The children and psychos who have been operating much of the actual infrastructure are a far bigger issue than any technical spec.

Neither of these has happened, but if they did it would hurt the network.
1. Loss of net neutrality. I would divest 50% if this happened. It could mean the end of free, unfettered use of BTC.
2. Breaking of SHA256. If this happened much of the internet would be in chaos and bitcoin may be the least of your worries. Still, it would be bad.

Main reason that will hold it back: It doesn't have an inbuilt exploit that can be consistently used by one group or industry for self enrichment in perpetuity.

dont take the title literally you can name a few if you know some! I want to know as im writing a paper about bitcoin and I know some of the positives but not all the negatives if you include a solution to the problem that would be appreciated too.
