On Friday, CrowdStrike, a major cybersecurity firm, experienced a significant outage that disrupted services and impacted numerous clients. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities inherent in centralized systems. As the tech world grapples with outages like CrowdStrike’s, Bitcoin continues to stand out in the decentralized world for its reliability and strength. 🔗 Why Decentralization Matters: •Resilience: Decentralized systems like Bitcoin are less prone to single points of failure. •Security: No central authority means reduced risk of widespread disruption. •Trust: Bitcoin’s strong performance reinforces trust in decentralized technologies.
