🚨 Bitcoin at Risk of 51%
📊 Two mining groups have controlled more than 51% of the hash power on network #Bitcoin , raising concerns about the possibility of a so-called 51% attack.
🔎 What is a 51% attack?
When one or more entities control more than half of the mining power, they can theoretically:
⏸️ Stop or delay transactions.
🔁 Rewrite some blocks and reverse certain transactions (double spending).
⚠️ Temporarily affect the security of the network.
💡 However:
Conducting an actual attack is very costly and impractical in the long run.
Miners usually seek to achieve continuous profits, not to destroy the network that their income depends on.
📌 Therefore, although the risk is theoretical and limited, it highlights the need to diversify mining power and avoid centralization.
