Well this is a good thread some one need to develop a technology when the internet goes down that you can still trade bitcoins.
Oh well I am just hoping that doesn't happen I can live without internet.

Internet is a vast network with multiple redundancy points, and while it may get unavailable at some locations at crisis points as op describes, it's
definitely safe to say that rest of the world won't be affected in any major way. imho this thread is either trolling or created by someone who
lacks basic knowledge in technology in general.

cheers

my question is not related to not being able to use bitcoin to buy useless stuff but when cash is devalued and you rather not hold massive amounts of precious metals what good will bitcoin be if you can't access it.

like u said not the whole world will be affected but the parts of the world which probably wont be affected are the ones that do not even have internet anyway

you simply keep holding, like you're doing right now, and use something else, also in the future there may be a way to trasfmit bitcoin off-chain or via al alternative "internet" a mesh network done for this purpose can be great

or a lan/wan network, there can be plenty of ways to avoid this situation
