hash rates are important but i'd say usage (tx/block) is just as important.

in theory BTC miners could group together to attack BSV (or BCH) but in practice they wouldn't do it because it's more profitable to let BSV flourish so they can switch over to hash on that chain when the day comes. meanwhile if they attack BSV they lose a ton of money (not earning BTC and also earning BSV instead which they are trying to destroy so not really earning anything).
so in reality you only need as much hashrate to block a single malicious actor who isn't interested in mining anything (someone hellbent on pouring money into destroying crypto).

that's why i say hashrate isn't everything, actual usage is just as important because that shows interest in the project and that it could have a future where it's being used.

BCH boys hanging out before the rift

Holy fucking shit. This guy is really Satoshi. I thought he was a literal con artist but he is actually a world class cryptography and security expert. Real certified crypto people have come out and said he's the guy. What the fuck. Why isn't anybody talking about this?

AVW: But hedidn't say in what way he was forced, did he? Or how, or why ...

JVP: I will say this much. If I were in his situation, I would have done as he did, though probably not even as well as he did.

AVW: Wright'sTwitter accountbio says Ian Grigg and yourself maintain it. Is that true?

JVP: Dr. Wright deleted his Twitter account for his own protection. A friend of his picked up the account as it came available to preserve it for him.

AVW: So Ian and yourself are currently controlling that Twitter account?

JVP: There may be others involved as well, but we are the ones that are taking the bullets.

AVW: How well do you actually know Wright? You speak like you know him very well, but you just met him at a conference once, didn't you?

JVP: I met him at a conference in 2005, he wore the moniker. We discussed what became Bitcoin at great length. He knew all there was to know about Bitcoin in 2005, and he shared it with me. I did not learn his government-registered name until much later.
