Bitcoin doesnt need the Internet to run. There are a number of different ways to conduct bitcoin transactions without the Internet.
Besides, do you think the Internet can be shut down? Dont forget most of the elites today only are elite because of the internet.
haha... i know the elites and they don't care about the internet .. only the minions think internet equals freedom... im even thinking about getting rid of the internet...
bitcoin isn't a big enough draw yet and is still pretty fringe.. once it becomes more mainstream it will become outlawed.. look at how many countries already have outlawed it..
