Fact-Check Results:

The Bitcoin network launched on January 3, 2009, and has never been shut down, reset, or bailed out. However, it did experience two brief downtimes: once in 2010 (8 hours, 27 minutes) and again in 2013 (6 hours, 20 minutes). Since 2013, the network has run continuously without interruption.

You can verify this by checking Bitcoin's historical uptime records on blockchain explorers or reliability trackers like BitBo.
