I think all the guys here are right. We can not use bitcoin if your device is not connected to the Internet. This is the main difference between bitcoin and any other currencies.
No that's is not the main difference between bitcoin and other currencies. If you read the white paper of bitcoin you will understand that it's a peer2peer decentralized cryptocurrency (virtual currency). While other currency (fiat) are centralized, been controlled by government bodies. Bitcoin is totally opposite

This is possible if you store it on storage devices such as HDDs, SSDs, Ledger Nano S or other dedicated Bitcoin storage devices. The use of these devices helps you protect Bitcoin and also perform necessary transactions in LAN.

The most important we need for trade, sent, received etc is internet. Without internet we can't do anything regarding bitcoin. Same as us , without oxygen we can't alive.

That's true, without Internet nothing is possible. You need to have an active internet connection to transfer from one wallet to another or by using an exchange.

There should be a solution to use it without net. A lot of people still do not have regular access to the internet.

The Internet is very important for bitcoin, as outside of it bitcoin simply can not function. Therefore, for all operations with cryptocurrency you need access to the network. But perhaps in the future this problem will be solved, as it can really create obstacles to the implementation of bitcoin as a currency.
They are both really connected with each other, so it's impossible to separate them to make transactions or offline transaction. But if for receive a bitcoin, it's not mandatory to connected through internet, but the increasing balance isn't visible.

Bitcoin cannot be traded with out the help of the internet. Bitcoin is a digital currency that requires the internet of things . one of the major reasons Bitcoin was built is to solve the challenges  of trans order transactions. Bitcoin is tradeable like every financial instrument on the forex market , without the internet you can not trade effectively since you are connecting to individuals or cooperate organization  within the Globe you never meant before who are ready to sell or buy crypto asset.

Its really impressive , but to use it i think you need to have devices around like rooters , something like that with radius . If somebody can make it possible , then yes we can send it without internet . Same would apply with sending files and other stuff we do with internet .

The Internet is an integral part of bitcoin. At this stage of its development, we cannot use it without an Internet connection. This is a weak side of bitcoin, which is yet to be adjusted. And I hope that it will be really settled.

At the moment it is really impossible. The main advantage of bitcoin is that it is concentrated on the Internet. But as you may have noticed, this is its main disadvantage.

Those in the remote part of any country that have  no internet coverage have no business with bitcoin at the moment. I know that the rate at which we have innovative ground breaking blockchain technology project springing forth there will be such technology that will enable bitcoin transfer without internet in future.

The possibility of sending bitcoin without the use of internet is not certain because the internet is the life wire of everything about bitcoin.

I can not say whether it is possible to do so, but it seems impossible without the Internet because you need to enter the key without which it is impossible to get to the funds. If there is such a method I will be glad to know.

Bitcoin is transferred after initiation from the sender of the transaction through the internet.
The sender isn’t required to be connected to the internet to sign the transaction, but he is required to be connected to the internet to declare his transaction to the network so that they can record it. A transaction even signed, if not recorded within the blockchain is equivalent of it having never occurred.
In order for the transaction to complete, it has to be recorded on the blockchain and consensus should accept it.

The receiver does not have to remain connected to the internet as the transaction happens since the sender pays the transaction fee and gets the transaction recorded in the blockchain. Once the transaction is recorded, the wallet is free to sync with the blockchain and display the funds received. Even if the person isn’t connected to the internet, the blockchain explorer shall display that the funds have been transferred to the appropriate account. Whenever the receiver needs to spend the money within their wallet for a secondary transaction, they may sign the transaction offline, but whenever their transaction is broadcasted to the network, the miner verifies that there are funds allocated or present in the wallet to initiate the transaction.

To conclude, the receiver does not need an active internet connection to eventually receive the money, but however they do need an active internet connection if they wish their wallet to reflect the funds that they’ve received. They are required to have an active internet connection to broadcast their transaction after having received bitcoin to make a secondary transaction as well.
