Does the OP mean "Panic Button" instead of Red button?  Huh







Yea, I don't think we're no where close to that level yet.

You would have thought, with everyone having access to the source code of the Bitcoin protocol, this type of imaginary "Red button" conspiracy theories should not exist... but people want to believe, that these things can exist.

My "red button" theory, would be the private key to Satoshi's coins. {This will definitely cause a huge tsunami wave, if it was dumped}

If people panic sell about simple little things, like a site going down {Localbitcoins} for technical difficulties, imagine what will happen, when those coins are dumped.  Shocked

Excessive regulation could be a red button. The lack or regulation could be a red button as well since scammers would take over.

That and the concern of people having no cancel button, it's built that way but for some people who somehow send coins to the wrong address they are in a ... situation.

What are you talking about? There is no single button someone can push to destroy the bitcoin network. The closest to it is a 51% attack, even then is it still possible to destroy the www with a button? No.

Actually 51% would not be enough. We've had situations of 51% before a couple times, nothing happened. You would need more than that for the attack to be feasible.

not true, nothing happened because who gained the control, did not made anything to prevent harming itself too, right now those who have the possibility to use this "red button"(51% basically) are only the china big farm

If someone were to gain control of most of the nodes then a red button could definitely exist. Dont see that happening anytime soon though.

But for now it is hard to control bitcoin since the value of bitcoin is still volatile and there is so many polemic in this bitcoin things. And for this polemic they must be make sure to stabilize the value of bitcoin if they really want to take full control of bitcoin. Thats what I tought

Hello,

I wonder what do you think about what that "red button" of the BTC network could be?

And what is its impact on the BTC network?

Because I like red buttons and I'm wondering when it's gonna be pushed !

"The red button"

I would say there a few things like no electricity nor internet, a 51% attack. But to be honest i do not think there is a single point of failure that will destroy/down the network. Saying that though who knows what the cia/nsa have planned if it ever gets bigger than they want.

It will be pushed when they want it to be not a second sooner  Cheesy

when the red button you are looking for is the destruction of bitcoin then it will not be as easy as pressing tombol.tapi I think of the possibility to destroy the future Bitcoin by spreading the entire bitcoin owned by the inventor Mr. Satoshi.

What does your red button mean anyway? It is not possible for you to press it because bitcoin doesnt have any button to press altough the price is collapse you can't even press it, altough the market of bitcoin become rare it doesnt mean you can shut it down directly by pushing your red button

if you refer to something that could bring the price up then no one know, otherwise if you mean that the network will be shut down, then probably never, unless bitcoin die

Other then that, I see no danger for BTC. I used to think that banks might try to do something about it directly but now I see there s no way.

My answer would be: when 100% of those vested in it abandon it. Or an EMP hits the earth and wipes out electricity. That'll do it.

I wonder what do you think about what that "red button" of the BTC network could be?

The only thing I can imagine which can destroy the bitcoin network is a weakness in SHA hash. There could be one and it is not known yet.
