Cambridge study reveals that 72-92% of submarine fiber optic cables must be cut simultaneously to significantly disrupt the Bitcoin network

The study indicates that random failures would require 72% to 92% of submarine cables to be affected simultaneously to impact node connectivity significantly.

In over 87% of cable failures analyzed, the effect on Bitcoin nodes was less than 5%, demonstrating the network’s robustness.

The Bitcoin community is evolving to build a more censorship-resistant infrastructure, enhancing resilience against targeted attacks.
