It isn't impossible to kill Bitcoin. There is a large number of methods that a Bitcoin Attack could happen. If the Governor knew anything about electronics then the Governor would see that Bitcoin could get taken out.
Bitcoin could get broken if the Grid went out. Nobody wanted to say the obvious that it could get broken, they must be really scared of fiat to lie to the public like that. The Chinese Governor should research technology a bit more before opening his mouth.
Switching of is not a option if you have any clue about tach.
Even if a country is completely switched off , the network will not fail , people wallets and will be safe.
Ive seen this when the optic fiber of Suriname broke in 2012 , the country was off internet for a whole week , but bitcoin was not effected , they could only not be accessed from Suriname , but did not effect the funds and the network...
the second point a agree , China does not want to stop bitcoin , all fiat will fail pretty soon , if that happens a NEUTRAL (true gold standard) replacement must be in place , to avoid a 3rd world war , this is IMO why most countries let bitcoin happen and develop.
Physical gold marked it to tainted these days.
the numer of btcs is known by everyone and that makes it a better standard as gold.
