...Bitcoin is vulnerable to 51% attacks and transactions being rolled back. The economic incentives just haven’t aligned yet. It still damages Bitcoin’s value proposition, and that of the technology as a whole, to disrupt the network’s perceived immutability, and actors capable of such an action have some of the most to lose. That explains why Binance’s public musings on rolling back transactions to stop a theft were not put into practice. However, someday, the incentives will line up, either by force from an outside coercive actor, or when the immense benefit of tampering with a transaction or two outweighs the perceived harm in a particular circumstance.
