⚡️🔎 NEW - « A 51% attack on Bitcoin could cost "only" around $10 billion. »
That's according to Ethereum researcher Justin Drake, who states in an interview that an attack against Bitcoin would be far less costly than against Ethereum, which would currently cost around $44.8 billion.
As a reminder, a 51% attack occurs when a single entity or group controls more than 50% of the mining or staking power of a blockchain network, thereby gaining total control of the network.
