Can Bitcoin Ever Be Shutdown?

[malbterxic]

   The surest way to kill BTC is to turn off electricity, of course I myself have bitcoin and earn it on trade. But if the entire planet to turn off the electricity, then the planet will be much cleaner and it's good.

Of course there is a way to shut down bitcoin, you would either have to shut down electricity in the entire world so people would no longer be able to power their devices in which they store bitcoins or you would have to shut down internet, meaning there would be no way to access the internet and get to their coins. Either these two things are done or bitcoin will always remain.

The blockchain is a living thing and it would take many years to bring the network down.

Yeah, there is a possibility to shut down bitcoin but will takes a lot of time and will really require cooperation of all countries.

no I can't not believe it that bitcoin will shutdown this month.bitcoin goes through a dull narrow street which is scrared us.but a few days in bitcoin will regain its orginal position. so it is not worry of thinking.

I was just wondering, what would it take for the Bitcoin Network to be shutdown completely?

No bitcoin will never to be shutdown don't worry tomorrow or the next day bitcoin will pump up and up just stay relax

If all the government would decide to ban (which is unlikely to happen) the use of the internet then it would die because we need the internet to access bitcoin. I think shutting down bitcoin would never happen because for the simple reason of a lot of people are benefiting from it.

if the bitcoin network collapse or internet in the  world down i think bitcoin can be shut down, and of course the holder of bitcoin will be panic and wait until the bitcoin up again, and of course if it happen again the price of bitcoin will goindg down and down again because the holder dont want to hold bitcoin again

Bitcoin cannot be shut down. There are only reasons why bitcoin will end if there is no internet connection which is impossible to happen, second there will be no investors that are willing to spend their money on bitcoin. And lastly if bitcoin will restrict by all the countries and governments inside our globe which is impossible to happen.

[Mumbeeptind1963]

if internet in the world shutdown i think all of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will shutdown too, not only the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but all thing that connected with internet, like website and internet banking and all of thing the world that use internet as their main connection

We can't deny the fact that everything has its own ending. Bitcoin can only be shutdown if it will be forced to do it. But I think it will never be stop because it is functioning and being used by many. The only way to shutdown bitcoin is stopping the process of internet since we all know that bitcoin is operating through it.

when the world has no power source and no internet network access, that's when bitcoin can not grow and die. on the contrary as long as there is electricity and internet, then as long as that bitcoin exists.

Exactly everything has some system but it is not good to be at the ending point because bitcoin has a lot of benefit and it will never end at all, money making with bitcoin is very easy so no need to stop it or shut it down, market if bitcoin is all about the investors so they are not going to shut down the bitcoin as currency and as saving, benefits of bitcoin is day by day increasing which is making bitcoin more stronger gradually so hopefully bitcoin will never get shutdown in my country.

[arteezyy]

I personally thunk that bitcoin cannot be shutdown, there's almost a negligible chance of bitcoin reaching its lowest value but it wouldn't ever shutdown because there are still many new investors, and many big shot companies that are thinking of using bitcoin as their payment for many negotiations that occur in their company. So my answer is that the value may decrease to its lowest but it will not disappear in the future.

A total shutdown or close of Bitcoin network seems quite not practicable. Bitcoin has come far that it has created a revolutionized and decentralized payment method where transactions are run under secured, fast, and smooth platform. Its uniqueness surpasses the old traditional payment systems. Bitcoin has come to stay as it attracts more people each day to its patronage. Perhaps, it will end when the last man dies.

If we turn our desire and make it against bitcoin. All the government of the world turn their eyes against bitcoin. Every business in the world banned bitcoin. Every people do not wants bitcoin. Every os of bitcoin system will be erase. Then possible the total shutdown will come.

  so The "IF" happens as hardly as people hark blockchain.

BTC is loved almost because of its secure. So if it was hacked, maybe it will be shut down.

[Mariela]

What do you mean shutting down?
Banning of bitcoin in all places?
Or no electricity world wide?
Well only internet connection can stopped the operation of btc.
But of banning of btc is very hard to do.
Because like you or we .. As long as there are people who uses of it.. Bitcoin still exist.

[ronsaldo]

no bitcoin well be spread in the world bitcoin will never erase in the name of crypto bitcoin is the biggening bitcoin will bigget but never shoutdown.

[Olega252]

Bitcoin is not that easy to stop, now ordinary people who have earned a little money and who have subscribers in social networks of 100,000 are manipulating the crypto currency, these people are dropping the rate where they want

as long internet and electricity still alive,no one can shutdown bitcoin.
and as long as people still believe in it,bitcoin circulation will kepp exist.

[Jazvebtc18]

Well, no electricity, and no internet connection would kill BTC for sure! You wouldn't be able to make any transactions without these.
Other issue can be all the countries in the world ban BTC, but this will not restrict it's circulation, as no internet connection do!

Definitely I agree with you.  It can only be shutdown if we will go back in the old days that there is no internet, no computers and no network.  In that way, cannot  transact money online and we can't get online job that pays bitcoin. And also it is true that if all government can ban bitcoin and they will no longer accept it.

But that reasons is very impossible. We are in a high technology generation. Internet connection is a kind of need to us. We want easy things to do. So it is really impossible to shutdown bitcoin.

[Vendetta666]

The bitcoin never been shutdown. Until the electricity or technology will never end, bitcoin cannot end too. And it will be our current money in the future. I wish.
It is impossible to shutdown. Bitcoin now is well known.
