📊 An 11-year study on Bitcoin network resilience shows it remains highly robust even during major submarine cable failures.


Analyzing data from 2014–2025 and 68 verified cable faults, researchers found:
Random failures would require 72–92% of inter-country connections to break before major node disconnections occur.
Even targeted attacks would need 5–20% of key connections disrupted.
Tor usage further strengthens resilience due to relay bandwidth in highly connected regions.
Result: 87% of historical cable faults impacted less than 5% of Bitcoin nodes. 🚀
