And if you want to contest ownership there's no one to invade, no one to attack; the best you can do is make a fleet and try to mine

No one except for the owners of major BTC mining operations.

If a state actor, such as China, was motivated enough to identify, capture and coerce these miners it would be pretty easy to perform a 51% attack given that China accounts for around 65% of all bitcoin mining globally.
