Basically if the internet goes down bit coin goes down. As far as i know bitcoin fully relies on internet so there's that. If you are talking about just down for a few weeks then probably bitcoin would get worthless again after that but might rise.

Bitcoin would go down along with the internet if it goes down. No internet means that Bitcoin can not work, we would be unable to send or recieve Bitcoins and it would become worthless because it would not work and everyone would be back to using fiat, such as Euro and Dollar.

If the internet was down for sure bitcoin will be very difficult to use because it would require Internet network. Maybe the transaction will have problems and will be stopped a few days to return to normal internet. Bitcoin is a digital currency that requires an internet connection so if the internet went down bitcoin certainly can not be used.

If the internet goes down then its the end of bitcoin. Period

The entire bitcoin network is based on the internet. The internet is where bitcoin is transacted through - consider it as the pathway the money needs to follow in order to get transferred.

But the internet going down is very less likely. So enjoy it while it lasts Grin

And blockchain running nodes on the internet.

How can this be run without an active internet connection.

Anyways chances of internet to make it shut down has low chance to happen. If internet will goes down look like people will back again mostly in physical transactions.

If internet goes down bitcoin become nothing. We know that bitcoin we use a internet to connect in our btc wallet if internet goes down bitcoin is going to be dead. Many people getting suicide if that will happen. I think many get crazy. But i think that is not gonna be happen to internet

Don't go overboard with it. People committing suicide? A know about a few guys who committed suicide after losing their life savings during the Mt Gox scandal. But such weak people are everywhere. Anyway... Bitcoin is a currency developed especially for internet transactions. So there is no point in having BTC, if the internet is not there.

Bitcoin is nothing without internet because in the first place bitcoin was made because of this.

Bitcoin can dominates the internet transactions of sending and receiving but never be will in physical transactions.

you are right, i think that bitcoin is going to be destroyed only if internet goes down
Its impossible that internet will goes down unless if aliens attack us just like in movie that they kills all machines electricity..
That its impossible to happen in the future..  if it will happen almost everything will be useless.

If the internet goes down, then bitcoin couldn't work. As it's easy to see, internet is a key requirement for its operation.

The bitcoin will always be there. There would still be ways to transfer BTC on a P2P basis. You would just need to have both devices on the same server or connection to be able to transfer to that person I believe

i think the bitcoin will also go down but only few days. because after that the expert will find another way of using and trading in bitcoin. bt people are not going to leave it at any cost.


If there is no internet then there will  be no bitcoin too, as bitcoin is totally dependent on internet and if internet will disappear in future then bitcoin will die too.
That is the main of disadvantages from bitcoin, without internet,bitcoin is nothing, we can't use bitcoin in the area is not covered by the internet. but I think the internet will be alive until a long time. but not close the possibilities for internet is going die.

totally, that's the main point for it's why the bitcoin just good become a side currency or assist. just rely with the internet connection make bitcoin it's not useful in every situation and condition.
There are quite a few issues with Bitcoin being tied so closely to the requirement of having an internet connection, but for most of the world right now having access to the internet isn't necessarily a terrible and taxing requirement. There are definitely some things and scenarios that can interfere with the internet and make it a challenge, but as long as we remain in a relatively connected world we'll be able to move things around.

The internet is designed not to go down, I think the OP is being a little fatalistic (Nuclear War / Chaos), however, I wouldn't trust any paper wallets of coins with the BTC logo if they were offered to me as their contents couldn't be verified.

If an outage in the local area occurred (and they do) it might affect local miners or businesses, but those types of outages usually last 6-12 hours tops.

I cannot able to digest the question you asked, because we are people now depending on the bitcoin  now it is the most valuable paying currency right now, many people have invested ton and tons in bitcoin, if this happens definitely many will suicide.

This made me laugh. I am imagining the 1930's great depression when the stock traders jumped out of their windows for their office because the have incurred a lot of debt. But in seriousness the minute the whole internet goes down is the time where everyone will be in panic. It will not just be bitcoin users.

people getting cry or suicide because many investor in bitcoin are big holder from it

Diversification is a must.
"Investing in a currency" is a madness.
The Myth of "Going to the Sky" pumped the bubble of Bitcoin.
Someone have forgotten how Exchange Market is working, there is no "price".

If the internet goes down the bitcoin will getting useless. We knows that we use only bitcoin if we have internet connection. If that happen with out notice people getting cry or suicide because many investor in bitcoin are big holder from it so its hard to have no internet connection that is only way to use our site about bitcoin.
