A hypothetical global Internet shutdown lasting one day raises questions about how Bitcoin would endure such an outage. The resilience of Bitcoin relies on its decentralized nature, which allows transactions to occur without a central authority.

However, the cryptocurrency could potentially survive through offline transactions and alternative communication methods. Users might resort to sharing transaction data through physical means or local networks, maintaining some level of activity. The adaptability of Bitcoin’s technology could enable it to withstand temporary disruptions, though the overall impact on its value and usability would depend on the duration and extent of the Internet shutdown.
