In 2022 more than 35 countrys were setting the internet offline - in a minimum of 187 cases. Regional and national.
Some people think and market Satoshi Nakamoto was solving the "byzantine generals' problem" by creating Bitcoin. But this is not true.

It is very interesting to see, that a lot of blockchain developers are working on offline blockchain solutions!

Back when I was a kid in the 60's there was a project called "Radio free Europe"

It is still around look above. I would think that EFTbitcoin's idea of using a satellite for internet or blockstream could fall into this idea somewhat.
So the restrictive places in the world would still have some access to BTC and other coins.
