"Bitcoin is a lifeline. It is a money that cannot be shut down. Native money for the internet.

But what happens when the internet gets shut off?"

Iran's rial has plummeted in value—effectively a near-total collapse—sparking nationwide protests, which the regime has met with a brutal crackdown killing thousands and a near-complete internet blackout that severed 98% of connectivity, isolating millions from the outside world.

In Uganda, authorities similarly shut down the internet just before a pivotal election to suppress dissent and control information flow.

Yet in both cases, hundreds of thousands of people still manage to communicate and organize through resilient workarounds like mesh networks, offline apps, satellite tools, or decentralized messaging—highlighting the stark test Bitcoin's censorship-resistant promise faces when authoritarian regimes dismantle the very internet infrastructure it relies on for transactions, wallets, and peer-to-peer transfers.
