I once tried to run a monero node and that's when I saw it had no chance of “winning”. Craaazy resource requirements, and that despite being used way less than Bitcoin. If it ever reached the same levels or its full capacity, decentralization would be interesting to keep.
Oh, and it already has 51% attacks and hard forks on a monthly basis.
