Are bitcoiner really have the decentralized system, which can't be controlled? Because at the end of the day, I'm seeing that we are hostage to the government. It appears that all control is in the hands of the government i.e. to the ruler party.
Now I want to know if there is ever such a situation in your country then what should be the pre-preparation? Let's discuss-
We live in a centralized world and the government is the one who manages everything, you should not expect that there will be some technology or power that can help us completely escape government control. The advent of bitcoin has given us increased privacy and it has been a huge success, but don't think it can help us escape government surveillance completely, it never will happen. I have read a lot of news about the situation in your country and this is the first time I have seen the government impose a large-scale Internet shutdown at the national level. Because this would cause serious damage to the national economy, it is incomprehensible for your government to make such a decision. Lastly, since you said there is no internet, how are you able to connect to the forum?
If you follow the news about what's happening in OP's country, you'll see that it happened a few days ago and things are slowly calming down. So it's understandable that OP can use the internet again, but as far as I know, things are still not completely stable.

Now I come to the real point, most of us who are here have investment in cryptocurrency or bitcoin or selling services which is very related to bitcoin.
What will Bitcoiners do with their transactions/trades in this situation? Can a Satelite Internet connection can be only the way ?

A satellite internet connection would be the best way to access the Bitcoin blockchain in oppressive countries like China and Russia. Starlink provides satellite internet service, albeit at a high cost. There's a more affordable solution called the "Blockstream satellite" which only transmits your BTC transaction to a network of nodes connected to the Internet (it doesn't give you access to the Internet itself, though). You can always use BTC offline via the use of cold storage wallets (eg: paper wallets) or physical bearer assets like the OpenDime or Tangem. You'd just hand in the physical item loaded with BTC to pay for goods and/or services. Just like how you would hand in paper money to someone else. These kinds of transactions are completely off-chain. They won't be recorded on the Blockchain unless the sender broadcasts them online (making such transactions final). Governments will try to prevent people from buying/selling Bitcoin, but that won't stop anyone from trading in-person (Face to Face) or P2P. It's all thanks to Bitcoin's decentralized and censorship-resistant design. Otherwise, we would've been doomed by now. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

If you guys don't know then let me say currently in my region Bangladesh the situation is unrest with the Quota Protest. And this protest became massive only because of internet and social media. And for this, our Dictators shut down the Internet Connection of the entire country for 5 days to turn the situation towards them. To say that these five days our Bangladeshi people were completely isolated from the Internet or the world. You can visit this thread to know more details - Attacks on quota movement studentsNow I come to the real point, most of us who are here have investment in cryptocurrency or bitcoin or selling services which is very related to bitcoin.

Now I want to know if there is ever such a situation in your country then what should be the pre-preparation? Let's discuss- . So there is actually a way called Kryptoradio where it turns the bitcoin transactions into radio waves somehow bypassing the internet. So technically as long as there is a way to broadcast that signal and in a crazy event like having the internet beilng down I think that miners would be forced to use this type of method, or another type of roundabout method like this to keep the blockchain running. If the internet went down tho I definitely feel like we would have to be in a really bad spot, peopel would freak out lol https://d-central.tech/bitcoin-beyond-boundaries-transmitting-through-radio-waves/#:~:text=Kryptoradio%20is%20a%20technology%20that,bypassing%20traditional%20internet%2Dbased%20methods.

Um that's called a packet radio modem: it takes a data connection and modulates a radio transmitter to send out the information. It has been around since at least the early 1960's when the data was mainly a teletype communication.... Thing is it only bypasses the LOCAL internet that is not working. There still needs to be a receiver somewhere in range (which can be several thousand miles) with a similar modem that IS connected to the global internet because pure and simple, using Bitcoin does require a connection to the global nodes. You cannot have a stand-alone localized Bitcoin network. Closest thing to that is something like a (local) LN channel to aggregate local stuff which then only periodically needs connection to the BTC mainnet to put the TX's onchain.

