RE: What happens to Bitcoin if the internet is shut down?
The internet is a web of connections between all the nodes on the network. The internet can't just "shut down" like flipping a light switch. It would require uprooting the entire infrastructure that supports it in order to completely "shut down" the internet. This is a silly hypothetical to be honest.
Hi. I realize you have flagged my post. Just wondering why? The image i used? I wasnt sure of the source and have changed it to something im sure is public. Would like to know what i did wrong to avoid it next time please. Thanks
haha, of course that is true, but i would never be so blunt and happily indulge any question- including this one that i get asked all the time by newcomers. . . . . However, theories are always useful toward better understanding and a global power shutdown however unlikely is not impossible. Even a hypothetical that is entirely impossible is useful toward greater understanding, Einstein was all about that.
