Are Crypto Users are really prepare to Face these situations?[No Internet]

[MUGNIA]

That's why I mentioned satellite internet as an alternative. I actually doubted whether the satellite internet connection would work at all. But besides, I myself do not know which company provides satellite internet in Bangladesh and what is their price. I heard about Starlink and I have no idea about its pricing.
However, as a 3rd world country and based on the income of most people, most of them do not have the affordability to implement this satellite.

According to what I found out online, Starlink subscription in Bangladesh is expensive with a monthly subscription of around $120. This may be wrong but that was what I saw online. The kit is around $599 dollars.

quite expensive with a cost of 120$ per month, and have to buy a device at that price,
but if there is no other choice for the sake of smooth transactions I think it's not a problem,
especially if you can get 120$ or even more from your income trading on various exchanges
if in my country there is an internet blackout maybe I will wait until the time limit determined by the government, because I am sure the government also needs the internet to communicate with other countries

How many days the Bangladesh government block or suspend with internet access for their citizen? Its very terrible condition how to against their citizen not happy how the government decision. The government have full control with internet access and we can't do anything except keep holding bitcoin assets and sell it after internet get recovery.
Difficult position for Bangladesh citizen exactly for they are traders, investors and the worker who have remote controling work. Wish the Bangladesh citizen can get back their internet recovery and return back to normally activities with internet access.

And, what stops them from allowing internet from offices and not from home users?
Just as your ISP cuts your internet when you don't pay the bill they can order every ISP to shut down all connections from normal consumers and keep only governmental services online, they can even allow special services banks to keep running while the rest of the population will have nothing.

The government control both the under water and on air site light so regardless of the route where the access the Internet, the government have total control

No government in this world has control over air communications, they can interfere with them but not control, and in countries with large areas even less of that, they could jam satellites in the capital city for example but good luck jamming all of Texas.

Now I want to know if there is ever such a situation in your country then what should be the pre-preparation?

I sure have come across this same topic of discussion on btt, and my opinion was one thing, which is that if Para-adventure, the world hit or experience an internet blackout even for just one hour, everyone of us will have alot of issues to worry about, and bitcoin or cryptocurrencies will be the last of them all.

I tell you categorically now that this world we live in is already used to the internet, that is, it's beginning to seem like the world itself is built and operating through the internet, without internet even for one hour, the world will collapse.
So, for topics like this, bitcoin shouldn't be the only thing we think about, because again, a world without internet for 24 hours, trust me, even the government systems will collapse.

Oh really I thought government have power over air site lights communications, since on a couple of time, we the government in my country have taken down some Internet service providers who may have acted against the government regulations or under political battle since there is a high rate of corruption in this part of the world, but now that I read that the government have not total control that sounds as a big relief and an assurance that governments have no control over bitcoin if they have no control over the Internet and in the situations where the government tries to halt the service of any Internet providers there will always be an alternative to connect to the Internet.

Seriously? Is your country that strict at this time? I am concerned about the situation, hopefully there will be a solution that benefits all parties soon. Because basically, the need for internet is not only for Bitcoin users. If the government does it to suppress the number of people involved in Bitcoin and crypto, then that is not the right step, because after all, isn't the internet already one of the main parts for society for their daily activities? But what do you mean, is the internet connection that is cut off only from the government or all providers in the country? If so, won't the providers also suffer great losses if the internet has to go down for a few days?

It did not happen now or happened recently. It took place almost a year ago in May 2023.  The government did not ban crypto to suppress the people involved in crypto because they know people are not only involved in crypto in their Wi-Fi they are doing other work too. Most of the people are doing online work nowadays and more and more people want to do Online work in different fields.

They shut down the internet to suppress the supporters of the PTI party because they were spreading more awareness of the situation that the opposition had created for the PTI leader. They were trying to arrest him without any real cause. You can learn more about him on the Internet news section. We all suffered great loss financially.

they could find a reason to suppress now but it will not also help the government. shutting down the internet like cutting the underwater cables is like isolating the country. for the government to run, they also need the internet and the banking system also needs the internet.

everything today needs internet to function. Bangladesh must have lost a lot of money after shutting off the internet for 5 days. like the rest of the countries today, they also suffered inflation.

