We need a real decentralized mesh network for censorship resistant Bitcoin usage

I think it refers to mesh networks as an alternative in an adversarial scenario where ISPs or other points of the internet infrastructure get coopted to censor or shut down. Tor and VPNs would be useful tools as an overlay in that infrastructure

For example the [Briar app](https://briarproject.org/how-it-works/) does this:

> If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
