I am facing a real world issue that prevents me from using Bitcoin.
If government shut down internet service even on fixed line connection then there will be complete internet blackout in the country and in that situation we cant use bitcoin.
I think this is also one of limitation of bitcoin that we need internet to use it.
I will be honest- if the government indeed shut down the internet, then my BTCs would be the least of my concerned. Imagine, all communications with other people across the globe would be hindered and prejudiced by such action.
Although this may be the case, this is indeed one of the things that I have mentioned in various threads mentioning about "BTC as a currency." Like what I mentioned before, this benefits only first-world countries given that they have easier internet access and connection at the same time. As compared to third-world countries who suffer from connection, this is a big hindrance and challenge at the same time.
Though there are also some hardware wallets that may transfer BTCs offline, I doubt that everyone has access to it also.
