Whenever Bitcoin trembles, the same questions arise. Every downturn awakens the same ghosts. And among them all, one looms larger than the rest: the dreaded 51% attack. But let's pause for a moment.
If a 51% attack on Bitcoin were actually happening, we wouldn't simply be talking about a red candle or a market correction. We would be witnessing one of the most significant technological and financial events in modern history.
The reality is that, so far, there is no public evidence that $BTC is under a 51% attack. What does exist is fear, speculation, and misinformation.
The #Bitcoin network is protected by immense computing power, distributed among thousands of miners around the world. To control more than 50% of that capacity, an actor would need colossal financial resources and industrial infrastructure, and would have to bear such absurd costs that they would likely eliminate any incentive to carry out the attack.
