Consider if you will a future where bitcoin is widely supported across satellite internet services like Elon Musk's starlink. With users having uninterrupted access 24/7 via satellite internet based PCs and smartphones. Natural disasters could knock out local power grids, local internet service could shut down. And HODLers would still have access to their coins and electronic payment through the use of satellites in orbit and sat net phones.
While this scenario may not sound cost effective or "too futuristic" to some. There are satellite capable phones on the market for $500:

BTC nodes to exist.
And what would it take for users to have satellite capable communications to support a hardened orbital blockchain capable of weathering natural disasters and local power outtages?
Well you’re right, but whether satellite or the normal networks, your Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies will still be there on the internet, the best thing the government will do it’s shut down network for sometime, you will only lose access to it for that time until you’re able to get to a place where there is network connection or they (government) releases the network again.
But still having Satellite as internet would be cool, I have as well read of Google’s internet and the one of Facebook, how they are all planning to bring internet for free, although I have also heard that some network companies have kicked against that idea because it’s going to be a spoil for their business.
