- thesausageking 8y agoIf 99% of Bitcoin's hashrate gets taken off the internet, it keeps going without any problem. That's the beauty of a decentralized cryptocurrency. There's no central node and it's supremely fault tolerant. Algorand has a lot of interesting technology and may have some use cases. But it's more like a distributed database / voting system than a true cryptocurrency.
