A 51 percent attack is a fictitious scenario in which more than half of a blockchain network’s nodes are controlled by a single party.

The bitcoin network is a peer-to-peer payment network that operates on a cryptographic protocol. Users send and receive bitcoins, the units of currency, by broadcasting digitally signed messages to the network using bitcoin cryptocurrency wallet software. Transactions are recorded into a distributed, replicated public database known as the blockchain, with consensus achieved by a proof-of-work system called mining. Satoshi Nakamoto, the designer of bitcoin, claimed that design and coding of bitcoin began
Bitcoin (₿) is a decentralized digital currency that does not have a central bank or a single administrator and may be transmitted from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the use of middlemen.
