If the world were to run out of internet for a month, the impact on cryptocurrencies would be severe. They depend entirely on connectivity to function: without the internet, transactions could not be made, blocks could not be validated, and digital wallets could not be accessed. Blockchains would be frozen, as nodes would not be able to synchronize or communicate.
The lack of access would generate uncertainty, a loss of trust, and a possible massive depreciation of the perceived value of crypto assets when the network resumes. Centralized exchanges would be paralyzed, and users would not be able to sell, buy, or move funds. Companies that accept cryptocurrencies would also be forced to suspend payments in that format.
Additionally, miners would not be able to operate, which would affect the security of many blockchain networks. Although technically cryptocurrencies would still exist, their practical utility would be almost nil during that time.
The event would demonstrate how vulnerable the crypto ecosystem is to total dependence on global connectivity, highlighting the importance of decentralized solutions that are resilient to massive internet failures.
