Bitcoin indeed might have 100% or 99.9999 uptime, but it doesn't close the possibility the network has a problem. Just remember the last year Bitcoin transactions fees are tremendously rising, and the network are clogged up. An uptime doesn't indicate the underlying technologies are working thoroughly and flawlessly. I mean Bitcoin is a brand new revolutionary technology, it needs time to be continuously developed.

for the time being these three social media have been smooth, BTC has experienced a significant increase of around 3%, this could be a signal that BTC will continue towards not until the end of the year
Well yes, just a little issue but might already been fixed by the owner, on the other hand Bitcoin still making it's way trying to recover a little and make some good run, the industry still yet to explode and the expected bull isn't around yet, still have time to buy and store while waiting for the next ride.

Although I see where you are going with this an attempted bump, doubt the price will go up based on social medias being down.
Just as these social medias has been down, Bitcoin transaction fees can skyrocket up to prices not worth of doing the transactions.
So granted Bitcoin is alive and well but myself any many others dont send Bitcoin unless the transaction price is low
1 Satoshi/vbyte | 0.00001 BTC/KvB is ideal

I agree with others. Don't get the point of comparing bitcoin to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp since they're different.
Other thing that makes them different is the three are centralized and sometimes it sucks especially when encountering such problems like what happened. But I dont think they'll just shut down that easy since they're big and lot of people are using it. During the time, there's a problem with the said apps, some people just went to twitter.
But yeah, long live for bitcoin!

This kind of occurrence will make us appreciate the power of blockchain technology and decentralization. There is a huge difference between this two. This is one of the reasons why the gaint social platforms will consider incorporating the blockhain technology into their system.
This is precisely the kind of answer i was looking for. It also explains the reason why the person opened up this thread.
Blockchain is a lot more reliable than the regular networks we are using right now. It can still be improved for sure, but the more talented individuals working on it the faster it will improve of course.
They should definitely at least start to consider the possibility of a future Blockchain implementation even if partial.

i think you don't know, bitcoin is available via satellite too
Well, it still under development and we can't still be certain that it will be use.
With what happened from this major sites it just show how vulnerable a centralization that could actually harm our privacy thus the incident was just nothing but a mere manipulation.

the incident that happened some time ago has indeed been questioned about the quality of the company owned by the mark. bitcoin has been on a reliable network, maybe only the confirmation time has experienced a delay, but that can be avoided by using a fee for customs transactions.
Its questionable but I guess its normal since we also experience a server down sometimes just like what’s happening on some exchanges before where DDos are so active. Well, bitcoin is bitcoin its a good technology but we must also anticipate a problem like this that can occur in the future especially the market continues to grow. March 15, 2019, 04:29:15 AM
Centralised control will always be doomed to the occasional failure, so much for their facebook coin which will probably crash as well. Bitcoin hasn't crashed in the last 10 years - excl price ofc
Well, what happened in 2017 with the fees wasn't all that positive, so that could technically be seen as downtime as well. If you wasn't able to pay $30 in fees, you would have to wait over a day for your transaction to confirm.Admittedly, Ethereum dealt with the same problems, but that doesn't change anything about the fundamental problem that comes with how severely limited decentralized networks are in terms of scalability.
The situation improved for Bitcoin, but still, with enough network congestion we'll be having the same problems. More people entering this space means more network congestion--we're only a bull run away from high fees.

Bitcoin is different to those social media because it's centralize unlike to bitcoin that have server. So even many years we used bitcoin it will not crashed unlike to Facebook it always log and in the future it will failed if they can't manage it well. Socila media need improvement so it will not loggy.

There were a glitches with the facebook and whatsapp but they were not down because we can still access them until now. Also, some reported errors such as they cannot access their photo albums and messenger in facebook but just for a temporary. Anyway, bitcoin is still uncomparable with those. They have different preferences, no need to compare btc with those apps.

i dont think that case related to bitcoin especially when bitcoin as cryptocurrency
Facebook family of app went down because there is problem on their server
People should have topic to discuss even it is not related Facebook family of app went down because there is problem on their server
as long they support bitcoin, i will do it too and say bitcoin is strongest technology between all "what mentioned" by OP. But actually blockchain technology itself already strong, that is why a lot of aspects adopted it. March 14, 2019, 06:55:33 PM

Bitcoin no doubt is stronger than facebook, twitter, whatsapp. This great technology is indeed a great one created to withstand anything and despite the price being down for now, bitcoin continues to grow in strength.
You are right, bitcoin is very strong, except compared to all three, bitcoin is still losing in terms of people who know and use it and if people who know and use bitcoin are the same as FB, Instagram and WA, then bitcoin will be unparalleled and I hope it will happen The next 5-10 years

There are huge differences between a social media platform to a digital currency. Don't compare those because it has a different function and users. Social media platforms are being down because of massive users in servers, there's a lot of big data in a platform so they're having maintenance to fix or allocate those data. A digital currency like bitcoin is a cryptocurrency where the transaction depends on the blockchain, it's a powerful advanced technology, you should know what blockchain is.
That's right. At the time of social media down yesterday I did not at all think I had to compare it to bitcoin because it was clearly different and what you said was the reason, but there are still people who compare things like this that are clearly different social media platforms and blockchain technology which must be there are maintenance on every social media server like that and even this forum has also experienced server down like them. So, that is not something that can be compared to bitcoin.

I don't see any reason why you are comparing these social media platform to a blockchain currency project. The difference are clear. Moreover this same social media platform are own by the same person. Or tell me why is twitter not also down?. Bitcoin is strong we all know but these social media platforms are among the machines we be needing to make bitcoin more stronger by spreading it potentials to the mass.

I also had a problem yesterday with WhatsApp, the problem was i can't send photos, but for me the chat works, but yes bitcoin always is online even if there some miners who stop mining, there are a lot of pools who still mine.
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are social networking applications for communication and news or other, and bitcoin only requires an internet network to stay online.so as long as the internet network exists or is connected all three have nothing to do with bitcoin.
Indeed, these three media have no direct connection with bitcoin. But, if there's no connection with bitcoin, then how do you market bitcoin to the public, because as far as I know Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are the most active and effective media, especially in terms of marketing. So, their existence's certainly very influential on the development of other bitcoin and crypto.
