No, this would be better if the headline where IT outage shows the dangers of centralized systems because that would be more accurate. The monero network kept chugging along all day with no problems.

True, but if internet connection for some reason crashes in some part of the world you still can't use crypto there, so cash is still not useless (and probably shouldn't ever be).
