I’ve heard so many interesting takes on this and haven’t really come to a conclusion.

I’m interested to hear your opinion.

And the question is…

Is it possible to stop bitcoin at this point?

Yes or no. Why or why not.

Stop? Probably not.

Captured and surveilled to hell? Absolutely.

Good question. Would you mind defining what you mean by *stop*? Are you referring to network growth? Network adoption? Mining?

This is a 3 days talk.

First, what's stop? Stop what exactly?

The answer is no anyway.

Hahaha I know I just always have clients asking whether or not it can be stopped.

And even though I believe the answer is no … they obviously don’t accept that as the answer

So I’m just trying to gather some info and blend it into a solid response.

Just ask them why, after 13 years of attacks and "banning" by haters, media, banks, central banks, governments, most powerful people, world powers and everyone else, it's still here...

If you look at it through the biological lens Bitcoin behaves like a fungi. It grew organically from the beginning and decentralised itself. It is an organism and to stop that organism you would need coordinated efforts all over the planet. And even that wouldn’t kill it. It would still produce a block every 10 minutes because somewhere someone still mines.
