    No, that is not correct. Global outage shows the dangers of centralized systems would be a better headline. Monero Worked all day throughout the entire outage with no problems.

      Define “worked” in this context. You mean their own infrastructure didn’t crash? You certainly didn’t pop down to the store and buying anything useful with Monero 😂

        Not that day I didn’t, but I have bought Domino’s several times this month, and I bought my groceries at the beginning of the month.

      Even central currencies can work if you can make offline and peer to peer payments.

      Not easy to pull off cryptographically, though.

        True, but do you really expect them to let you use a central bank digital currency peer-to-peer and not have some way of revoking your access to it? If so, you’re absolutely nuts, LOL.

      That is not correct, either. The outage even took out decentralized platforms.
