The US government could spend trillions to surreptitiously manufacture extremely specialized equipment without anyone knowing, turn it on to do a 51% attack, and when it’s over the network will just fork and reverse the transactions. It’s illogical
I think it's fair to say that western cryptologic agencies could likely repurpose hardware, perhaps to a degree unknown in the public space.
delusional to think, the western governments can't attack the forked version too.
Also, who decides which transactions to reverse? and why would an entity with 51% power agree to that?
No one in crypto has thought through this
Yep you’re the first person to ever consider this - tell the world!
