After the recent outages in Spain etc, which brought commerce to a standstill, I hear the EU has been crowing that if we had the CBDC this wouldn't be a problem, as it will work without electricity.
I have long wondered whether Bitcoin will likewise function without electricity - peer-to-peer by phone etc? And how about Blockstream satellite? My technical knowledge is limited on this subject.


uhh how in the world would CBDC's work without power?? lol

It's a digital currency. If you walk into a store and there's no power the store won't have any way to take any sort of digital payment.
