Looks hard to accept, bitcoin without internet. Then how does it work?
I think even though there are satellites we still have to use the internet to get a network, maybe satellite signals can be used and need the internet to access.

Just heard about block stream today. To be honest, this is not going to have much affect on the current market situations. People that are arguing and saying that users from underdeveloped countries can now use bitcoin needs to think clearly and straight. Do you really think people from countries that have no internet access knows about crypto currencies? Do you really think they can afford to invest on crypto currencies? Are they actually going to use it to make day to day transactions?

It's not necessarily about investing in cryptocurrencies but using them -- namely, receiving/validating payments and propagating blocks/transactions. It's not really for day-to-day transactions since nobody can broadcast transactions via the satellite anyway.

There are two primary benefits I see. It can help reinforce robustness (nodes remaining fully synced and at least locally connected for propagation of block data) where lack of internet connectivity degrades network performance. Secondly, anyone receiving payments can validate them without an internet connection.

Without internet it isn't possible to make use of bitcoin as well other digital currencies. Only possibility is through the usage of satellite signals. Maybe in future we can expect this to happen. Without internet entire functioning of a government as well other sectors gets affected. So, internet growth will be moving forward and the same will let the cryptocurrency network progress further.

Internet is much important for us and for crypto it is useful that we have this mode of payment so many useful things is possible through this currency and Internet is important for the crypto like we can not access our wealth in crypto if we have no internet and with out internet we can not pay it to some one.

For now, I don't think that this is possible. We all know and aware that using Bitcoin needs internet. But if this plan and proposal will happen in the future, I will gladly accept it because for some areas that has no internet access, this is indeed a good thing to happen.

If it is true that Bitcoin can be accessed without using an internet network, this is a very remarkable progress, because with this progress it will increase interest and users of bitcoin, and people who do not have an internet network can use it.

Good thing. For major adoption, Bitcoin should be usable to all. There are still many places where Internet is not available, this *might* come useful.

I think can Bitcoin not use the internet? it can't even be without the internet because it's logically unable to access when there is no connectivity and I think it's very ridiculous

in my opinion it won't be able to invest in bitcoin without the internet. because everyone who invests in bitcoin must use the internet and must know the market or conditions. and others also have to look forward to the news. and we also buy each other through the internet.

I think you don't understand the news. It says you can use bitcoin without the internet CONNECTION but you can use it thru the rented satellite they have which broadcast bitcoin. So this means that you are still connected but NOT through the internet.

Using bitcoin without internet is not possible. We all know that bitcoin only runs to the help of the internet, that is why we called it a digital crypto currency, it has an physical appearance that we can touch. Bitcoin will be dead without internet it only depends on the internet if internet lost bitcoin will also disappear, but I think internet will not going to disappear because it helps a lot not only to individual but also on government.

yes this is technological advancement, this is very helpful for remote areas that are difficult to access the internet network, blocktream has now spread in the Asia Pacific, which means it is almost comprehensive throughout the world
That's true and I think it will be big help to us and also to some people that cant reach of internet in their country because we all some of are dont have ability to pay internet mostly to place that poor and cant reach of internet.

This will probably good and bitcoin become more useful. As we know now bitcoin or blockchain technology depends much on internet, it limit the areas of crypto currecny. There many ares that crypto and bitcoin cannot enter for the internet reason.

Therefore, the use of crypto without internet is better and even it will be a step forward of blockchain improvement.

had first to google some informations about this never heared of it.
Found good informations about Blockstream here: https://blockstream.com/satellite/
All they need is a Satelite he have also one unused on my house becourse we are on kable....maybe i ajust it.



regards
I have also had of it before either but never try it out to confirm how effective or good the bitcoin transaction works through the use of the satellite but with my research I believe Adam Back was the one that implement the uses of the satellite. But, it will be better if we could also use bitcoin through sms.


You can't send a transaction by satellite. Only update the blockchain on your node.

This is certainly a great progress. If we manage to organize it, we will have a lot more bitcoin users. This will also help to use bitcoin in underdeveloped countries, which is also a very good event.

in my opinion it is a new breakthrough and will provide great benefits for people who want to enter the world of BTC but have problems with the internet, perhaps with this technology many people will join this market and BTC will make greater progress. in the future

i think this is a great achievement for the bitcoin and cryptocurrency world. it goes to show you can access and do any form of transaction with bitcoin wherever you are with or without internet. This is great indeed.
I think this is impossible to happen, we know for ourselves that bitcoin is an online digital currency that can only be accessed through the internet. internet network and bitcoin have become one, and of course if there is no internet, it will be difficult to open everything related to bitcoin.

I don't know what this satellite is to bring,but bitcoin cannot be used without internet so this is going to give internet service to whole world?

For now most of the world's places have internet so availability of internet is not a problem for mainstream adoption.
