The one big upside to this is that if the entity is successful at 51% attacking Monero, they either have to block all transactions or they have to let all transactions through. They can't censor specific transactions since they don't know the receiver, the sender, or the amount.

If they block all transactions, that increases the amount of transactions in the memory pool and increases the likelihood that people will turn on miners to other pools in order to mine those transactions and get those fees. #Monero
