Through physical wallet but I guess just few people would do it.
And you should really know the other person who are going to buy or sell the crypto.

There's a very big disadvantage to this, you have to know the individual you're about transacting with. Which is a step back if truly bitcoin whats to dominant the market making it the NO1 currency to be used for our day to purchase of goods and service. So I guess in conclusion bitcoin needs the internet for its purpose to be fulfill.

My own conclusions at your problem is that you already sent the transaction until you have an Internet and along the way have a connection problem but the transaction been made it is just not recorded to what gadget you were using with and on your way home the device connected through the internet and once again fully committed to the internet so far the transaction recorded sync and verified and be remind that if you were using electrum there's an option that you can spent unconfirmed balance meaning by this is that the balance not been verified via block chain could be send.

I don't think that it could be done because every transaction needs to be verified.
And how could it be verified if you wouldn't use the internet?

No, I don't know why people are saying that you can actually transfer bitcoin without being connected to the internet. Can you search google, Use google, Download a movie without being connected to the internet? You could however buy the movie from a shop or buy a book instead of searching google, But you can never really download anything if you're not connected to the internet.

As of now there is no way to transact or transfer bitcoin without the Internet but I read an article before that they are developing an altcoin that doesn't need an Internet to send the coin in other wallet but it still need Internet to sync his wallet to appear in the Blockchain.

Bitcoin is a digital currency and so it's transaction can only be carried out online though the internet.

It is a decentralized virtual currency and not fiat currency.

I think it will be almost impossible to transact bitcoin not using the internet as that would defeat the purpose of its creation.

Bitcoin is versatile so if there's a way to send, receive and trade without internet then that would be possible. It is actually beneficial for users because it will lessen hackers and transactions will be seen.

Google can't help you in this case. Bitcoins are meant to be online and you can only store then in various coins or cold storages which would than make them stored offline. You cannot transact bitcoins offline as they need a active internet connection to push the transaction into the block. Bitcoin transactions are pushed forward into the blockchain to process where the miners make the transactions process by solving the algorithms.

Bitcoins can be assumed as a digital currency which does not have any hard currency form (Exception: Cold storage, physical coins, hardware wallet, etc). They can only go through via the internet. You can perhaps trade for bitcoina offline if they are stored in the physical coins but it would go much hectic.

We all have a active internet connection so why shall we go for offline trading? Bitcoins are best as they are and also using and transacting bitcoins is much easier and secure online.

Ofcourse it can! but not everyone is comfortable with paper wallets! Before u even send to a paper wallet you will need internet! I would have loved an SMS network for $Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency! I think dev of crypto projects should start thinking in this direction, because it makes adoptability even easier! Most people can use a non internet enabled phone to send text messages and take/make calls!! these group if it can see sending of crypto as just doing a text message, it would be better for the growth of the technology! It would surprise you to know that there are millions who still can't afford a smart phone, SMS would work magic for these millions!

Yes BTC can be transferred or sent without the internet. We have a wallet known as the paper wallet which does that job but it depends on how you trust the sender before you can use it.

I honestly just found out that there is a paper wallet, it looks like bitcoin is ready to face the world without the internet
then what is my question, how do I access the paper wallet? does it really really not need an internet connection?

If you are familiar with paper wallets or physical Bitcoin then yes it is possible to transfer Bitcoins without the use of Internet. However, giving away paper wallets or physical Bitcoins is different from sending through internet because physical Bitcoins has a fixed value line 0.1BTC, 0.5BTC or 1BTC depends on its face value. I have a few of those physical coins, some are funded and some are none. Those that are funded can be given away as a gift.

I don't there is a so called physical bitcoin. We all know that bitcoin and any other cryptos can only be tranfered through internet. So we can't trade cryptos without internet.

Yes i agree on that, i believe that the bitcoin is runs only through the help of the internet. I believe that the bitcoin will stop if the internet shot down. But I think internet today is really useful and slowly become a part of human life so then I believe that the government will not stop the internet.

It is not possible, because Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency is a digital money. It lives in the online network, It works in digital and digital means online here. We can't touch bitcoin, If you want to trade bitcoin then you must go for face to face trade. Otherwise, it is not possible without an internet connection. Can You able to sen Skrill or Paypal without an Internet connection? You may withdraw PayPal from the bank, but you have to deposit or send with an internet connection.

I'm from Nigeria and as you all know, Nigeria is a developing country and when it comes to internet connections we're not there yet. I live in the city area but travelled to my village few days ago for an occasions. On the way, I got a call from a friend requesting to buy $550 worth of bitcoin, I tried sending the coins to his wallet (he's a regular buying so I already have his wallet) but the transaction refused to go through because their was no internet connection. When I finally got to my village the transaction went successfully because we had internet.

After this experience I thought about other remote villages in Nigeria and African countries that don't have the Internet 24hours if they were to use Bitcoin (cryptocurrency in general) for day to day transaction can this be done without the internet?

I tried searching the web but couldn't find any post that gives me a satisfying answer, so decided to contact forum user.

There is way to transfer bitcoin without the internet, using paper wallet. But, in that way, it will just take the transaction longer. What if your transaction is across the globe? Who would want to carry a sealed paper on a plane and to a certain person? It will just take longer. That is why there is internet, it will make the transaction faster.

The sender need internet connection to sent bitcoin
The reciever need also an internet to verify the bitcoin transfering their wallet came from blockchain
So simple to elaborate bitcoin is made from the new technology using internet and computer without this bitcoin is useless

I believe you had observed that yourself that without internet connection, transaction may not be feasible as internet is the only tool for the cryptocurrency transactions. I think that your government may soon consider internet connection such that the people in your country could also benefit the cryptocurrency technology.
