I'm wondering if Bitcoin, this decentralized cryptocurrency, could ever be completely shut down. With its distributed ledger technology and no central authority controlling it, is it really possible to stop Bitcoin's operation?

Such an outage would need to be of unprecedented scale, shutting down all forms of communication and internet access worldwide.

If this were to occur, the nodes within the Bitcoin network would be unable to maintain contact with one another.
