I could have known, no.. SHOULD have known that I would get a lengthy reply from you @goldenarms. I kinda agree with you with the tech part being Bitcoin's achilles heel. But although it is possible it would take some major effort to shut down the entire blockchain due to its decentralized nature. I also don't think that BTC will replace gold but just act like it's digital counterpart. In the end when the zombie apocalypse finally hits, I agree with you...it wil be better to have some silver 'n gold in your possession :).
