Title: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: olcaytu2005 on March 04, 2015, 08:59:20 PM How can i spend my bitcoin? Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: Prelude on March 04, 2015, 09:02:18 PM As the system is now, everything works through the internet. Debit cards, VISA, etc, all rely on the internet. You'd need to have cash or beaver pelts.

No, bitcoin would have to work on a different type of network if the internet somehow died forever.

No, bitcoin would have to work on a different type of network if the internet somehow died forever. is there any project about that? i am interested about to learn I do think there is already some type of infrastructure in place, but I don't know any specifics. I'm sure someone more informed will post soon enough. Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: MAsterV on March 04, 2015, 09:59:06 PM if the internet was cut off forever. A new technology will come in it's place..
Or we go back to RADIO and ANALOG TV... Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: (oYo) on March 04, 2015, 10:33:21 PM Wouldn't BTC obviously die without internet? There would be no way to keep it decentralized as far as I can see.
Also, no internet would mean going back to overpriced porn mags and DVDs. :-\ Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: olcaytu2005 on March 04, 2015, 10:35:06 PM There are so much interesting idea :)
Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: techgeek on March 04, 2015, 11:37:21 PM The scenario of not having internet is not even possible.
1. Energy companies provide constant monopoly cash flow 2. Internet / Phone Service providers love it as well = always going to be electricity, plus internet. Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: Reynaldo on March 05, 2015, 02:00:15 AM Cryptocurrency cant work without internet because you wont have any way to verify the blockchain or anything bitcoin-related..

Beaver pelts :) Well I would say you need to have cash or gold nearby although it wasn't that long ago really only 20 years since most people lived without the internet in their lives in the West, I guess we would go back to blockbusters and movie theaters go bowling check out the pool more to hangout with people our age/ parks and live more filling productive lives while socializing and reading books and novels in library's and talking with others Whistle :) As for the OP well if the internet was that dead we have bigger issues at hand but the full blockchain would still be kept somewhere on one of many nodes.

Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: FanEagle on March 05, 2015, 07:00:49 PM Hell, no internet? and where I would go to search my porn anyway? I would not surely go spy my sexy neighbor.

Pfft why not just use a drone we only said if there was no internet Although a real tech savvy person would have put a bug onto the PC then turn on the camera lol.

Thought I read about that somewhere on this forum. I'm with a group of people building a decentralized wireless network in Germany that could, in theory, one day act as a backup Internet. -> http://freifunk.net/en/ (http://freifunk.net/en/) Nothing to do with this forum though.Title: Re: What ll we do if internet cut off (forever) :) Post by: zemario on March 05, 2015, 10:36:14 PM The answer to the topic to title's question is: go out and drink. As for where would we spend our bitcoins: nowhere.

Plague has wiped out 85 percent of the male population. Remaining men are kept as sex slaves who's only job is to impregnate beautiful young women. Life's a bitch.
