Examines how bitcoin transactions and blockchain data can travel without standard internet-using SMS gateways, mesh networks, and satellite broadcasts-to increase resilience and global access.
Can Bitcoin Be Banned? Global Ban Is Nearly Impossible
While individual countries can restrict trading and mining, bitcoin’s decentralized protocol, global nodes and peer-to-peer networks make a coordinated global ban nearly impossible without disrupting the internet.

bitcoin operates as a decentralized network sustained by thousands of independent nodes and miners worldwide, distributing validation, securing consensus, and resisting single-point control or censorship.
How Bitcoin Differs: Decentralized, Borderless, Finite
