Most people worry that Bitcoin could just be switched off — but @beau.turner21 explains why that's nearly impossible. All it takes is one device reconnecting to the network and the whole thing is back up. You can slow it down, you can dent it, but you cannot kill it. Even when China shut down its entire mining operation overnight in 2021, the network simply moved elsewhere and kept going. No financial system in history has ever been built to survive like this.
