Everyone used to think nothing could come along thats Bigger than the Internet

[Erkallys]

Without internet no Bitcoin that sounds not like it could be bigger then the internet.

Theoretically bitcoin can survive without internet.

I'd be happy to know how. Maybe you meant it can be in pause-mode, but don't be destroyed ? Because if there is no internet there is no transactions, and thus Bitcoin is dead. Not "really" dead, but in a kind of hibernation. Maybe that's what you wanted to say ?

If you are trying to say that when one has BTC in his wallet, then you are right at one point...
But when it comes to moving Bitcoins and network, then Bitcoins are completely dependent on the Internet, and mark my words, Bitcoins are dependent on the internet and Internet ain't dependent on Bitcoins...

Bitcoin is a cherry on top of Internets's cake

[Guido]

It's almost never I meet anyone who has even heard of bitcoin, let alone has any idea what it is or capable of (offline)
I have also never seen anywhere that accepts bitcoin, in UK
and UK is not some backwater

there are of course some places that accept in London, physical places, but not many

the potential of Bitcoin and growth and blockchain uses is phenomenal, but all things considered it further strengthens my belief we are still virtually at the start, and considering how huge the price is, ok a third of previous ath, but potential rise in value, one small part of things, but is quite enormous

People used to think many things wrong, maybe we're thinking the same thing now saying that bitcoin is going to be larger thing than bitcoin,
but it's not only bitcoin that matters. There's btc's blockchain, that can also be used for many services. One day service on top of bitcoin could
be greater than bitcoin itself, but it wouldn't cancel out bitcoin value, infact it would furthermore increase it.

Hopefully it evolves the same way the Internet evolved, it starts to become massively adopted, maybe not by common people but in companies and stores, banks, credit cards, etc. For me the niche was always fast and small digital transactions to avoid entering credit card numbers or register in different sites, you just recharge that with fiat for apps, games, digital goods, whatever you like and off you go.

However most people don't seem to mind having to enter credit card numbers or give personal details and register on every site on the planet just to make a purchase.

and then came Bitcoin

Well I hope bitcoin one day makes us as rich as early dotcom millionaires. I'm very bullish but as a mid 2014 adopter I need bitcoin to become a lot more mainstream to do me any huge things.

Nothing is bigger than the internet in my opinion. Without internet bitcoin wouldn't exist, without internet bitcoin would have no use.
You're still going to need internet to access your bitcoin and to make transactions and such. So no, in this case bitcoin is not bigger than the internet.
