if internet goes down then bitcoin also breakdown because bitcoin is totally depend on internet but i think internet can not go down because nowadays technology is much more advance in the world and internet will never goes down now in modern age .

Pretty much this is true, if internet goes down bitcoin network will collapse (we are talking about the global internet shutdown here). Furthermore in transaction like payment online or remitances, as stated, when bitcoin network collapse all the transaction will be at halt. So no remittances, even all sort of online transaction will stop.

I don't think all of the transactions will stop. Instead, I think the BTC network will get fragmented.

Intercontinental cables are the most vulnerable pieces. Intracontinental ones, on the other hand, have a good chance of surviving. Bitcoin transactions can still be broadcast, but it won't reach the other side of the world. Miners can still receive transactions, but only from the extent of their connection (e.g. a US miner can't receive Chinese transactions since trans-Pacific cables are offline). There would be a fork basically.

Well, i think internet is never goes down. If internet goes down, bitcoin will dead because no one can't using bitcoin on online, but maybe some people can use bitcoin with their offline wallet.

anything can happen, dude. I sure similarly with your said if the internet goes down, bitcoin will dead because no on can using bitcoin. but what you can do with the offline wallet?I think is not having a value at that time. the one disadvantages of bitcoin, without internet bitcoin, is worthless.

of course anything is possible but the important thing that you are forgetting here is that the chance of happening a lot of these scenarios are so small that it becomes negligible. so in this case you can safely assume it will never happen because the chance is so small.

You mean like that move for Johny Deep? I forgot what the movie was called but the internet went down in the end and people lived normal simple lives. I think those who are rich by making money on the internet would eventually become poor and those who worked through hard labour and a non internet means would be the ones who are rich.

What if the world ends? What would happen to all the fiat currency that is on the planet?

It is unlikely that such a wide spread internet access will all go down at the same time. But bitcoin will be revived as soon as internet comes up online again for at least one of us.

For my view, if internet go down, so than we will build it again and let start the work again, but imaginary, internet never come again for a long period than we will use the fiat currency.
If we see the previous last 30 years, so in that time majority of the people didn't know about the computer, and in that time no bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies was here, people only using the fiat currency, and they was happy and they was living the life. So same situation will be happened again, if internet go down.

Bitcoin transactions, mining, and other bitcoin activities are linked and processed online through the internet. Without the internet people cannot use, buy and sell bitcoins. In short it will be the end of bitcoins. Fiat currency is declared the winner and will be used for generations. Saying goodbye to internet is saying goodbye to bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency economy.

The internet will never go down globally. It might happen in some countries, but that's all.

The great thing is that mining farms and nodes are hosted in different places around the world.

If the internet in one country goes down, then there will always be the other countries left to keep Bitcoin up and running.

That's why it is very important also for the future that nodes and mining farms get spreaded around the globe wisely.

given the cayos happening in the world i wouldn't be surprised of nuclear war and in this case i would expect internet disruption question is what happens to Bitcoin if internet goes down?

home internet and mobile internet goes down

do not mean trade bitcoin to buy/sell i mean using it as a way of payment say you wanted to send money to someone abroad for family far away

We use Bitcoin because we can use it anywhere around the world using mobile, personal computer, laptop etc with internet connection. Without internet connection you won't be able to do any transaction with it. The result is Bitcoin and other crypto currency will all become useless without internet connection. Therefore as the internet goes down all crypto currency will also go down with it.

Initial days the confirmation gets delayed, further the mining gets affected which collapses entire bitcoin network and other digital currency network. In reality internet won't go down because not only our bitcoin, each and every sector in one or other way has some connection with internet.

Of course Bitcoin will not process without internet, however if this happens, all of the world is in tremendous chaos, businesses, transportation, communications will greatly affected, not only bitcoins, but all other currencies will go down.

So I guess, All governments and other people including us is preventing this type of problem.

home internet and mobile internet goes down

Bitcoin network completely breaks down. no hash power, no node. no confirmation, then we have to go cash, like dollar, euro.

If one day the all internet is down, it means probably ww3. In that case, even dollar or euro will have no value anymore.
I think in that case, better to have gold.

though war will happen again this world even though I don't want a war happen very unlikely internet will disappear from the modern world that has been what it is today.

Well, if the internet breaks down, bitcoin is last of our woes, the world would in fact fall apart as we know it right now.
So yeah, bitcoin functionality would breakdown, no confirmations hence no transactions, it's like asking what if bank processing servers were bombed, surely the functioning of the bank would end, but breakdown of internet is highly unlikely at a global level, so I doubt bitcoins going anywhere

There is no chance for the internet to go down if this ever happens means that we will be totally screwed and we will have much more importand things to worry than bitcoin.
