Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Some websites can be remarkably bipolar in their reporting  Cheesy

The US Senate has already tried to stop Bitcoin, in the form of a spearhead attack by Senator Schumer. He's a very influential senator for those who don't know. He tried. He failed. It really feels like Bloomberg contributors get more clueless by the day.
