May Bitcoin be touched by his Noodly Appendage

What do you mean by "backed"?

i think what i mean with backed is the blockchain then.. could the developers change something? like changing the limit to 22m btc?

They can change the protocol rules but if users don't want to change to the modified version they can stay with the old rules (and a fork with old rules will likely be developped by another team of devs)

hey everyone!

i was wondering: theres a anonymous guy who invented bitcoin. but there are now a numerous of other coins + developer teams..

so who develops bitcoin and like.. is there a possibilty that like the bitcoin system could simply been shut down?

until now i always thought ok so many ppl are trusting btc so i guess this cant be an issue but i just wanted to ask, sorry for newbie question

is the bitcoin system simply backed by all users who use the client?

peace from austria

You can find the developpers of Bitcoin here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors
As long as at least one copy of the blockchain exists, Bitcoin can't be shut down
