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

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

I'm not sure how you can even compare both , it's like comparing Bitcoin to Facebook or something like that .
If we have to compare Bitcoin then we have to compare it with Payment methods or fiat for example and not with the internet , beside .. without an internet connection Bitcoin wouldn't even exist so .. I just don't get it .

the biggest super computing network is Bitcoin

its only just started, it is absolutely gigantic

nothing can stop this phenonemal growth

it is a monster

Bitcoinpro you are very optimistic,  to say the least. Go tell it to your brother in Africa who can't even have a decent internet connection.

Theoretically bitcoin can survive without internet.

[Denker]

Well without Internet no Bitcoin! So I wouldn't say that Bitcoin is bigger than Internet.But it is definitely bigger than email!!
Bitcoin is maybe the last missing piece of the internet.Now we are able to send monetary value around the globe instantly at any time we want without a third party.This is really huge and ground-breaking.
However there is still a lot of work to do and we never ever should underestimate the big opponents who want to keep their influence and power. R3 Blockchain consortium and Co. could become a serious threat within the next years!Just because the internet in the 90s was the clear winner doesn't mean it will happen again automaticly.These guys aren't dumb!!They are dangerous!

bitcoin is still not a bigger thing than the internet though it most definitely has the potential to grow a lot and to attract more people to its community i believe it means that possibly it will be much bigger than the internet

[Amph]

what worry me is that a new "satoshi" could potentially change the world again by releasing another groundbreaking technology, that can outclass everything

well it's the evolution after all

[megatron1337]

Nothing can touch Internet!

[Blind Legs Parker]

Like the others said, bitcoin is never bigger than the internet, because it depends on it. The internet is still bigger. Bitcoin (actually I think you mean the blockchain, though) is merely a stone in the pyramid that is internet. It may be compared to the email though. And yes, It's at least as big as the email.

How bitcoin survive if there is no internet ? 

All bitcoin transactions conducted by Internet, so bitcoin might not survive if the internet did not exist.

I think he is talking about sending bitcoin transaction via radio wave like out there some project and test are going on to do so. But we have to accept that without internet the origin of bitcoin wouldn't be possible.

Not neccesarily. A direct comparison cannot be made, but you can still compare the level on which it revolutionizes the world.

It is the same as how the car or airplane changed the world in how much closer everything has become.

It is what Bitcoins were made for, evolution and revolution in the terms of new-era technology...
To redevelop, redesign and redecorate the monetary system in such a way that one can independently spend his/her money without anyone's interference...

LOL until you have to sign in to a Bitcoin wallet to access the internet, I will say Internet 1, Bitcoin 0.

That gave me a chuckle, your right but.  still i see where your going with this one, the bitcoin network can theoretically survive of the internet, but it would be pretty much unusable and once it connected again there would be some big losers as certain versions of the blockchain would disappear over night depending on who found the first block. (their version becomes thee version)

If someone else or the same 'satoshi' will create something better than bitcon than it is not more necessary use btc, because it will be really obsolete (or am I wrong?).

You are right, but Bitcoin is a developing technology, whereas Internet is developed, and being used as a mediate source of transporting data and information from one place to another in a matter of seconds, Bitcoins does the same but it works like torrents, so Bitcoins can't actually be compared with Internet...

[richardsNY]

At this point nothing is bigger than the internet. Even Bitcoin isn't and probably never will be. Internet is the main thing to get Bitcoin to work. Without it Bitcoin is nothing.

[knightkon]

I am sorry but Bitcoin is not larger than the internet.  Bitcoin is large, however if you go to a mall or store randomly, you will get 7 -8 out of 10 people who will ask you what Bitcoin is and what they do with it.  I think I would be safe in saying that anyone under the age of 60 knows what the internet is.  Nice thought process, but a mute point.
