Blockstream Satellite Now Means Most Of The World Can Use Bitcoin Without Internet. What's your opinion on this one? Do you see it as progress or not? Huh

I think it is great progress. People will be able, in the near future, to use and make transactions with Bitcoin also in those countries and in those areas around the globe where there is a lack of internet connection or it is unstable.

On the downside, how'd one know the honest nodes are taken over by the attackers if there is no internet to verify the chain? I highly doubt the idea of it. The closest thing is signing a transaction offline then broadcasting it using a service which is connected to the internet. There should be a medium to establish a connection between offline transactions and pushing them into the chain.
