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.
The nation will not abolish the internet without clear justification. It is widely understood that the internet's presence has become an essential network in all aspects of society. From communication, business, education, e-commerce, entertainment, and more, the internet serves as a vital backbone. If a country were to lose internet access, it would result in the stagnation and suboptimal performance of numerous business sectors. Such a situation would only be detrimental to the country in question.
Except for North Korea. I am perplexed by North Korea's ongoing restriction on its population, denying them the freedom to engage in activities like those living in other countries.