A lot of this has happened in our country too, not only crypto trader or bitcoin adapter or the miner, to say the entire office court, banking sector of the country was collapsed for these 5 days. And the freelancers have lost a huge amount. I don't know if it will be possible in the future like bitcoin there will be a new invention that will decentralize the internet also.

Oh really I thought government have power over air site lights communications, since on a couple of time, we the government in my country have taken down some Internet service providers who may have acted against the government regulations or under political battle since there is a high rate of corruption in this part of the world, but now that I read that the government have not total control that sounds as a big relief and an assurance that governments have no control over bitcoin if they have no control over the Internet and in the situations where the government tries to halt the service of any Internet providers there will always be an alternative to connect to the Internet.

Not really Like that because just now I came to know that starlink also have to get liciend of our Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) for starting of a business in Bangladesh. So think government have the power also over the air.

Yeah freelancers from Bangladesh are I think in huge numbers based on what I have observed on Telegram some years back and this really is bad for them as internet is cut which is essential to get paid. I feel them really as this happened to my place once but it's due to natural disasters wherein internet and power supply was cut for like 7 months so it really hurts a lot.

It is a pain in the ass if the internet is shutdown for 5 days and you'll just have to wait for five days. The thing that people should worry is about internet shutting down completely and not just for five days. If there's a satellite internet in my country like $120 per month is already too expensive. It's what many people in my country received from their salary for 2 weeks or more.

The internet shouldn't be down for more than minutes. I am surprised to learn that people stay without internet connection for 5days. Was it a total shutdown or it was a limited supply network.

$120 is a huge money in my country that people do not earn in two weeks. But if the 120 could connect upto 50 users, people can synergize to get the network and pay monthly.

If you are referring to Starlink, you can connect up to 128 devices on the device. If it is a single device, you can get up to 600 mbps if the connection is good. But as you connect more device and using the devices, the Internet speed will be reducing. Also the network is not good when it is raining. But I think this would be good for those that have big family or people living at the same house.

Just curious, at the time you posted your thread, what kind of internet were you using @op? I think that's the answer.
The intensity of bitcoin usage is not as high as one might think, compared to other sectors including those that facilitate people's primary activities such as education.
I don't know how long your government will be able to survive without this basic infrastructure in this day and age. If they persist for long, they will eventually have to fix a lot of things if the situation starts to cool down.

99.99% of the Internet is cables, cables can be controlled just as a road can, one block and the entire network is down.
No country can control entirely its air space from radio waves or satellite signals (maybe the Vatican since it's 1 square km) it can suppress certain areas,  but again suppressing is not control.

Not really Like that because just now I came to know that starlink also have to get liciend of our Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) for starting of a business in Bangladesh. So think government have the power also over the air.

And how will they control that?
Do you think Starlink will give them a shutdown button for their satellites?
They gave them a license to operate in the country, which means selling services, being an entity, paying tax, and taking profits, but they won't be able to stop the signals even if they revoke their license.

How many days the Bangladesh government block or suspend with internet access for their citizen? Its very terrible condition how to against their citizen not happy how the government decision. The government have full control with internet access and we can't do anything except keep holding bitcoin assets and sell it after internet get recovery.
Difficult position for Bangladesh citizen exactly for they are traders, investors and the worker who have remote controling work. Wish the Bangladesh citizen can get back their internet recovery and return back to normally activities with internet access.

Whenever a problem becomes a norm in the society, a solutions comes when we least expect it. Very soon, there is going to be more independent internet provides that has independent protocol that no governments will ever be able to control either legally or illegally, not everything illegal is really a bad thing but any government can chose to called it illegal since they didn't approve the use.

If not some government hide behind some agenda and don't want to see the ugliness of the things they do to their citizens, why take away internet from the citizens. They are afraid how they are going to be judge but any government that loves this anarchy, their days are numbered.
