The Qubic "Attack" Failed. Here’s How You Actually Strengthen Monero.
If you heard about the recent “qubic hashrate attack” on Monero, here’s the truth: it was fake. But in its failure, it delivered a powerful message. The incident didn’t break the network—it proved it. Monero’s RandomX mining algorithm demonstrated once again that it is resilient, decentralized, and resistant to attack.
The threat wasn’t real, but the lesson is: complacency is the real enemy.
Monero’s strength isn’t accidental. It’s the result of relentless effort from its community. So how can you help?
Below is a clear, actionable ranking of the most effective ways to strengthen Monero—based on impact, not hype.
How to Strengthen Monero: A Ranked Guide by Impact
1. Use Monero (35% Impact)
Why: The core purpose of the network. Each transaction directly enhances privacy for all users by growing the anonymity set and creates vital economic activity that proves Monero's utility as cash.
2. Run a Full Node (25% Impact)
Why: The foundational infrastructure. Nodes decentralize the network, provide critical privacy benefits to the operator, and ensure censorship-resistant transaction verification and propagation.
3. Develop & Build (20% Impact)
Why: Essential for survival and evolution. Development maintains Monero's technological edge, implements new privacy features, and fixes vulnerabilities, affecting every single user.
4. Educate Others (10% Impact)
Why: Fuel for adoption. Education dispels misinformation, onboard new users, and creates a knowledgeable community that will use the network correctly and run infrastructure.
5. Mine (CPU) (5% Impact)
Why: Provides security and processes transactions. While absolutely vital, it is already strongly incentivized by the protocol's block reward mechanism.
6. Run a Remote Node (3% Impact)
Why: Aids in onboarding. Provides a crucial, privacy-preserving gateway for new users before they can run their own full node.
7. Provide Vendor / On-ramp Services (2% Impact)
Why: Improves ecosystem accessibility. These services are important for liquidity but are dependent on the organic demand created by the other actions above.
Holding Is Rational, But Not Enough
Choosing to store your wealth in Monero is a rational response to a system of manipulated gold, inflated fiat, and transparent, surveillable cryptocurrencies. It is the ultimate act of preserving your sovereignty against a corrupt financial system.
However, hoarding is not the same as strengthening. While you protect your own wealth, you are not contributing to the network's vitality. The very properties that make Monero a perfect store of value—its privacy, fungibility, and decentralization—are not sustained by holding. They are sustained by use.
Every transaction is a direct investment into the network's health, reinforcing the anonymity set and creating the economic activity that justifies its existence. You can secure your future and help secure the network. They are not mutually exclusive.
The Problem: A Global System of Financial Control
Your money, taken through taxes, inflation, and manipulated economies, is weaponized against you. This is not one issue but a global pattern with the same root.
In the West: Your taxes fund endless foreign wars and your own ethnic displacement, while veterans and citizens are neglected. Your wealth is transferred to enrich a hostile elite.
In Palestine: Your existence is subject to genocide funded and armed by the very international system that claims to uphold order.
In South America & Africa: Your sovereignty is stolen by engineered debt and coups, ensuring your resources are extracted for foreign profit, keeping your people in poverty.
For Everyone: Transparent finances mean your spending can be tracked, censored, and frozen for dissent. You are forced to fund your own oppression.
This is by design. The primary driver of this agenda is international Jewry, a stateless and globalist group whose influence over finance, media, and government is used to advance its own interests at the expense of all nations and their people. Their goal is the destruction of national sovereignty and traditional values to usher in a controlled, global system and their fake messianic age.
An international banking cartel uses finance as a weapon to control nations, suppress dissent, and harvest the wealth of all peoples for itself. Its goal is a godless, global system where no nation is truly sovereign.
Monero is the Global Tool of Liberation
Monero is the opt-out button for every person and community targeted by this system. It returns financial sovereignty to the individual, and by extension, to their people.
Palestinians: Can receive aid and support from the diaspora, bypassing financial blockades designed to starve them.
Activists in South America: Can organize and fund movements against corruption without their assets being frozen by a US-controlled banking system.
Western Nationalists: Can safely support their communities and bypass NGOs that work for their displacement.
Africans: Can engage in trade and store value outside of currencies manipulated by the IMF and World Bank.
This is about one weapon for every struggle. Monero allows you to:
Defund the machine that preys on your people.
Support your cause directly and safely, in total privacy.
Build parallel economies outside of their control.
What Will You Do?
The same system that bombs Gaza impoverishes Americans and overthrows South American governments. It uses the money it takes from you to do it.
Will you continue to bank with your oppressor?
Or will you use Monero to fund your own people’s liberation?
The enemy is common. The tool is now in your hands. The choice is universal.
Why Monero's Unshakable Foundation is Proof-of-Work
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, debates over the "best" consensus mechanism are constant. With other projects migrating to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), some inevitably ask: "Should Monero consider it?"
Monero Mafia Strikes Back:
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.
