Your topic is about a global internet outage for a week, not just a region or a few countries. The government can temporarily shut down the Internet due to political instability or natural disasters, floods to ensure national safety or security. That is completely normal and has no effect on bitcoin. But shutting down the global internet is a different story because the consequences affect not only the economy of a country but also the global economy. That is why I believe this scenario is very unlikely or will never happen.

No Bitcoin will not halt completely. Even when the internet shuts down in half part of the globe, there are offline alternatives such as mesh networks, satellites and even radio means of transmission which can broadcast and confirm transactions. These solutions may not be widespread, yet they serve as backup system to enable the network stay awake. Bitcoin creation gave it the ability to stay resilient, therefore whether disruption can delay it yet cannot stop it totally.

Bitcoin would likely still exist after this occurrence but it could only affect its value after the incident. It shouldn't be a debate if Bitcoin would survive this incident as it's not dependent on the Internet solely for its price manipulation or survival but a means for operation and networking which is also an important factor. But the world has gone beyond such situations as there would definitely be an alternative to an Internet source as it's need is highly valued. It's the world not a country so there would be measures to combat that definitely.

I have always heard 1 Bitcoin is 1 Bitcoin, if internet disappear one week, it's going to only affect the price because of the panic and fear but is it only Bitcoin that is going to be affected? Half of the world is going to be upside down because even stock ar going to crash really hard. People will be looking for a way to get power when internet is restored, I'm afraid we might even see war that time because we wouldn't be seeing information from some places.

I don't even pray to see this happen, it's not going to be about Bitcoin anymore, it's going to be about us and the world, things ar  going to be worse than covid 19 lockdown we had that time. That alone made the world to look like it's ending despite everything was going well, if the internet wasn't around that time I don't think many are going to survive to see what we are talking about today. I don't even pray to experience this kind of things we are taking about.

If you say Bitcoin doesn't use the internet is like saying you have a car and you don't need fuel. Bitcoin lives on the Blockchain network and this network talk to each other through nodes and miners and this is achieved through the internet, the node need internet to talk to each other and send transactions from one node to another and then to miners. If the network doesn't have internet, then there is no way node and miners can communicate.

The internet is like fuel to many things on the internet even though they are decentralized network, they can't stand alone without the internet. You can't send any transaction across the Bitcoin network on your phone without the internet, you are going to be having problems. We need internet in this generation that we leave today.

What a fantastic narrative that has started to pupup suddenly after breacking the 100k $$ bitcoin price! I always insist to avoid overthinking about some imaginary scenarios, but when i see five pages replies i conclude that conspiracy theory is much more spreaded than what i was thinking about.
Why should anybody think that the internet may shut down all arround the globe suddenly without mention the reasons and how this could happen.

Could Bitcoin still exist if the internet went out worldwide for a week? I will answer, anything is possible in this world

I'd actually like it if that were the case. BTC experts and observers wouldn't just focus on the price, but would all think of quick solutions if it happened at any time, leading to the birth of alternative solutions. Another reason is that not only does BTC need the internet, but the modern world also relies heavily on it to run all its online activities. That's the real test.

Technically, it's true, and an internet outage would temporarily pause. Transactions couldn't be propagated to other nodes, miners couldn't sync, but the blockchain wouldn't be lost—it's already stored. Once the internet returns, all nodes will sync again.

Can you tell more about it ?

But did you know that most users, miners participating in the market are for profit? This means that if bitcoin does not benefit them in the long run, there is no reason why they will continue to be loyal to it or love it. So if the internet goes down for a long time and affects their interests and lives, don't expect them to take bitcoin seriously.

There is no technology or way that allows us to use bitcoin without the internet because after all, bitcoin was created and depends on the internet. Solutions that help us use bitcoin without the internet are only temporary, our transactions will not be completed without being confirmed on the blockchain.

There are several ways to use bitcoin without internet like SMS transactions from CoinText service, or over Mesh or Lora network. Or you can use Blockstream Satellite which allows you to receive blockchain data via satellite without internet.

But in general all these methods are not popular and common because as we all know, the possibility of losing global internet connection for a long time is very low and we have never encountered this situation. The loss of global internet connectivity would cause catastrophic consequences, so governments will never allow that to happen. We don't need to know these methods either.
