In theory yes, but in practice the people most involved (holding large stakes) would pull out of the system en masse, crashing the value and (probably) the whole network with it. Same with BTC. In theory anyway.

What if those people had more to lose by pulling out than pretending nothing happened as long as the 51% attacker does not abuse it "too much"?
