The Bitcoin network has been functional for 99.99999 % not 100%. There was a bug that was fix-it by satoshi. But most people consider this event as a downtime.

Some people consider the "Accidental Hardfork" downtime too.

And compare that to typical internet banking uptime; 2 outages in 10 years, and now up for 5 years and counting is an unbeatable record


someday we'll have p2p mesh networks and won't have to worry about the centralized internet infrastructure going down. but that's decades away....

Some people are already on a meshnet Wink
