I mean, if the wifi didn't work the credit card terminal likely might not have either. I've had issues tons of times in remote places with credit card readers.

And cash is cash, but I don't think crypto is really competing with cash, more with cash-alternatives (like credit cards, venmo etc.)

There's a process for taking the details for an offline credit card payment[0] which is settled later.

Bitcoin also lets you sign transactions offline, which the recipient can broadcast next time they have an internet connection.

A wire transfer is really a more apt comparison when discussing sending money from Coinbase.
