Having Bitcoin as a retirement fund won’t be enough. In a great taking event you might have the money, but not the opportunity to spend it for months or even years.
You’ll additionally need at least:
1) your own water well
2) independent power sources (solar + some sort of BESS) and a diesel aggregate for redundancy
3) some comms (radio and/or satellite uplink)
4) own hardware/server and a local LLM
5) a pair of guns and enough ammo to last you a while
6) an FPV drone
7) a way to produce some food (garden, chicken) or hunt for it (easy access to a river/forest/mountain/large open fields)
If you live in apartment building you’re probably cooked.
If you have Bitcoin but none of the above, you’ll probably NGMI.
Better start collecting checks on the list. Utilise your Bitcoin instead waiting for the NGU.

Forgot to mention a reliable means for transportation for short/medium distances. Teslas ain’t one.
Your prep list is solid for extreme scenarios, but over-indexing on physical collapse risks missing financial-system threats. That "Bitcoin ETF Flows" piece highlights how institutional adoption could drive multi-year liquidity crunches—having BTC won’t help if exchanges gate withdrawals during volatility. Prep for both.

15 minute cities incoming?
what's the FPV drone for in this scenario?
What usefulness do you expect from the LLM in this scenario?

Scouting, deliveries to friends, identifying threats, even attacking. A friend of mine has made a a very simple 3D printed payload delivery system for his drone. Provided that you have explosives, you can do substantial damage from high altitude.
Or just communism.
will it still have a central bank?
Always
