A similar topic has already been discussed just some months ago... What if the internet permanently shuts down, What will happen to Bitcoin Network if the internet shuts down?. The answer still remains almost the same if you go through the threads. I do not think there will be any different reply.

There's also a discussion about making an alarm system that give warning before the solar superstorm hits if ever it happen. I forgot the website where I have read it when I make search about solar superstorm as it is being broadcasted in radio news in mt country about what may happen if earth is hit by it. I agree with the post above that the answer would be the same as the other thread provided in the post above. Well, people won't be able to use it since you need internet for us to be able to send, receive and trade but the data won't be erased because it is stored in a computer all around the world which it is being downloaded or shared to all those who runs a node. it's obvious that no one can use Bitcoin until the internet is restored if it happens. I think for the price is it won't change since there's no change in its demand and supply since there's no miner and no Bitcoiners.

First of all thanks for bringing this to our attention we know that light or electricity is the holder of everything in the world now. And we all depend on it. The Satellite uses the solar system to power itself so if the solar grids have an issue, then it will definitely affect every corner in the world. But we have not experienced such reaction from the solar system in the world. well, if such issue occurred then the businesses in the whole world will be affect and not only bitcoin. But your bitcoins in the wallet will not be affected and only the transactions will be stopped.

I do not think that the solar flare would last as much as our dear Op has made it seem, but it is paramount to adhere to any tips that would ensure the safety of ones wallet and crypto asset nonetheless.
Am sure not only the decentralized network would be affected but as well as internet banking, transactions between P2p and withdrawals and the exchanged where the purchase of cryptos is made possible.

Thanks for the tip though, but I believe our technology has been equipped or is equipped to counter any resulting effects from that solar storm about to happen.

Although that incident is feared to happen since possibly we could experience network loss for many months so we really need to be prepared for that if unfortunate incident might happen.

But we don't need to worry about since I think experts have some ways to avoid that to happen since they have high tech equipment that can lessen up the damage cost by said incident.

But even though with such case we still need to prepare to back up our wallets so that it can't get affected much. If no internet on the world for sure all online activity including bitcoin will stop that's why we should do something to prepare since this is the only thing we can do for such unfortunate thing to happen in the world.

bitcoin has its nodes located in different areas so it’s less likely that the whole system goes down all at the same time

with that being said, it might still function for a while before the entire earth goes on a blackout all users of bitcoin will not be able to do anything with it you wouldn’t be able to buy/sell and send/receive or mine bitcoin it will be unusable but it’s ok because there’s also no one to use it anyway


i’m going to guess and say that bitcoin’s value might go down even if this is technically no one else’s fault people might lose confidence and be scared of the idea of bitcoin or cryptocurrency and their money being stored in the internet i’m gonna keep hodling because I know its price will increase after

The impact of an Internet outage on the Bitcoin network is not devastating, especially since it will happen in all countries of the world, but if it happens, the damage will be a major problem for the global economy, so all discussions about this matter are purely hypothetical, especially since most cables (even those that reach homes) have become fiber, especially in my country, which is copper wires are rarely found, and all services that will be affected can be shut down, isolated, and restored to service within hours. you should know that the Bitcoin network suffered an outage in 2013.

We know the impact of the thunder strike followed by lightning, this often causes alot of damage on life and other electric devices because the sound of the thunder moves the lightening towards a specific direction in which anywhere this is being felt on terrestrial habitat can cause a huge damage, earthing is one of the ways we can reduce the impact of this on electrocuting devices.


The bitcoin network is not depending on the general internet and likewise is the same as the blockchain technology, we are the ones that needs the internet to get the latest updates and connectivity we sole depends on before we can use the blockchain or bitcoin, for example you can use the internet of your hardware wallet, paperwallet also does not require the internet, the blockchain technology remain intact even if the entire internet is shut down just as bitcointalk host it's website differently without having dependency of the internet.

Ok here's my conclusion after going through every reply that has been made so far. We have adapted to something new in order to face this kind of situation. Fiber cable instead of copper wire. That should prevent a huge impact and should keep it to a minimum if this ever happens. So let's discuss the worst-case scenario. Just imagine for a second that it is happening and maybe it will not last for several months as I mentioned in the OP. But does every country in the world have the technology to reboot the system in a few days? Bitcoin blockchain is operated throughout the world. There will be many places that won't have access to the internet or electricity for many days.

How will it affect the others who will get access to the internet and also to Bitcoin first? Also, not being able to use Bitcoin because of this could lead people to think that it is not the best thing to use. Will this fade away like what happens to most of the FUDs or it will continue to impact Bitcoin in the future as well? Also, those who will not have access to it while others will have, won't they lose hope in Bitcoin? Because the price could fall drastically if people who get access to it first start to sell?
