So what if an EMP hits a major country. Billions in crypto, fiat, stocks, records are wiped from existence.

Then you'll have a lot more to worry about than a few shitcoins.

I can't imagine governments storing everything 100% digitally. I also can't imagine companies and governments to not have several backup servers in locations far, far away from population centers. I know governments appear incompetent, but if it was THIS easy to wipe out central records of an entire country, it would've happened already.

A nuclear bomb detonated 250km over the atmosphere could wipe out all unshielded electronics in North America.

Pretty much this. You're not gonna care much about your digital shitcoins when Jamal is clubbing you over the head with a tire iron for your last can of beans. If an EMP hits a major metropolitan area, you're gonna wish it was as merciful as a nuke.

the blockchain is decentralized, so there are copies all over the world.

As soon as you move outside of the affected area, and use any random device to connect to the internet, you can access your money

I am aware that is a capability, and I guess my original question was answered. Its way more complicated than everyone here is making it out to be.

Pretty much everyone who isn't a pajeet has a faraday cage in their house. It's called a microwave. Bonus points if you plug in the microwave and nuke your nano ledger.

dont listen to this i tried to get my ripple out of cold storage by defrosting my ledger and turns out even though a microwave technically is a faraday cage it will cause problems
