Bitcoin... a monetary system that requires internet connectivity and CPU usage... in which every transaction is recorded forever and the database is replicated by all participants... is "off the grid"?

  Nope. Zerocoin is. (Disclaimer : I'm a fervent Bitcoin supporter, I like its pseudonymous property and discard any anonymat claims. I've never used zerocoin because I don't have any use for it.)

    You've never used ZeroCoin because an implementation of it doesn't exist yet... But libzerocoin is coming tomorrow: https://mobile.twitter.com/ZerocoinProject/status/352136561397215232 https://mobile.twitter.com/ZerocoinProject/status/3521365613...
