[2015-04-20] Medium: Bitcoin is Bigger than Google

[LiteCoinGuy]

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.

"becoming large enough"  =  What?
I thought we passed that point long ago?

Here is more:



"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.

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.

In sense of computational power many projects are bigger than google.
