Is it as liquid as cash in hand, no.<p>Is it more liquid than the stocks I own, yes, and those are the most liquid of my investments (vs bonds, 401k etc).<p>I live in CA so I have a rather large chunk of cash on hand. It isn&#x27;t outrageous amount, but I could make it for two weeks if there was an earthquake or natural disaster. I don&#x27;t think the bitcoin would do me any good if that happened.
