Whats your point? If you are a teenager and your parents gave you their wedding rings as you are off to become a refugee, versus getting given a note with a string of letters and numbers on it, whats more likely to get stolen in a refugee camp?

Like if you think you are dunking on crypto bros and thats what you want to be doing, you should make sure you are actually dunking on them. There is plenty to pick on, plenty of stupidity and criticism to be made fun of around crypto like monkey pictures and the environmental impact, but brah, this ain't it.

Put yourself in this situation. You are in Gaza. Your entire family is getting bombed. You've been putting whatever meager savings you have into crypto for years. You give your kids a note that has the key's they'll need to get into the wallets, and have them pin it inside their jackets, or better yet make them memorize it. Maybe you as a parent die, but your kids make it out. Someday, maybe they get to some where more peaceful, and when they get there, they can access what you were able to put aside for them.

In that way, crypto actually represents an excellent way of dealing with many of the issues one might expect to encounter in a war torn area.
