If the bitcoin p2p network is partitioned sufficiently long enough two parallel and possible incompatible transaction histories can occur. This is a problem that if ever occurs will be a huge problem. Source: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6688704 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6688704
Additional research if this problem is a real threat and if there are any safegaurds currently in place.
A distributed blockchain would not suffer from this problem.
Enough explanation of bitcoin and not relevant.
