      Problem is unless the cyberattack was against you specifically or the power outage only affected your street, your cash won’t be good for much. I’ve had situations where a shop refused to take my cash for a transaction because the same issue that took out their card payment system also took out their receipts tracking, and jotting down transactions on paper by hand was apparently against policy.

      Well…I know inflation is a thing, but 600.- is not a „small“ stash of cash…..

      Where is the advice for businesses to train staff in using a paper ledger and lockbox? Almost every even cash only business shuts down in any power outage I’ve seen because they are all reliant on tills working.

      Learned this lesson in the big storm at the start of the year, local towns were a week + without internet running solely on generators, none of the card readers worked, luckily we had taken out some cash for tolls and the like, we’d normally never have any

      It would be difficult for me to find a shop that can sell things without having a working point of sale machine, in fact any kind of business with multiple locations would be locking the doors without security cameras active.

      Digital currency and dependence on related platforms are going to make us incredibly vulnerable.

      Also use signal, buy a satellite phone, a years worth of food, seed bank, 20kva diesel generator, few ton of turf and yellow drums of gas. Be grand!

      Of course if the aliens destroy all the shops, it won’t be useful at all.

      Head over to /r/Spain and enquire about their recent experience with losing all power across most of the peninsular Spain in April.
