if the dollar was to become worthless, and we reached some level of an apocalyptic new world, what would items would become valuable currency?
Medicine? Alcohol? Ammunition and/or guns?
Or how about toilet paper and hand sanitizer?

I'm willing to admit full wrong and idiocy if my predictions turn out to be wrong.
If schools and businesses closing at the same time for an undetermined amount of time due to a highly contagious and dangerous virus isn't apocalyptic then what is?

Apocalyptic is when law ceases to exist any longer, our currency becomes worth less than the paper it's printed on and the production of goods ceases. Forever.
This is pretty bad but it's not even close to apocalyptic. Not yet anyway.
Order will break down completely. And one may think that it's broken now because grocery stores have been emptied and there has been some fights at said grocery stores, but believe me, a true apocalypse will be infinitely more ugly than what you're seeing now. There would be wide spread looting and people would be willing to kill you for your ramen noodles and water stash.

This whole situation is mildly entertaining. It hasn't bothered me yet. Maybe its just my inner counter culture but I like the way this is heading...

I don't think any currency would have value in the event of a true apocalypse. Crypto or otherwise.
The value would be in goods & services that could be traded.

Same reason our usd has value.
Neither is backed by anything. At least bitcoin is anti inflationary, finite and mostly decentralized
I am not really a moon boy but I do like crypto currencies though I currently don’t believe bitcoin will serve the purpose it was intended for, a global reserve currency or a safe haven for economic hardship

TP fight in Australia
The lady just wanted one package, gets tag teamed by a mother/daughter duo who assaulted her and successfully defended (smh) their shopping cart stuffed with TP
then there's the viral photo of this guy from Minnesota

I think it's probably better that I don't own a gun even if it was easier for me to get one.

Not within city limits, but in rural TX I would suspect that it's considered a requirement
