When it comes to the 51% attack, it's a serious concern, but fortunately, the Bitcoin network has robust defenses in place to prevent such attacks. The sheer amount of computing power and resources required to control over 50% of the network makes it highly unlikely, if not practically impossible, for anyone to successfully execute a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network.
