... Once people realize that the Achilles heel in bitcoin is real, they'll permanently mark it with a negative stigma.

The people for whom this is true stigmatize crypto-currency already; a 51% attack on BTC would not change many opinions, pro or con.

Wow, I feel much better now. I can't wait for the pool operators to become the dirty dozen and begin "imposing solutions" on Bitcoin. Time to go all in. o_O

The total computing power of the NSA and its Five Eyes friends could take BTC down at will, the total BTC market cap is about 25% of Exxon's annual take and you guys are worried about GHash hitting 51%. Huh

I didn't realize Exxon was mining now.
