Cambridge study: 72-92% of submarine fiber optic cables would need to be cut simultaneously to significantly impact the Bitcoin network.

CoinFeed reported on March 14th that, according to CoinDesk, a study released by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) shows that the Bitcoin network's resilience to physical infrastructure disruptions is far greater than previously expected. The study, based on 11 years of network data and an analysis of 68 verified submarine cable failures, found that for random failures, between 72% and 92% of transnational submarine cables would need to be interrupted simultaneously to significantly impact Bitcoin node connectivity. The study also indicated that in over 87% of the 68 real-world submarine cable failures analyzed, the impact on nodes was less than 5%.
