Using bitcoin without internet

Blockstream Satellite Now Means Most Of The World Can Use Bitcoin Without Internet. What's your opinion on this one? Do you see it as progress or not?

I think that satellite connections also need internet and signals through which we can transfer data but if this is a real way to make it happen that bitcoin will be used with out internet now it is not looking real but any how any thing can happen in the future and technology inventions is increasing day by day so to say that it will be impossible we have seen many things which were impossible but people made it possible and it will be more practical and good if bitcoin become usable with out internet.

It could be really useful for Bitcoin users because we may have a lot of difficulties if we would not have an internet connection and we are using digital currencies with it.

I think it is inaccessible because Bitcoin must have a connection if it is not impossible what my advice is and my words make sense this time and I am 100% correct

Well it's likely that it can be an alternative in the future with  blockchain banking on gps like features. I think it's feasible though the technology needs to be updated a little more i guess.

It is amazing how technology is fast evolving to take us to a bizarre world of virtual money, pioneered by bitcoin. Here is the news: https://bitcoinist.com/blockstream-satellite-bitcoin-no-internet/. The exciting thing that the implementation is starting from January.

I do not understand how you can make transactions of currency that was created on the Internet without the Internet but heard that some groups of people are developing a technology that would make transactions via satellite communication !

I guess that you can really do transaction without internet like when you using hardwallet you can transfer your tokens into another which is also hardware wallet. They must keep on developing so we could have better communication.

Is it possible to earn something with blockstream running node connected to their satellite? Two satellite dishes laying around, any thoughts?

You can send raw transactions by mail, fax and even SMS. So you don't need internet to send BTC

Paper transactions or a chance for mutual agreement to make transactions in bitcoin might be possible because bitcoin is a digital currency and internet plays a major role to make a bitcoin transaction.

I see progress only as far as the Internet is concerned. If the country is almost completely digitized and goes out all the operations of life online it means that it is progressing. Why do we lack the Internet? It in any case will be always and everywhere and its speed and geolocation only increases day by day.

Bitcoin access to blockstream technology only implies that bitcoin and other cryptos are set to be industry leaders in a more sustainable manner.....whether with the internet or not.

As of now, the technology of bitcoin has brought great innovations to our current systems. But, internet connection to other parts of the world would be one of its limitations. Satellites and other ways to improve internet connections would be great. It will only take few years to give worldwide internet connection especially those in remote areas. Technology will find its ways little by little.

Exactly. Satellites are what's needed to help Bitcoin reach mainstream adoption. Even with the extreme popularity of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, people that live in third world countries are unaware of this trend largely because of the lack of internet access. As you've said earlier, technology will find its ways little by little. Which means that each day, technology will improve to a point where anyone could gain access to it one way or the other.

With Blockstream's satellites, people anytime, anywhere, could interact with the Bitcoin blockchain without the need for the Internet. So, in effect, this will become revolutionary up to a point where Fiat currency will become obsolete over time. And once that happens, governments and banks worldwide would rush to launch their own digital currency solutions based on Blockchain technology via Satellites and Internet connection. Imagine the implications this would have on our daily lives within a few years from now. Just my thoughts

Well in our time today we can say that verything is possible through science and for me I think this is such a good thing and a well innovative advancement which may help and bring us different sustainable factors but I wonder how it will be possible for those people that until now were not able to go with the comprehensive advancement that we are acquiring, and I guess that will be the main struggle if this will be implemented especially for those countries who still doesnt have satellite for their own.

First time heard about bitcoin using satellite for transactions without having connected to internet very huge achievement by this people who are working tirelessly for making it realistic it means that in the future people who want to use bitcoin can now send even on a remote places with no internet connections wow this is the power of bitcoin.

[Rashid555]

I think bitcoin with out internet will be a dream which can be seen for a night not more than an hour so we have a many stages of life and we are living in the different areas so Internet is very important for the crypto to run smoothly while Bitcoin is valuable for us.
