I have no idea what the scenario might be? Things "break" all the time. Are there specific individuals we rely on or who have lead the way in past disasters?
Depends who you ask, but those that mainly take care about the underlying network that keeps bitcoin working are volunteers
(or not? see franky1's comment below).# those that write the software that defines what bitcoin is
# those that run servers on behalf of the network
# those that run small and large mining operations
I understand we all participate. To clarify I know there are very specific people we can & do rely on for TOR. I could 'drop' screen names or real names. But those familiar with TOR know what I mean. Incase of "bitcoin" emergency - who?
Can you name a single Tor server operator by name? You might be refering to some of the known Tor devs (see e.g. recent press). The equivalent would be the more known bitcoin devs.
Who are some of the smartest people in this Coin right now? I am interested in Mining, Technology;Advancements or Investing. Of course this is an opinion. Though there must be some common individuals/screennames.
