I guess it would not be possible to use bitcoin like offline currency. because as we know bitcoin is designed as a digital currency where bitcoin users use it requires an internet connection.

Your answer is correct, bitcoin is a digital currency that can only be used when you are connected to an internet connection. Bitcoin is not used in offline currency, it can not, it is very far from the real principle of bitcoin. Many countries forbid if bitcoin is used for buy and sell transactions that are like replacing the virtual currency, and not many parties receive payments via bitcoin.
You can only do for bitcoin can be used like offline currency, that is with you put your money that has been exchanged with your country currency into your credit card.

It is also possible to use it offline 'cause there's a lot of exchanging bank that are accepting bitcoin it can literally use to buy things with your local currency but the question have a two meaning if it is can use offline to buy something on the streets or something that you want to buy at local store your friend might be curious about this but try to explain her/him the most possible idea of what bitcoin has.

Your example is not quite right. If the bank or any other institution exchanges bitcoin to local currency, you use the local currency offline, not bitcoin. Bitcoin is a purely online currency that requires Internet connection to be applied.

Few days ago a friend asked me this questions. But i cannot understanding that how to i give him answer. At last i said him that, bitcoin is an online currency. Only this currency used in online marketplaces. It is not possible to use it in offline marketplace like offline currency.

But what is your best answer of this question?

I see you had a right answer. Bitcoin is a digital currency or online currency and it needs internet to survive, offline transaction is a bit tricky but it dont has to quite impossible. You need a third party in situations want to use offline example like bitcoin debit cards like wirex and uquid or OpenDimes.... you just need to deposit your bitcoin to these services and then you can use them in offline transaction. However, you have to think before using them because the fee is very high.
I still cannot understand the logic using which you can use any of the digital currency for which having an internet connectivity is a must condition to use like the way you use most of the normal regular currencies. All the digital currencies work online and that you cannot treat them like an offline currency. You need to be very much clear about it so that you may not fall victim of any of the scam.

You can trade paper wallets but overall it would need to be redeemed via the blockchain which is online.

i don't think so because bitcoin has not been designed like gold that is easily redeemed in the offline market and You need to be connected to the internet in order to get your transactions on the blockchain.

The world is evolving into a cashless society, and everything is revolving around the internet. I don't see any reason why cryptocurrency would want to go offline, nor is it trying. So, the answer is NO.

Bitcoin is not possible to be use as an offline obviously it can only be use thru online no else. That's why its called digital currency or virtual, this ois currently happened every time the bitcoin users are using it to get the benefits of bitcoin have.

Bitcoin is the electronic money that is widely known today. Currently, bitcoin is not used as a foreign currency. But according to current momentum, the cryptocurrency market is growing and bitcoin is also growing. This shows that in the future nothing is impossible. Bitcoin will also be used as foreign currency. I hope so.

As of now there is no way to send Bitcoin using offline transaction, but in the near future I think there would be, let's just wait.

The Ministry of Finance proposed to introduce a ban on the sale of crypto-currency by private individuals. The department notes that bitcoins and other tokens should be classified as a financial asset and sold through the exchange. Such a measure will help protect the digital money market from illegal operations, the authorities believe. The authorities do not exactly want bitokoyn to be an autonomous currency

You have to consider they are not cheap usb storage sticks but actually more similiar to an offline computer. They also sell in a niche market and develop free software for it all the time with excellent support. The price is very fair in my opinion. TBH i would even pay considerably more for it.

your answer is correct, because bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used when there is internet network, so if there is no internet network then bitcoin cannot be used ..
but despite bitcoin is online currency but you can use it offline. I mean like this many stores out there are receiving bitcoin as payment option and you can pay by bitcoin directly at the physical store. so you can not only shop on the internet using bitcoin but in offline or real world you can use bitcoin

Bitcoin is a free currency, and no one is in charge of you, but there is no one to protect you, and everyone needs to arm themselves by studying the principles of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a kind of network currency, which needs the support of the network to run normally.
The first thing which we get to know while studying any of the crypto currency is that you need to have an internet connection as well as some wallet where you can put all your crypto coins. You need to have an internet connectivity to perform any kind of operation starting from buying of even a single crypto coin till selling it. You can’t treat any of the crypto coin like the way you use regular currencies in your daily life.
In case there comes a time when there will be no internet in this world, then I don’t really think so that any of the crypto coin will be able to survive and that will be because of the reason that the entire crypto market operates on the basis of internet and that if there will be no internet, you can’t operate them. It is not a possible thing to achieve and that we can’t use our crypto coins the way we deal with paper money.

In the meantime that's not possible for now, we can only use bitcoin through internet or data connection then without it of course bitcoin will be useless at all. Meaning offline is not possible in any form of digital currency.
We will certainly need to have an internet connection no matter what happens in this world to regulate any of the crypto currency and to make any kind of transaction as well even in the future as well. There is no such possible way in fact using which you can use any of the crypto coin like the way you sue normal regular currencies in your daily life. Having an internet connection is a must condition that needs to be fulfilled.
