I honestly think Bitcoin isn't decentralized enough considering that government still controls the Internet and can easily censor or shut them down (is this even possible?) anytime.
The move by government to make us go cashless by gradually phasing out cash is even more worrisome, could make them have absolute control over us.
We need some sort of decentralized "physical Bitcoin" that doesn't depend on the Internet and can be exchanged for online Bitcoin. It is too risky not to have offline alternatives to Bitcoin to act as backup plan for online Bitcoin in case something big goes wrong.

Pls I need to know something, Is it possible to exchange Bitcoin with other people without being connected to the Internet?
Let say the government bans the Internet and you have your Bitcoin offline(in cold storage right?), can you exchange the Bitcoin to the next person by simply transferring some Bitcoin from cold storage to his/her computer, phone or even data storage devices(like SD Card, USB, Hard drive etc)?
If this is possible then no need for the "Physical Bitcoin"

If government will shutdown the internet bitcoin will also shutdown because in able to use bitcoin we are to be needing an internet connection so if internet is not available bitcoin will alao not be available.

That is impossible because the internet now is a way of connecting and communicating people around the world so in my opinion Is government shutdown the internet many people are going to complain about it and many companies too so I think that is impossible because the internet now are very important to each individual.

It will not happen. Most of this era, internet is the main source of income of every people and especially the government. If this happen we will back like the past years, no communication, not updated in our society, nothing more.

Most of the business is using an internet and businessman don't want to backrupt or find another business without internet related. And it is hard to do, small income, hard job I think and low ideas.
