Title: [2015-04-20] Medium: Bitcoin is Bigger than Google Post by: LiteCoinGuy on April 20, 2015, 02:53:35 PM Bitcoin is Bigger than Google
Depends on how you measure it. But the Bitcoin network is becoming large enough that even companies like Google can’t take it down with their current infrastructure. https://medium.com/@muneeb/bitcoin-is-bigger-than-google-ec84310296d9 Title: Re: [2015-04-20] Medium: Bitcoin is Bigger than Google Post by: Bit_Happy on April 20, 2015, 04:02:10 PM Bitcoin is Bigger than Google Depends on how you measure it.

I thought we passed that point long ago? Here is more: https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/1361/1*3XhOKSC9jRsX__vzMg0Vdg.png "Now imagine these football field size datacenters that Google owns. If they shutdown all other operations and point all this compute power to Bitcoin, they still won’t be able to take down Bitcoin. That is a powerful visualization...."

Are you saying that Google, who know all available information in our world today including spam and trash in millions of personal email accounts, cannot divert all that computing power to infiltrate Bitcoin with a virus on the blockchain? Impressive. Title: Re: [2015-04-20] Medium: Bitcoin is Bigger than Google Post by: JayCoDon on April 21, 2015, 01:11:50 PM That's the power of a decentralized system. There are so many small machines that, when they combine together, become way more powerful than fewer large machines. It's what contributes to bitcoin's stability.
