The team behind Shiba Inu recently took a swipe at Microsoft, one of the largest companies in the world, following the largest IT outage in history on Friday, July 19. Businesses worldwide were left grappling with a shutdown due to a glitch in Microsoft’s system, which occurred through CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity platform.
The outage affected critical sectors such as the London Stock Exchange, airlines, banks, and doctors’ offices. George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, assured that the problem has been identified and resolved. However, the incident shed light on the vulnerabilities of centralized cloud infrastructure, showcasing how major businesses and daily activities are at the mercy of a few centralized systems.
In contrast, decentralized systems like blockchain networks, such as the Shibarium network, were praised for their stability and reliability. The Shiba Inu team made a comparison between Windows and Shibarium on social media, highlighting the latter’s consistent performance even during high transaction volumes.
The post not only criticized Windows’ reliability issues but also served as a promotional message for the Shibarium network. With Shiba Inu trading at $0.00001787 and up by 4.5% in the past 24 hours, the comparison between centralized and decentralized systems has sparked discussions among cryptocurrency users.
Despite the widespread bank outages caused by the Microsoft crash, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continued to operate without interruption, with Bitcoin even surpassing the $66,000 mark during the incident. This further emphasizes the benefits of decentralized systems in ensuring uninterrupted operations in the face of technical glitches.
