I don't get this, how do you defend something decentralised?

The network is basically multiple copies of itself being run on multiple machines throughout the world. You can hack one machine, but the rest of the machines carry on as normal and they will not bring down the network. Hacking one machine does nothing to the network itself either, since multiple components that exist in many copies of each other are propagating the rest of the network.

+1 the fact that its decentralised, is a big part of what makes it secure.

maybe that hacker can do is breaking into many purses then sell millions of bitcoin at a cheap price. maybe it can be done by hackers and make bitcoin collapse
