it is true bitcoin has faced so many challenges which could have destroyed it in the past but at every given time it overcomes and comes back stronger. We can boldly say bitcoin will survive any challenge thrown at it
Basically it matches the “can’t beat it, join it” requirement. Total un-contradictable survivor.
bitcoin survival all the deadliest attempt to kill it, and everyone else who try to kill it get themselve hurt.
There really is no deadly attack on bitcoin to kill it. Undoubtedly it was received with a lot of wariness and in some situations, it waa not received at all, and some governments moved to protect its citizens from what it thought unsafe but more importantly a threat to its monopoly. And there are the naysayers who consistently talked down bitcoin and the concept behind it.
Some deadliest attacks I could think of without the intensity order:
1. The software itself hacked
2. The block chain (data) itself hacked
3. The hodlers wallet hacks
4. The network hack (51% attack)
5. The encryption system itself hacks (ECDSA)
6. The crypto exchange mega robbery
I believe all of them could completely make bitcoin totally unable to use, when no one can use it, it is same as dead, just a software that wouldn’t work, why would anyone keep a software that keep returning fatal errors.
Survival is up to the people. It's not the currency/asset itself, that was proven to be successful after the first transaction between Satoshi and Hal Finney. Bitcoin now lives and breathes at a level equal to how the people hold and use it.
But I do not recommend anyone to buy it, I would only tell my friends to sell it, dump it, collect it, whatever they can do but DO NOT ever buy it once.
This is an excellent recommendation. Buying in smaller increments over time are best to ensure you're getting the most efficient price possible...the investment world calls it dollar/euro/yen cost averaging.
I’m very impressed with their vision in the bitcoin, when I first look at it, in my best possible knowledge I couldn’t see the future in the technology itself, now I’m truly convinced I’m so wrong and couldn’t saw the wildest imagination they have in their mind about bitcoin.
Despite the success of the bitcoin I’m still not going to recommend to anyone, it’s just impossible to have the same vision just like Hal Finney and Satoshi once have and share it to anyone. Dollar cost average, I know I could get hurt pretty badly during bear market, I would only use it during bull market.
