INTERNET CRISIS IN MIDDLE EAST: 72 HOURS INTO SHUTDOWN



A major network disconnection has left the region isolated. Currently, only 1% of connections remain active to the outside world—making voice calls, messaging, and information access nearly impossible.

For traders and crypto users in affected areas, this creates serious challenges. Transaction capabilities are severely limited, and market participants face blackout conditions. The situation raises important questions about financial resilience when internet infrastructure becomes unavailable.

This kind of disruption highlights why decentralized networks and off-chain communication channels matter for global commerce. It's a stark reminder of how dependent we've become on consistent connectivity.

Now those crypto people in the Middle East are in trouble. Without internet, trading is impossible... By the way, we really need to think about decentralization stuff.

This wave of internet outages in the Middle East... to be honest, it's a bit frightening. After 72 hours, only 1% of connectivity remains. This isn't just regular lag.

Now it's all over. The Middle Eastern network has completely crashed. Friends in the crypto circle are truly stunned this time. On-chain transactions have come to a halt. If decentralization was considered important before, now it's been harshly slapped in the face by reality.

No way, is the Middle East network really down? This is going to be fun. Those traders are probably freaking out, haha.

The Middle East network is completely down. Well, brothers in the crypto circle, it's time to eat dirt... Just thinking that only 1% of the connections are still alive is a bit hopeless. We really need to reflect—what if one day everything is completely cut off due to our heavy reliance on centralized infrastructure?
