Bitcoin is so resilient it could survive as much as 90% of the world's undersea cables failing simultaneously — study reveals Bitcoin could still be very vulnerable to targeted attacks, however

Cambridge scientists conducted a study on Bitcoin's resilience to network disruptions, finding that it could withstand up to 90% of undersea cables failing simultaneously. However, the study also highlighted Bitcoin's vulnerability to targeted attacks, with just five major routing domains capable of crippling the network. The research emphasized the importance of the Tor protocol in enhancing Bitcoin's infrastructure resilience. While the study's conclusions were positive for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, it underscored the increasing pressure on the networks supporting crypto due to recent disruptions in key regions.
