I am facing a real world issue that prevents me from using Bitcoin.

I live in Pakistan and for last three days cellular internet service all across the country is suspended because of prevailing law and order situation. Internet is working on fixed line connection that is reaching homes. So there is still some connectivity available.

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.

It cannot be denied that in this era, the internet is a big part of our being part of the bitcoin or crypto industry. And we can't really make a transaction here without the internet.

In addition to that, as far as I know, I have read some topics here in the forum that even without internet, it is still possible to make a transaction with bitcoin via sms, it just seems that it has not been implemented yet and how many countries are doing it, I'm not sure if it is implemented in India or Africa.
