bitcoin fails the moment a monopoly forms in mining; we call it a 51% attack

How long of a 51% attack would need to be sustained ?

bitcoin as a protocol is transparent enough to let anyone openly audit the system

Why and

What are the chances?

I disagree. The incentives drive miners to have a modicum of integrity.

Besides, weโ€™ve seen 51% accumulation on mining before and bitcoin has survived them all.

We re already there

Only if the attack is actually executed.

Although I dont follow Antonopoulus since he mastered Ethereum maybe this helps
