Tesla May Have Already Made More in Profits from Bitcoin Than Electric Vehicles
- mensetmanusman 6y agoAre there any good papers on the BTC network robustness in the event of war. It is well known that major military powers have the ability to cut essentially every ocean-floor optical fiber bundle handling the backbone of the internet at a moment’s notice. If this happens, how would the bitcoin network respond without active connections to other mining nodes? E.g. would the Chinese miners automatically (algorithmically) decide that they are the only existing miners, and so on and so forth? Would an act like this essentially fork bitcoin into country segments because each communicating sub-group would think they have the ground truth until the global internet is physically reconnected? Would love to see a simulation of this.
