“SHA-256 is very strong. It's not like the incremental step from MD5 to SHA1. It can last several decades unless there's some massive breakthrough attack.
If SHA-256 became completely broken, I think we could come to some agreement about what the honest block chain was before the trouble started, lock that in and continue from there with a new hash function.
In our case the attacker was from inside

So apparently…the Bitcoin network is on hold until 1st September. I had to pay rent and some bills, but I’m going to have to tell the landlord to wait until the Bitcoin Network is back up and running again…this is so tragic!!

If the Bitcoin network halted for even a single day, it would be the death of the network. Its proposition of being the most robust network mankind has ever seen will be turned to ash and it would literally be just another fiat.

So sad to see a grown man break down like this, and for people to be egging him on…