This must be really challenging op, but i havent experienced this in my country niether have i heard it anywhere. But in situations like this, you can still get access to the internet through satelite or VPN to keep yourself updated or follow up your investment.

I will only worry if the Internet is disconnected everywhere. In all other cases, disconnecting the Internet should not be a problem, and as a rule, if this happens, it is always temporary. Although I remember cases of disconnecting the Internet in a country neighboring mine, this was extremely, as the government justified it, a necessary measure to prevent terrorism. However, the world has become so accustomed to the fact that the Internet always exists everywhere that depriving it for a few days is equivalent to stopping life itself ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . But in very extreme cases, this inconvenience can be endured.

The Silicon Valley TV show convinced me that it's a big problem that the Internet is essentially centralized, and so are major platforms that people are using and relying on. It's very unfortunate that certain countries are able to oppress their own populations by heavily restricting or even shutting down the Internet there. I hope that eventually we will transition to a different, more decentralized system that will make such actions impossible. No Internet access is a huge issue. I would not be able to do most of my work and a huge chunk of communications without the Internet. And I would not be able to figure out how to access my BTC or transfer funds that I have in digital banking systems. Bitcoin would be on pause for me in that case, alongside most of my life.

If there were no pending transaction before this shutdown occurred then no problem, they will have to wait till the plaque is over. But If the Transaction is a selling Oder which has been placed in any of the exchange before this issue occurred, before that 5days intervals, it will surely have been sold to USDT. Then if it where to be P2P trade you imitated which fund has been sent to you and you haven't released asset before the shutdown, surely your client will file an appeal and the fund will be removed from you account by the exchange and paid to your client then when the shutdown is over then you can write a message to exchange explaining what led to the delay. The. For the satellite internet, am not awear about it. Now I want to know if there is ever such a situation in your country then what should be the pre-preparation? Let's discuss-
That is very wired. We have not had this kind of experience in our country before, though we usually have internet issues sometimes but not a total blackout. It usually happens often but may be a geographical region internet shutdown but not the entire country. I believe the government reason to why they did so is because of the quota protest which leads to that, but as the case may be it will not only affect bitcoiners but will also affect government officials, because most of their activities which involve internet access will be affected. If I found myself in this situation I will have nothing to do because it's a national internet problem

Currently, no transaction in the BTC-network is possible without the Internet. If the Internet is disconnected or isolated (for example, in a certain region), neither accepting payments in bitcoin, nor P2P transactions will be possible. Therefore, the BTC-community should probably think about alternative ways to confirm BTC-transactions. With universal access to the Internet, the Internet network may be segmented \ isolated, or completely disconnected for an indefinite period of time, and in this case, btc becomes useless. I believe that for the complete independence of bitcoin (without this, what financial freedom can there be), bitcoin should have alternative ways to confirm transactions. Satellite Internet connection is not a solution, because in some countries it is prohibited (for the purposes of Internet censorship) and you cannot completely rely on it. I see a solution only if the Internet becomes completely independent from governments and other parties (which is practically impossible now), or the BTC-community develops additional ways to confirm transactions. Are bitcoiner really have the decentralized system, which can't be controlled? Because at the end of the day, I'm seeing that we are hostage to the government. It appears that all control is in the hands of the government i.e. to the ruler party.
Decentralization becomes meaningless if there is no internet (government control of internet access). Now I want to know if there is ever such a situation in your country then what should be the pre-preparation? Let's discuss-
In such a situation, the best preliminary preparation can only be moving to another country with a stable Internet connection.

