>Another day, another answer to "what is Bitcoin good for?". I've occasionally seen Bitcoin outages of up to an hour or so, though.

Welp, I'll admit it when I'm wrong. Tell me more!



They're probably just referring to the (historically decreasing) variance in time between blocks, nominally 10 minutes. Not an outage by any stretch but occasionally annoying. It's smoother in higher frequency blockchains.

Right, that's what I meant.
