Some say that Bitcoin will become worthless when the Internet gets shut down.
I am not too worried about the Internet being shut down. It's been running perfectly for about half a century now, and has never gone down in all that time except briefly and locally. If it ever did go down, you can be sure that one of humanity's major priorities, transcending politics and even war, would be to get it back up quickly. Meanwhile, your Bitcoin would be totally safe as long as you can keep a twelve-word phrase stored somewhere on a piece of paper, an engraved piece of metal, or even memorized in your head.
