Recent data shows that the two major mining pools, Foundry USA and AntPool, currently control over 51% of the Bitcoin network's mining computing power, raising deep concerns within the community about the centralization of the Bitcoin network. This theoretically opens the door to the possibility of a 51% Attack, which could manipulate transaction validation and carry out double spending attacks, thereby undermining the integrity of the network. Although the cost of executing such an attack is extremely high and lacks economic incentive, the current situation of highly concentrated computing power has shaken the foundation of Bitcoin's decentralization and exerted pressure on market sentiment.
