when such gaints can run into a problem, what makes you think they can't be shut down ?

and they want to create a better cryptocurrency digital coin than Bitcoin.
I noticed it on Instagram but I thought the problem was my phone.
In general, there is no perfect system but Bitcoin provides much better solutions than what the central companies offer.

ha ha exactly, suppose you need to send urgent money but your bank or payment processor has this kind of stupidity

I do agree with that bitcoin has no such problem (ie. Downtime) but if you remember the 2017 then you would realize that it is not without cons. In late 2017, Bitcoin transfer fees were sky high like $30 for transfers, that's crazy. Thankfully, it's solved now due to LN.

The market at present in comparison to its market by 2017 seems to be the down time, it is a cyclic process and bitcoin isn't an exception to it. Bitcoin network at times have experienced congestion with delay in transactions when large volume of transactions get stuck to the network. In such a way there is some issue with the server and that seems to be the reason for the downtime of FB, Insta and whatsapp which were the leading social media networks.

Just right now I am experiencing a problem with my facebook account. I cannot make posts and when I checked the reason why, FB said they are making a maintenance check up on my account. Its been more than 3 hours already and still not ok till now. Well, bitcoin may not be as strong as it used to a year ago in value but still kicking, surviving and believed to be returning back in its height soon.

I agree with what you say for bitcoin.
bitcoin still survives and continues to try to grow even though corrections always occur.
and for Facebook problems, I don't think I have a problem with that

In this aspect, I think bitcoin can be better compared with banks as they are playing same role as financial payment system. Banks can go blank either because of system shut down for maintenance etc and they are centralized, thus can distraught certain activities but bitcoin isn't that way, it is decentralized and not affected.

Why are comparing these two things together I am not able to understand that? What you are worrying is social platform with the decentralized cryptocurrencies. If you want to compare with bitcoin you may choose the XRP or Tether that may at least sensible to compare mate.

These companies relay on profit with the share market trending but cryptocurrencies are bumping up with the demand and supply.

[cizatext]

There is no development that is exceptional from facing technical problems, I wonder why some fork's always complain of any problem being faced by bitcoin and to even see Facebook attacking bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies make it even clearer that they don't understand what cryptocurrency is all about. Facebook WhatsApp and the rest should apologize for their misdeeds in blocking crypto ads on they platform.

The government will do everything to keep these platforms up because of all the data they receive in return.  Facebook isn't going to be shutdown, that privacy hearing was just a show for the general public.  Its difficult for anyone to even compete with facebook because they generally just get bought out.

Bitcoin is just as reliant on Bitmain as Facebook are on their servers, we're lucky that there's been no disaster with the monopoly of mining.

I beg to differ. Bitmain may have the majority of the hashing power of the whole network,

i beg to differ and differ
bitmain doesnt have majority.
also the pools like antpool are actually not managed by bitmain.
just check out the blocks solved by 'antpool'. you will notice a pattern of atleast half a dozen block reward addresses and each have their own settings
meaning its not one entity but half a dozen different entities of different management. where by some prefer 'empty blocks' some prefer to include segwit, some dont. which shows they are not managed by the same biased management.

also bitcoin do not manufacture the chips TSMC do.
so its worth researching more and script reading reddit FUD less

i know alot of people just want things to go back to GPU mining. but the hypocracy of that is that then people will cry how AMD-ATI thn own GPU mining

but anyway.. th point i was gonna make is
the pools are geolocated in half a dozen countries just for the ones tagged as "antpool", and managed by different people
at very best the analogy is that antpool is just a franchise licence brand owner. that allows franchisee's around the world to set up their own farm and get cheaper supplies by tagging their hashrate as antpool

It is very hard to understand what you are saying truely. I couldn't figure out what you said about social media. Comparing Whatsapp and Bitcoin didn't seem right to me.

maybe he mentioned the Facebook plan to make crypto itself, but it really didn't have the relevance of comparing two different technologies.
in fact this is only a Facebook internal problem.

[bitzizzix]

I also had a problem yesterday with WhatsApp, the problem was i can't send photos, but for me the chat works, but yes bitcoin always is online even if there some miners who stop mining, there are a lot of pools who still mine.

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are social networking applications for communication and news or other, and bitcoin only requires an internet network to stay online.
so as long as the internet network exists or is connected all three have nothing to do with bitcoin.

This is just like a maintenance on big exchange so I think it will not ne shut down for good. But of course, bitcoin will live longer but it doesn’t mean that we will not encounter any problem, i guess what’s happening on facebook is normal since many companies wants to kill facebook but I know it will be back better.

Indeed, these three media have no direct connection with bitcoin. But, if there's no connection with bitcoin, then how do you market bitcoin to the public, because as far as I know Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are the most active and effective media, especially in terms of marketing. So, their existence's certainly very influential on the development of other bitcoin and crypto.

I don't see any reason why you are comparing these social media platform to a blockchain currency project. The difference are clear. Moreover this same social media platform are own by the same person. Or tell me why is twitter not also down?. Bitcoin is strong we all know but these social media platforms are among the machines we be needing to make bitcoin more stronger by spreading it potentials to the mass.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

the incident that happened some time ago has indeed been questioned about the quality of the company owned by the mark. bitcoin has been on a reliable network, maybe only the confirmation time has experienced a delay, but that can be avoided by using a fee for customs transactions.

[Teawhalee]

This kind of occurrence will make us appreciate the power of blockchain technology and decentralization. There is a huge difference between this two. This is one of the reasons why the gaint social platforms will consider incorporating the blockhain technology into their system.

[finaleshot2016]

There are huge differences between a social media platform to a digital currency. Don't compare those because it has a different function and users. Social media platforms are being down because of massive users in servers, there's a lot of big data in a platform so they're having maintenance to fix or allocate those data. A digital currency like bitcoin is a cryptocurrency where the transaction depends on the blockchain, it's a powerful advanced technology, you should know what blockchain is.

That's right. At the time of social media down yesterday I did not at all think I had to compare it to bitcoin because it was clearly different and what you said was the reason, but there are still people who compare things like this that are clearly different social media platforms and blockchain technology which must be there are maintenance on every social media server like that and even this forum has also experienced server down like them. So, that is not something that can be compared to bitcoin.

Bitcoin no doubt is stronger than facebook, twitter, whatsapp. This great technology is indeed a great one created to withstand anything and despite the price being down for now, bitcoin continues to grow in strength.

You are right, bitcoin is very strong, except compared to all three, bitcoin is still losing in terms of people who know and use it and if people who know and use bitcoin are the same as FB, Instagram and WA, then bitcoin will be unparalleled and I hope it will happen The next 5-10 years
