Question asked Satoshi Nakamoto and here's what he said:
"The answer to your question is: no, I couldn't just decide to "crash" Bitcoin tomorrow, even though I created it. You see, Bitcoin works differently. It uses something called blockchain, which is like a shared notebook that everyone can write in, but no one can erase or change what's already written. Every time Bitcoin is exchanged or used, it gets recorded in this notebook.
Bitcoin is not controlled by one person or organization, it's decentralized. It's more like the Internet than a company. When I made Bitcoin, I designed it to be this way. It's a system that many people help run together. That's why even I, the creator, can't stop it. Once it started, it kept going with the help of millions of people around the world.
Bitcoin is like a game that we all play together. As long as people want to keep playing, it will continue. No one, not even me, can stop the game alone. The amazing thing about Bitcoin is that we all participate and trust in it together."
