A regular drill may not do the job) then run lag bolts all the way through the safe from the inside through the sheetrock and all the way into the 2x4's in the wall. On the inside use a large plate as a washer. The only way to get the safe out is to cut the 2x4's. You can only unscrew it if the safe is open. You can also use specially keyed bolts and mount the safe to a concrete foundation.
Bitcoins? What happens when the internet goes down? When SHTF, 1st thing to be cut, is lines of communication; so bitcoins would be useless. Besides, cash isn't meant to be stored, it's meant to be spent/invested. What i would do is spend my cash investing in SHTF needs:
