Counterparty Risk of alt-coin exchange = Counterparty Risk of bitcoin-only exchange

Are you saying there's no difference between the [Edit: chance] of a successful 51% attack occurring against Bitcoin versus the chance of one ocurring against other proof-of-work crypto coins?

I only had 0.64ltc there, not really a big loss for me if it decides to run away.
