so what'll happen if/when a giant solar flare hits the earth and fucks up all the electronics/computers and shit?.... the place this virtual 'money' exists.... it just vanishes?... never to be seen again?... banished to the place deleted computer files go?

Nothing is true, everything is permissible.

Our laws make law impossible; our liberties destroy all freedom; our property is organized robbery; our morality an impudent hypocrisy; our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes; our power wielded by cowards and weaklings; and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons.

Assuming there isn't some sort of failsafe system(I imagine there is), then 95% of the money supply would get wiped out.  But so would all debt.

Paper money is a vehicle that brings products and services at your door step.
