The primary vulnerability of the Bitcoin network is not its cryptography, but its reliance on the terrestrial internet. If a government shuts down local ISPs or an undersea cable is severed, a region can become “partitioned,” leaving users unable to sync their nodes or verify transactions. To counter this, developers and companies have launched satellite-based
