I'm wondering about the impact on Bitcoin in case of a power outage. Will it affect the transactions or the value of Bitcoin in any way? What are the possible consequences?
Such an outage, on a scale never seen before, would shut down all forms of communication and internet connectivity worldwide.

In truly exceptional circumstances, the demise of Bitcoin as we understand it today is a distant possibility.

BTCC, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, offers a range of services that include spot, futures, and wallet solutions, among others. Despite the robustness of such platforms, they would also be impacted by such a widespread outage.

This would mean that nodes within the Bitcoin network would be unable to communicate with each other.
