we need to rebuild our electric infrastructure anyway, underground, EMP protect, so let’s just gear up for an eventuality.
At risk of war? So with the first attack when EMP and old fashion artillery will be combined you will loose everything?
How do I invest in EMP device stock? Seems bullish based on this DD.
and EMP exploded over SPY headquarter
What happens when your electric is out from an EMP? Wipe with your right hand, eat with your left. Welcome to India my friend
Yeah dude let's automate everything so when the time comes we can just be EMP'd into complete oblivion instead of just a minor oblivion.
True shit I did buy a case of 12 hurricane lanterns (red railroad lanterns) and 4 gal of paraffin oil and stuck it in the back of the garage just in case things get EMP stupid. But I do wonder if baby oil would work???
yeah, imagine if they pair facial recognition software with uniform recognition and AI for self-flight they could crank out literally thousands of drones in a swarm. if they can just figure out the battery issue, they could literally have giant swarms like starlings, just patrolling and having a few peel off to destruct against any enemy combatant Jesus, that's scary. I feel like we'll see EMP technology return if that's the case though. we already have some great drone guns iirc
I agree on 650 SPY. But not a 60% drop mfker? 200 SPY would mean someone EMP'd the planet. But yea the general consensus I agree with.
Watch a chain of EMP strikes wipe out all the world's technology the second I go long..
It's much, MUCH, more complex than this oversimplification. China has a lot of stakes in Taiwan, for example in its chip-manufacturers right? Nuking that would be catastrophic for them as well. You know EMP isn't great for any factory, but especially not for semi-conductor. Also, a lot of Chinese civilians live and study and work in Taiwan and vice-versa. It's a very nuanced issue and the posturing China is doing is mostly towards countries like the US. In reality, they don't really mess with Taiwan too much.
Honestly once everyone starts sneaking shaped EMP generators in their infrastructure satellites shits gonna pop off up there
There is SOME merit to it though, however improbable it may seem. The stuff you're trading in a brokerage account is literally just numbers on a screen querying a database in a data center somewhere. There are scenarios like a cyber attack or EMP which could potentially result in a loss of data/accounting records. If your entire net worth is tied up in numbers in a database then you could have your net worth wiped out. Real estate financed by debt may be more optimal in this regard since deed records are recorded locally..
So SBUX’s new circumcised CEO walks in the door, gets a $113 million work-from-home pay package, adds 20+billion to the market cap overnight, and this stock still isn’t pulling back because some Brazilion GHz two-years-from-sentience algorithm somewhere is cum-tributing it with some salty 1’s and 0’s. Hold the nukes Iran we need EMP’s on algo’s now
No that’s an EMP. It’s Electronic Funds Transfer. To ME, those are a good place to put your funds. 😁
All multitouch surfaces will become inoperable in 14 days. Reason is the moon will transoform into Unicron and starts blasting a very narrow EMP band
A whole lot of scenarios could tank NVDA for a long time. There is a good chance that China will flirt with blockading Taiwan after a manufactured controversy regarding some politicians statement in the next 2-5 years. I think Xi Xinping wants an invasion of Taiwan to be his legacy, but I hope his peers will talk him out of tanking China's economy even more. If Blackwell has persistent water-cooling leak issues, that could be a problem for many years. Blackwell yields could be much lower than expected, since joining chips is a new technology. A president could ban GPUs that are more powerful than a threshold out of fear of AI. Policy could be changed to tax cloud providers unless they use green energy, which I would support. Companies could hit the energy bottleneck, so I bought Dominion energy (since the largest server farm concetration is in Northern Virginia) and NEE to get a little bit of a dividend barbel. The Supreme Court could rule that LLMs are liable for copyright infringement and that all the AI companies owe tons of money to everyone else. At some point, the first globally damaging AI virus will hit and new laws will be passed. I think calling peaks and bottoms is a losing game and trying to predict a peak years out is even more of a losing game. But, if I had to guess, I think the peak will come when we see dot-com/last crypt0 bubble levels of hype in a lower interest rate environment. You'll see a ton of startup IPOs/SPACs with no earnings or plans for earnings that investors will lose a lot of money on. You will see ads pumping and shilling two-bit money-losing AI companies on TV while insiders sell the dominant portions of their stakes. NVDA's PE might go substantially north of 100, then LLM ASICs could be produced at scale. Then, my friends and relatives that ignored my advice to buy years ago will ask if now is a good time to make a big investment, and I'll know it's over and it's time to research boring stocks with stable dividends. A massive crash will happen, which will go way too far on the downside. Just randomly guessing, this is not a prediction, July 30th 2026 could be a peak, plus or minus a year. But, AI is here to stay until the next EMP and it will continue to improve. Modern transformers were created in June of 2017, GPT3 came out in November of 2022, commensurate with the start of NVDA's rally, things are still getting better. Cloud is still growing at all of the major providers. The AI spend is on GPUs and it can take 5-10 to get a return out of a GPU or cluster, so it isn't reasonable to expect returns on cloud compute to equal the expense right now.
If anything mentioned in the post happens your best play is stocking up a year of essentials and finding a bunker, closely followed by way OTM SPY puts, so in this fantasy scenario OP is still making the worst possible moves Especially the nukes, if Israel got nuked and the Samson Option got triggered, your Robinhood money wouldn't matter if the servers get EMP'd before you withdraw
One well placed EMP will keep the shorters around lol!
I think it’s there in case they need to bail everybody from the ISS in case of an EMP, but I’m just speculating. **Adjusts tin foil hat**
The only way these companies fall is a planet-wide EMP that takes out the internet
You're right about home battery storage I hope countries refuse planning permission unless housing developers build renewable energy as part of their projects, on roofs or nearby, same with cloud storage they must build their own renewable systems this way there won't be strain on the grid with increased populations or cloud storage In Ireland for example dublin had to reject a housing project in favour of a cloud storage facility. I think putting solar on social housing and government buildings should be done. EMP weapons will be a consideration in the futrue so I think we will see a national energy grid but also diversified with local storage and systems. I think forcing companies and housing projects to build their own renewable energy systems is an easy way to ramp up and transition fully to renewable and meet targets. Saves governments money. Renewable will be so cheap in the future any government spending now may be wasted one day with companies and populations creating their own systems anyway so best to encourage it early on and save spending now.
Absolutely valid concern. Simply put the EMP will wipe out activity in that area for a certain period of time. Also if that happened there would be a bank run and most people wouldn’t be able to get their cash anyway. Bitcoin is a global network, users reaching the majority of continents. As long as 1 node is running the network will still operate. Even if all nodes stop working simultaneously, the moment they are active (powered), the network becomes active. There would need to be an EMP/internet outage event covering all land on Earth for the rest of time to stop the bitcoin network
What if there were massive power outages? Like a big EMP or solar flares with BIG magnetic storms? Climate change could even become a factor. What sort of safeguards are there for crypto currencies, not just Bitcoin but others as well?
That’s literally why I am wearing my titanium boxers to bed. Don’t want the EMP to cook my two satellites.
predictions on solar flares coming up bull case: panic buying causes increase of retail stocks bear case: earth is hit by an EMP and global chaos ensues
4 CME hitting earth Friday/saturday. Best case. Super good Northern lights show. Bad case. Global EMP. Loss of power. End of civilization
And wasn’t susceptible to an EMP.
🦍💎🙌If hedges are getting trimmed, where’s all those pesos gonna land? 📉My bet, oil. 🛢️ It feels like a real profitable time for oil companies given all the instability, and caps on production. 🤷 High demand plus low production equals higher profits.
