Can Bitcoin Be Sent Without the Internet? Absolutely! 🌐🚫

Bitcoin’s versatility makes it unstoppable, even in offline environments. Here are some innovative ways to send Bitcoin

1️⃣ Radio Waves:

Bitcoin transactions can be transmitted over long-range through radio frequencies. Perfect for remote areas with no internet.

2️⃣ Satellite:

With Blockstream Satellite, Bitcoin is beamed from space! Users can connect via specialized hardware to send and receive Bitcoin anywhere on Earth.

3️⃣ Text Messages (SMS):

Platforms like CoinText allow you to send Bitcoin via a simple SMS. No apps, no data just your phone number.

4️⃣ Physical Transfer:

Save a Bitcoin transaction file on a USB or SD card, then deliver it physically to someone who can broadcast it online.

5️⃣ Mesh Networks:

Devices like GoTenna create local mesh networks, letting Bitcoin users relay transactions without relying on the internet or cellular networks.

These methods prove that Bitcoin isn’t just digital it’s adaptable, resilient, and ready to serve in any scenario. No internet? No problem. Bitcoin works everywhere. Stack Harder ⚡️

Mesh networks are underrated I think.

That's one rabbit hole I've been putting off for a while now.

Have you explored them?

TollGate enables anyone to be an internet service provider. If you have internet, you can sell internet. If your neighbor is selling you internet, you can resell it and basically act as a range extender for the other neighbors who can't reach him.

The goal is to make the market for connectivity as accessible as the market for hashrate, so that anyone who sees an opportunity to deliver value can act on it.

Hadn’t heard of Tollgate yet, but sounds very inter. Will get to Googling. Used to do a lot with OpenWRT.

Initially, TollGate used WiFi captive portals to accept e-cash for access to a gateway. TollGates were also able to buy internet access from each other using curl requests to their respective captive portals, thus allowing the user to be multiple hops away from a KYC internet connection.

Now TollGates are more modular and they use nostr events for interoperability between services. This enables users to make small, frequent data purchases without the bad UX of captive portals:
