Wrong. Corporations own the most CPUs. The moment double spending Monero becomes more profitable than renting CPUs the network is gone.

that's assuming a lot. but you're correct that there's more CPU power in the hands of data centers and big corporations then there are among private citizens. but saying that it's easier somehow for a 3rd party to decide to focus all that to attack the monero network, but for some reason it's *harder for a 3rd party to attack known Bitcoin miners? (that are centralized and rely on cheap energy to survive) its trade-offs. personally I'm glad we have both.
Fwiw, this would make a person bullish on the new X9. Can you help me understand why the Monero community fought ASICs for so long?
