The Monero community has done it again. This time? Taking down paid hit pieces from mainstream crypto media that falsely accused Monero of a "51% attack" — a blatant disinformation campaign funded by Q*bic.
The Smear Campaign
Over the past week, articles from CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, and others suddenly appeared, claiming Monero suffered a "selfish mining" attack orchestrated by Q*bic. The problem? The claims were nonsense—and the links mysteriously 404’d shortly after.
Turns out, Q*bic paid for these placements as part of a coordinated FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) campaign. How do we know? Screenshots, receipts, and insider leaks confirm that journalists and influencers were compensated to push this narrative.
Monero Bros Fight Back
The XMR community didn’t just debunk the lies—they took action. Within hours:
Links to the fake articles went dead (404’d).
Social media exposed the paid shills behind the propaganda.
Independent researchers tore apart Q*bic’s flawed "evidence."
This isn’t the first time Monero has faced dirty tactics from competitors. But as always, decentralized truth wins.
Why Q*bic is Scared of Monero
Monero’s untraceable transactions and anti-censorship design threaten centralized projects like Q*bic, which rely on VC funding and shady marketing. Instead of competing fairly, they resort to paid lies—and the crypto world isn’t fooled.
The Takeaway
Monero cannot be 51% attacked (its PoW algorithm makes it economically unfeasible).
Q*bic’s desperation shows—they’d rather buy fake news than build better tech.
The Monero Mafia always wins.
Stay private. Stay sovereign. And always verify before trusting "mainstream" crypto news.
