If we learned anything from 2020, it is that things can change for the worst in the blink of an eye. Many bitcoiners have just this in mind as they work towards self-sovereignty. Join us for a two part blog series on how Bitrefill can help you stay prepared.
In times of uncertainty, it is best to have a contingency plan
There is a huge overlap between people who are into Bitcoin and those who believe in self-sovereignty. Many of us initially were drawn to Bitcoin because of recognising the weaknesses in the fiat-based legacy financial system, and the tremendous power a few people keep concentrating by having the State hijacked with the help of the discretionary money printer.
Many of these very same people now recognise that our world has undergone fundamental change, and there is now looming uncertainty for the future. The pandemic has had a huge impact on all sectors of daily life. Things like the economy, employment, geopolitics, the shutdowns, and the cost in human life have made many decide to create a “Plan B”.
This is where Bitrefill shines. Using Bitcoin to purchase survival and preparedness items is more private than using a credit/debit card, which could make all the difference in the world, in a crisis. Keep reading to join the parallel economy full cycle.
How to secure food, water, and essentials with Bitcoin
Since Bitrefill respects user privacy, and doesn’t require anything more than an email to get you going, it is one of the best ways to acquire survival supplies like non-perishable food, a water filtration system, and other essentials for hunkering down for a while or even bugging out, if need be.
Note: these are USA card examples, if you are elsewhere, check what we have for you in the proper categories here.
Food
We have a number of extremely useful and important gift cards which can be used to stock up on food. We have a wide range of the most popular grocery stores. You can stock up on canned food for the pantry, dry goods for long term storage like meat, legumes, grains, pasta, etc. Take a look at our grocery options:
Water & Survival Supplies
Having a way to access clean water or having the right supplies during a disaster, could be the difference on whether you make it through or not. Thankfully, Bitrefill has the two most useful gift cards for those looking to purchase a water filtration system, or almost any other specialized equipment you’ll need for survival, camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, first-aid, or storing and preserving food. If you can’t get it at either of these places, it probably doesn’t exist.
Homesteading and Gardening
We also have a number of highly versatile gift cards for getting soil, seeds, fertilizer, and any tools, hardware, or materials needed for maintaining and improving your self-sufficient off-grid citadel. You’ll never have to stand in a food rations line, if you grow your own food.
First Aid, Communications, & Auto Maintenance
In an emergency situation, it is wise to have a good first aid kit, so you can provide medical assistance to anyone who may require it. We also have some great options for auto maintenance, so your vehicle works when you need it most. Communications are also paramount, so make sure you have a good radio, or other means of communication to stay updated with news and current events, or have the ability to call for help.
Pet Supplies
Since our furry friends are part of the family, it is important to make preparations for them, as well. Bitrefill has some good choices to make sure you have everything needed for your pet, when it matters most.
Better Safe, Than Sorry
Even though the last year was a wild roller coaster ride, it was also a sobering alarm bell for many to get their affairs in order. It was quite a shock to have the illusions of safety and security peeled back a couple layers, and this was just the jump start many people needed to start thinking about being prepared.
With Bitrefill, you can get almost anything you need to achieve self-sovereignty and to become self-sufficient, so you can pull through any situation. It is much better to have a supply of fresh water, food, & supplies, and never need them, than to need them desperately and kick yourself for not having the foresight to make sure you were prepared.