This kind of topic about Bitcoin being able to survive if there is no internet connection or if Bitcoiners can cope if there is no internet connection was raised last week. If such happens, it will definitely affect the Bitcoiners in that country, and the only solution to that problem is to patiently wait until the government finally restores the internet connection, or you can flee to another country that has an internet connection.
We have not experienced such things in my country; even the government needs internet connection too, and because they do need it too, they cannot completely kill all the internet switches in their country.They themselves will have it allowed in their residential places. For example, when I was a kid, there's this politician in the village. Any time he visits home, there will not be a network or internet connection. According to the internet providers in my place, the politician usually tells them to turn off the internet so that people will not have a network to make calls and inform others that he is in the village.
That's to say, the government also needs the internet, and even if they disconnect the society from internet connection, they will still have some network among their own residents. So, if you can find yourself close to their residential area, you may have access. But if not, you have the other two options that I stated above.

It will be very difficult for bitcoiners to cope with bitcoin without internet because everything is centered in internet. Even forum will be affected and other business activities. And as it is in the world now, every country should have alternative internet connection so in case the underwater cables are affected like what happened in Nigeria last few months, we can use the alternative. By right the internet should be connected without Sim Cards. And it is only when you want to make calls, sim cards should be needed. Sim Card should be own by internet providers while satellite should be provided by the government. And it is be decentralized.

I suppose that is an option. But under such an attack on a much larger scale, I presume Satellites would not work either any more. You would have no Cell Connection. If that is the case, you are pretty much out of options. One option would be to use Radio or alternative options that are not dependent on your local Cell Towers, Satellites or Internet Connection. Bitcoin is barely even used normally, as in through Wallets. People barely get to understand how it works. In such a scenario I guess we would be out of luck because nobody else would even think of using Bitcoin through Radio or alternatives. There are Applications that let you send messages through Bluetooth during a massive natural disaster, yet almost nobody knows of them. So many of them unfortunately end up not being able to call for help. Options exist. It is just that they are too unknown and you would be lucky to find somebody closer than a few hundred kilometers from you who is using Bitcoin the same way you are trying to.

The government's decision to restrict internet access is an act of desperation by leaders who fear losing control. It's a clear violation of basic human rights and freedoms. As for Bitcoin, it's a stark reminder that while it's decentralized, the infrastructure around it isn't. Without reliable internet, Bitcoin transactions grind to a halt. Solutions exist - satellite internet, mesh networks, shortwave radio... but implementing them is difficult, expensive and not always reliable. So they ain't perfect either. Still, necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. I assume that if there really are such restrictions on a global level, people will look for alternative solutions and adapt.

No internet access that is crazy because I only hear it from you even in ongoing war like Russian vs ukraine the internet service is still alive even tho is not 100%. But if that the case the only way is going via satellite connection. There is internet service provider like StarLink or other I believe.
But If the Starlink had government license it can be blocked too, so in this case all connection will be dead and the best option is to flee to other country

In addition to satellite internet and radio connections, mesh networks could be a solution, depending on the situation. Mesh networks are created with a software you install on your Internet router, and the router will then be able connect to other routers in the surroundings, instead of only connecting with the ISP. This means that potentially your whole city can be connected this way, and it needs only a few nodes which are connected via satellite or other means to enable a connection with the rest of the world. Since around 2010 already there have been many initiatives and some still work, mostly in European cities. The software is already quite mature. In a densely populated country like Bangladesh it may even work that you could interconnect your whole country with this method, as there are strong WiFi antennas which can send and receive data to people more than 10 km away. And you could even connect to India: simply build a mesh network in a frontier city with your Indian brothers and sisters ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (There seem to be no really big frontier cities unfortunately, which is bad for bandwidth, but even in a smaller city it would in theory work.) Bandwidth would be always an issue in this situation, but to transmit transactions it would be enough. The mining sector in the country however would suffer, and also LN could be complicated. [,,,]packet radio modem and it takes a data connection and modulates a radio transmitter to send out the information. [...] Thing is it only bypasses the LOCAL internet that is not working. There still needs to be a receiver somewhere in range (which can be several thousand miles) with a similar modem that IS connected to the global internet because pure and simple, using Bitcoin does require a connection to the global nodes.
If a country becomes isolated often from the Internet I can imagine business models for people in neighboring countries setting up receivers for this purpose, and could be paid in Bitcoin. Again the natural partners in the case of Bangladesh could be people from India, and I believe India should never be disconnected from the global Internet because computer technology is one of the country's main businesses.

