you would just need nodes to agree, you don't need the internet as we know it.
people have broadcasted bitcoin transactions via long range radio frequency before.
- zaarn 9y agoBut has Bitcoin been run over LRRF before? And in a sustainable manner? And why would anyone actually bother when they can just use something that doesn't require power to spend? Especially considering that international trade would be toast anyway.
- heavenlyblue 9y agoThe only reason you would be correct is if the internet existed, as "bitcoin transactions broadcasted over long range radio frequency" would be solving exactly the same problem internet solves. So your point is invalid.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoYou're on to something, which is that I don't believe concepts like the internet actually die. A big network of ISPs like what we have today? That could be destroyed. Computers communicating to each other over long distances? I don't think it is hard - or so low priority to implement - that the disorganized nomadic doomsday scenario perpetuates itself for very long.
