Would there be any profit from shorting and destroying the network though? If you suddenly control the ledger and you can set balances to whatever you want, your trading firm might connect your position to you, freeze your accounts, and sue you or something
I think the real motivation for an attack would be to protect the dollar, but if you take down #2 you'd only make #1 stronger, and so 67x market cap ends up being proportional enough for 580,000x more hash