This is what has happened here, the current government has been in power for 14 years, so even if they see a little movement, they are scared and want to suppress it. And now this movement has been suppressed in the initial stage, on the contrary, this movement has taken a larger form. As a result of which the Dictator government had no choice but to shut down the Internet and immediately issued a curfew. And besides, our government has not officially given any idea about the specific number of dead, but some news 200 has been reported internationally. But in reality its number more than 500. And until today around 6000 students and protesters have been arrested. In addition to satellite internet and radio connections, mesh networks could be a solution, depending on the situation.

Seems the ways are very Complicated and currently in this situation I think implementing those are one kind of impossible thing. If a country becomes isolated often from the Internet I can imagine business models for people in neighboring countries setting up receivers for this purpose, and could be paid in Bitcoin. Again the natural partners in the case of Bangladesh could be people from India, and I believe India should never be disconnected from the global Internet because computer technology is one of the country's main businesses.
In fact, the main business of the country does not depend on it. Depending on the governance system of that country, as far as I know, the democratic governance system is still in operation in India. Which does not allow the government to become a dictator. But the context of our Bangladesh is different, our ruling party has setup their close people in every sector from army to police through reservation quota in most sectors. And this is why our dictator is taking any decision at any time. Currently due to shutdown of internet the main source of income of our country garment industry sector has been hit hard along with freelancing sector has also brought a big hit. But the point is that they don't care about what is happening in the country as long as they stay in power.

I have almost the same amount of money in physical form than I have in digital, so I'm sure I'll be better suited to survive than people who rely on their credit cards.

If the government want to stop their people not to have access to BTC in the country, is very easy because they have the power to control anything in the country except decentralized currency, but they can disconnect the network from decentralized currency for their users not to have access to Internet in their country.
BTC is really prepared to face the situation, because we have heard many stories about some government that banned BTC and later unbanned it because they realized that it will help their people to eliminate poverty, delay in transaction and contribute to the growth of the economy. But the government that doesn't have the knowledge of BTC and crypto, it will be difficult for such government to have any feeling about their people, and they will make things difficult for their bitcoiners in the country because they will feel they are not benefiting from decentralized currency BTC.

I really don't think about it too much. I'm prepared to have some of my money in cash in case of emergency and that's all. If there's Internet outage, I won't have my bank account, communication with some of my friends, I won't be ale to check prices, stocks, news, you name it. I'll have to wait it out and endure,, like most other people. The difference is that I have cash. I have almost the same amount of money in physical form than I have in digital, so I'm sure I'll be better suited to survive than people who rely on their credit cards.
It is not only the matter of the cash it is matter of our Careers like as a freelancers and bitcoiner and trader I have in huge losses specially lose some of my client and failed to take any trades. Your case may be different because may be you have a physical business in your local area or something else that so you are not too worried about this kind of situation. But have you ever thought about Bitcoin mining and will gonna happen to them? Or the freelancing? How are they doing at this time? I also have cash to pass this time but I am thinking about how to handle the next situation.

Nothing like this has ever happened in my country that I know of. Even during nationwide protest, the government freeze the bank accounts of some people known that are involved in the protest but Internet was never disconnected. I only heard of government disconnect Internet from other countries. I noticed this is coming in only Asian countries. What will Bitcoiners do with their transactions/trades in this situation? Can a Satelite Internet connection can be only the way ?
Yes. The government can have control over the underwater internet cables. Those internet providers using underwater internet cables are even regulated by the government, and they can be controlled. Exactly. Same with my country as well, the internet connection has never been disconnected even for a day despite of some calamities that had happened so I don’t think I’m actually prepare for this. Not only me but even majority of my countrymen are not ready for this. However, if there are actually instances that we citizens have no choice left but to prepare for this, I think our government also will definitely warn us ahead of time so we can prepare earlier.
