Only Scam Govt's do such decision however if any govt did, then use proxies that is the best solution for accessing wallets. China banned recently and again China open new coin, allows bitcoin, etc all these fake news. I suggest you to need not worry about these things as it itself can clear everywhere.

Bitcoin is Strong now with more members from worldwide and a lot of blockchains are occupying everywhere.

it could be a government of a country blocking bitcoin for its own country environment, but the government can not block the bitcoin distribution in other countries so the bitcoiner can still trade its bitcoin in other countries

If ISP block wallet and exchanges services, people would still be able to use TOR or proxy services to access them. So I may say that's impossible until govs block the whole Web.

In fact to block bitcoin completely, you need to disable the Internet. That in fact in today's world is not possible)

It can't. There are many nodes that Bitcoin has, more than what sites like coin.dance say and it's impossible to find them, let alone block all of them.
They could attempt to ruin Bitcoin's quality of service by blocking exchanges, forums and web wallets, but people would still be able to use it and they'd find a way to do all of these things.

It's also important to note that any ISP blockages can be circumvented by using a VPN, thus it wouldn't even be remotely effective.
The only way to stop Bitcoin is by not using the Internet at all, like North Korea does.

Hello,

I am reading a lot on the internet about the fact that Bitcoin is not stoppable as not centralized.

However what would happen if a government decision to implement DPI blocking of Bitcoin protocol?

Seems it is fairly easy for a government to do so at ISP level... On top of it exchange could be blocked with a firewall on top of all others kinds of bitcoin forum etc...

Thanks for your opinion.
