What would happen to Bitcoin if there was a global blackout? MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor mentioned in an interview that Bitcoin is one of the most resilient inventions in human history. He pointed out that the Bitcoin protocol runs on tens of thousands of nodes, with each node holding a complete copy of the ledger, making it nearly impossible to track or destroy. So, what happens to Bitcoin if there’s a blackout? Saylor explained that even if there’s a global blackout for ten years and computers worldwide are down for a decade, the Bitcoin protocol would simply go into 'hibernation.' As long as one node restarts, BTC can come back to life at full strength. In contrast, digital assets in bank accounts are extremely fragile—just a few server failures could wipe out the numbers entirely.
