JUST IN: 🚨 Bitcoin is now at risk of a 51% attack as two mining pools control over 51% of the hash power.
🚨 Bitcoin Faces Centralization Risk! 🚨
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, is built on decentralization. But right now, that principle is under threat. Two major mining pools have recently gained control of over 51% of Bitcoin’s total hash power—a level that puts the network at risk of a 51% attack.
In simple terms, if one group controls more than half of the mining power, they could manipulate transactions, double-spend coins, and block confirmations. While launching such an attack is costly and could damage trust in Bitcoin, the mere possibility raises serious concerns about network security and decentralization.
Historically, Bitcoin’s resilience comes from its wide distribution of miners worldwide. However, with rising energy costs and concentration of mining in large pools, the network’s power balance is shifting.
Investors and developers are now watching closely—because if trust in Bitcoin’s security wavers, its value could face massive pressure.
⚡ Decentralization is Bitcoin’s backbone—without it, the future looks shaky.
