51% attack on Ethereum more difficult than on Bitcoin — Justin Drake

Ethereum Merge architect Justin Drake told Cointelegraph that he believes it would be cheaper to launch a 51% attack on Bitcoin than on Ethereum. Drake said it would be “much cheaper to 51% attack Bitcoin” and that it would cost “on the order of $10 billion. ”Drake led work on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) implementation and was a principal architect in the Merge (the full PoS transition event). His remarks echo a May 14 X post by Grant Hummer, the co-founder of Ethereum-focused marketing and product company Etherealize source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-proponent-claims-bitcoin-is-screwed-a-51-attack-likely?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
