Russia is considering shutting down the internet connection to the rest of the globe. What will occur? Is the hash rate decreasing? What will happen if the connection is re-established in a few years?
Not sure about other cryptos, but least in the case of Bitcoin.. You need neither grid power nor internet. Battery backups, solar power, hydro power, distributed nodes across the whole world that can broadcast across satellite  or even radio waves.  There are alternate ways to access it.
