Neither gold, or bitcoin will have any value in the aftermath of a nuclear war.
The ONLY precious metal will be Lead.
...and besides, most of the USA's gold is in basement vaults in the banks in New York City, in case international transactions need to be made between governments, in gold.
Whether it is radioactive or not, the gold in Fort Knox is only a symbol, which with the USA now 22 TRILLION dollars in debt, printing money with no backing whatsoever, it far exceeds the entire gold reserves of the entire Planet Earth, several times over.

If you want to read a series of books just as good as "Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy", read the first book of a great series "Callahan's Cross Time Saloon" by Spider Robinson.

Negative. They will protect those that are for them, but those who are outside the realm of protection will be the ones to face the music, in the worse way.

Not very likely, as hardening their equipment is a very serious and expensive design problem costing on a large scale, a great deal of money.
and by the way .... if you have not hardened YOUR equipment, what you have is a desktop boat anchor.
You can harden everything with large cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, 10 gauge wire, and a 5 foot copper grounding rod. Even then, it only works if the computer is unplugged with no connected wires wires of any kind outside the box.
 
 

No, they are using the pressurized water to try and push the oil back to the surface fire, so it doesn't spread out.
One thing to consider is that even if all the oil "got away" it would be like dropping ONE DROP of oil in a bathtub full of water, then dipping a sewing needle in the water, and what sticks to the needle is the REAL environmental impact.
Remember, at one time the entire Earth was covered with volcanoes, and extremely high pressure gas vents of methane and other poisons, at the same time Mars had an oxygen atmosphere, and oceans.
All things change.
 

Criticizing JP Morgan as “master manipulators,” analyst Lark Davis shared his opinion on this projection by stating,

The fed is printing so much because in a sense they're fighting deflation. Over time were getting less and less economic growth from each new dollar created. This means we have to print more and more to prop the economy up. But the economy needs propping up because of a deflationary environment which is highly problematic in a debt based economy. The problem is they have to keep printing to keep their debt system alive but at some point there's too many dollars and we get hyperinflation. The dollar as the world reserve currency is why confidence in the dollar remains and the fed can keep printing.

If the Fed hadn’t printed all the new money, we would already be in another Great Depression. Inflation and deflation seems to move slowly but just because glaciers move slowly doesn’t mean there isn’t incomprehensible force and power.

In another 10 years you will still feel that Bitcoin is in its early days.

This is Bitcoin shrugging off China's recent ban....

Does this affect users?
Blocks may take an extra minute to be mined, temporarily.
Other than that, Bitcoin is completely unaffected.

I think time to time we need to remember this.
Satoshi didn't try to convince people how awesome Bitcoin is or would be. We don't neither. BTC will prevail no matter what. This is what makes it great.

The Boeing 777X is a new series of the long-range wide-body twin-engine Boeing 777 family that is under development by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777X is to feature GE9X new engines, new composite wings with folding wingtips, greater seating in the cabin, and technologies from the Boeing 787. The 777X series was launched in November 2013 with two variants: the 777-8 and the 777-9. The 777-8 has seating for 365 and range of 8,690 nmi (16,090 km) and the 777-9 has seating for 414 and range of over 7,525 nmi (13,940 km). The -9 is to fly in the first quarter of 2019 with deliveries to begin in December 2019.
The internal cabin width is increased from the previous 777 models' 231 to 235 in (587 to 597 cm) through thinner interior cabin walls and better insulation to allow 18.0 in (46 cm) wide seats in 10-abreast economy. The 777X will feature cabin design details requiring structural changes that were originally introduced on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner: larger windows, higher ceilings, more humidity and lowered cabin altitude to 6,000 ft (1,800 m). Its flight deck is similar to the 787 cockpit with large displays and head-up displays, plus touchscreens replacing cursor control devices and folding wingtips controls.
For the 400+ seats 777-9, new engines should improve fuel consumption by 10%, with the longer, carbon-fiber wings adding a projected 7% improvement. As 4 to 5% of fuel savings is lost from the 12 tons heavier basic structure of the larger airliner, the net fuel efficiency gain is projected to be 12 to 13%. Ten-abreast seating instead of nine with a longer fuselage enable a fuel burn per seat reduction of 20% compared to the 365 seat 777-300ER. The longer-range 355 seats 777-8 should have a 13% improvement in fuel consumption with 10 fewer seats than the 300ER.
To stay within the size category of the current 777 with a less than 213 ft (65 m) wingspan, it will feature 11 feet (3.5 m) folding wingtips supplied by Liebherr Aerospace. The mechanism was demonstrated for Aviation Week at the Boeing Everett Factory in October 2016: the folding movement should be complete in 20 seconds and be locked in place at the end. Specific alerts and procedures are needed to handle a malfunction.
Its maximum takeoff weight is targeted for 775,000 lb (351.5 t) like the 777-300ER but Boeing hopes to have at least a 10,000 lb (4.5 t) margin at introduction. Boeing claims the -8 will be 4% more fuel efficient and cost effective than the A350-1000, while the -9 would be 12% more fuel efficient and 11% more cost effective.[45] Lufthansa, when it ordered both, stated the A350-900 and the Boeing 777-9X will consume an average of 2.9 L/100 km per passenger.
As existing regulations do not cover the folding wingtips, the FAA will issue special conditions, including proving their load-carrying limits, demonstrating their handling qualities in a crosswind when raised, alerting the crew when they are not correctly positioned while the mechanism and controls will be further inspected. Those ten special conditions were to be published on May 18, 2018, covering worst-case scenarios.
