 How can i spend my bitcoin?

[Prelude]

As the system is now, everything works through the internet. Debit cards, VISA, etc, all rely on the internet. You'd need to have cash or beaver pelts.

No, bitcoin would have to work on a different type of network if the internet somehow died forever.

I do think there is already some type of infrastructure in place, but I don't know any specifics. I'm sure someone more informed will post soon enough.

if the internet was cut off forever. A new technology will come in it's place..

Or we go back to RADIO and ANALOG TV...

[(oYo)]

Wouldn't BTC obviously die without internet? There would be no way to keep it decentralized as far as I can see.

Also, no internet would mean going back to overpriced porn mags and DVDs.

There are so much interesting idea

[techgeek]

The scenario of not having internet is not even possible.

1. Energy companies provide constant monopoly cash flow
2. Internet / Phone Service providers love it as well

= always going to be electricity, plus internet.

Cryptocurrency cant work without internet because you wont have any way to verify the blockchain or anything bitcoin-related..

[taco loco]

[olcaytu2005]

Can blockchain be able to work as offline?

Beaver pelts
Well I would say you need to have cash or gold nearby although it wasn't that long ago really only 20 years since most people lived without the internet in their lives in the West, I guess we would go back to blockbusters and movie theaters go bowling check out the pool more to hangout with people our age/ parks and live more filling productive lives while socializing and reading books and novels in library's and talking with others

As for the OP well if the internet was that dead we have bigger issues at hand but the full blockchain would still be kept somewhere on one of many nodes.

If the internet died I'll probably get a real job, get married, have two kids, build a house, plant a tree... that sort of boring stuff

Yes boring but its far more better than sit in front of your PC 15 hours / day  and more healthy.

Hell, no internet? and where I would go to search my porn anyway? I would not surely go spy my sexy neighbor.

Pfft why not just use a drone we only said if there was no internet
Although a real tech savvy person would have put a bug onto the PC then turn on the camera lol.

Isnt there some kind of new decentralized internet in the works? Thought I read about that somewhere on this forum.

I'm with a group of people building a decentralized wireless network in Germany that could, in theory, one day act as a backup Internet. -> http://freifunk.net/en/ Nothing to do with this forum though.
