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.
Sometimes, I wonder if Democracy exists in your Pakistan, why black out the whole country without internet, that is killing human rights and freedom but what do I know, if the majority support such a motion, I think the minor will suffer for their action, everyone has equal right and equal freedom. This is what Bitcoin stands for, a censorship-resistant but right now, access to the internet is the problem.
Have you heard of Elon Musk Stark Net, with this device, you can use the internet anywhere on earth, you don't have to depend on the internet protocol that is supervised by the government, but I doubt if the government will not be against the use of that kind of device because if you have the money and afford 1, you will be able to use the internet anywhere even if your government shut down their own.
