Military equipment does not exempt one from the laws of physics. You can use directional antennas and remote location repeaters, maybe satellite comms, but at the end of the day you are putting electromagnetic energy into the environment that will travel, bounce off objects, and eventually dissipate.
If the internet goes down from a global thermonuclear war, it’s done and over; maybe pockets of small networks would retain intranets, or local networks, but unlikely that Bitcoin is worth anything in that situation because electricity would be extremely rare, let alone computers.
If society as we know it ends from a nuclear war the most valuable currency is going to be food, medicine, and other hard goods that support survival. I’m talking all the basics at your local supermarket that are taken for granted because they arrive without thought by global supply chain.
