If the internet goes down, Bitcoin is rendered useless, you pretty much can't do anything. But I doubt that the internet will ever go down, as in like fully shutdown across the whole world.
Not only Bitcoin would go down but every other website and companies that make use of the internet. If the internet would go down today total chaos would break lose.

If internet goes down, i will lose my $100 dollars of bitcoin.. Thats all!
face to face trades? Of course there must be a way to broadcast the transaction anyways. And as said on previous topics, if there is no internet service, we probably have bigger things to worry about.
I'm not sure it will work. what if the city a trader lives in is far from the buyer? it will charge more in transportation. so people will think twice or even more.if internet goes down, I think the only answer is uᴉoɔʇᴉq is about die, and gonna die.
I think that much of the daily bitcoin exchanging action doesn't happen on full nodes anyway....For example, transactions can take place thru the use of proximity wireless transfer technologies (point to point) and be parsed into the ledger later. As long as the ledger isn't corrupted by the event, I don't see why transactions still couldn't occur at a local level. I mean, in such a scenario, people won't be conducting business thru the postal services anyway....everything would have to be locally accumulated. Right?
If internet goes down BiTcoin will simply replace it. Don't you know that Blockchain is operating independently and you can just connect your computer to it and use it however you like, you can even gamble and watch movies using Blockchain as your primary browser.
really?can you tell me hows it work?i never think that blockchain working independent,but how can we make transaction between exchange and wallet?how if i'm use coinbase wallet,its still can make transaction? 
One of the option with us is that, the banks and governments adopt uᴉoɔʇᴉq, so when the internet gone down, there will be a way to go to related bank and government to ask for their money. Like master and visa cards.
if that is true, then all will be fine. but the fact that the internet is one of the important points which build bitcoin far. fast internet makes bitcoin transaction to be faster, so if the internet is down, so is bitcoin. because I think the Internet is the heart of bitcoin, but it's all just my thoughts
if the internet will be gwt down then bitcoin will also down because without internet you can't use bitcoin and transfer to anyone since its an digital currency not a real in that case you need to do face to face trade with your local currency or with any precious/expensive metal

Mate if the Internet goes down the Blockchain will go down with it because no one would be able to broadcast their transactions over the Internet and no one will get any confirmations because no node would be able to see it. I don't understand what you meant by using Blockchain as a primary browser at all
Is this an April Fool's joke?

I think it will be very bad for the uᴉoɔʇᴉq because the uᴉoɔʇᴉq is fully based on a network there is no offline system or something like other currency's.
Most likely if that happens for a long time it will destroy the uᴉoɔʇᴉq for sure without any doubts.

I think it won't destroy bitcoin but freeze it. Because all marketing companies use internet therefore nothing will rise or down. And it's unlikely to happen though. So, we don't have to worry.

What will be replaced by bitcoin. I believe above mate says that internet will be replaced by Blockchain technology. If this happens also without networking nothing is gonna be effective.

if internet goes down, sure there is no life for uᴉoɔʇᴉq and all the bitcoiners will be found upset.. but that won't happen very easily.. by chance if internet is lost, we can regain it and can give life to uᴉoɔʇᴉq again...
Nah, i'm sure internet never goes down. If internet goes down, it will make a chaos in the world. Even uᴉoɔʇᴉq is dead too, because uᴉoɔʇᴉq is life because the internet itself.
but we must remember the rules "anything can happen, and Nothing imposible"
i think someday in future internet can be down..

not just affect with bitcoins but bank transfer , e payment , etc will be affected by it , and i can't wonder if that thing really happen 
This is the reason why fiat will never disappear.
Fiat is a good way of face to face transaction. It does not require internet.
uᴉoɔʇᴉq will fail in case internet failure.

People will start using cash is my guess and when internet back up we will use bitcoin again just like if PayPal goes down we will use a different service while it's down.
