How much to spare depends on how much they could gain from an all out attack. Just wondering how much work is actually behind bitcoin today

I actually totally misunderstood how this all works. Even if a provider successfully did a 51% attack, they'd have to sustain it (keep mining blocks) to double spend. So it's financially infeasible. And validation nodes are super cheap to run, so rules cannot be broken. Bitcoin is so resilient and well designed, wow
