yep, there are distinctions to be drawn here between the behavior of different coins, and chains
Also, a 51% attack isn't quite as simple as just acquiring control over 51% of the hashrate ... there are still some hurdles, quite risky ones sometimes; an attacker could lose a *lot* of their assets attempting an attack on a proof-of-stake coin
But yeah, her overall point -- the volatility of merging crypto assets, Cronenbergian-Fly-like, with regular assets -- is on point
