I couldn't pay for something at an airport store because their system was down

onchain is never down

genuine question: but what if the internet is down? like what if there is no connectivity, then you can't technically be "onchain" right?

i think about this more than i want to admit

I think, technically, you could still be onchain but not online. You'd just have to have some form of consensus mechanism that operated far, far slower and still enabled people to verify transactions.

But the ledger is effectively just a spreadsheet, which doesn't require connectivity to operate. (is my understanding)
