Bitcoinist - HSBC Online Banking Outage Showcases Bitcoin Network Strength

Tue Jan 05, 2016 5:16 pm

Earlier today, the entire online banking platform of popular institution HSBC became inaccessible, leaving millions of customers without access to their finances in an online manner. While technical issues can happen at any time, it is the second time in as many days this type of event has transpired. The Bitcoin network, powered by blockchain technology, has never gone down in its near seven years of existence.

To top it off, HSBC juiced me a $30K deposit for an account about 7 years ago and I have perfect credit! Bastards!!!!!!!!!!!

Long live the blockchain, technology and people with vision :)
