Jack Dorsey Hailed As A 'Legend' For Creating An App That Sends Bitcoin Without Internet—But How Does It

Cryptocurrency influencer and trader Merlijn hyped Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat messaging service on Monday for its ability to function without internet.

‘The Money Still Moves’

Merlijn called Dorsey a “legend” for building an app that can move Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) with zero internet.

“BITCOIN JUST BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO SHUT OFF!” the trader said. “Kill the internet. The money still moves.”

However, an X user objected to the language used, noting that while offline transaction signing and relaying are enabled, full blockchain verification and settlement still require an internet connection at some point.
