Not sure the Bitcoin blockchain would have capacity for regular syncing though. Let’s say a billion users want to sync once per month, that’s 33m per day, but Bitcoin can only handle 500k tx per day. They’d only be able to sync once every 5 years, assuming nothing else was in any of those blocks for 5 years.

But the blockchain you use isn’t that important. You could use something else like Dogecoin or BSV which has higher capacity.

Just had a quick read. Interesting ideas.

Does #Bitcoin support offline transactions in any form? By that I mean let’s say I put 5 Bitcoins in my wallet on a phone . What’ are the tech barriers and concerns that stop me doing phone:phone transactions let’s say via Bluetooth offline and just syncing with the network when I have connectivity again? Isn’t this something we need to be more resilient?

Are you referring to Simple Payment Verification? It is referred to in the original white paper but I’m not aware of any implementations.

Bitcoin SV has been promoting the concept of SPV and has a LiteClient toolbox available.
