That level of control could’ve meant potential transaction censorship or worse.

The move wasn’t hidden, but it was a deliberate move to emphasize the fact that power can buy control.

Just in case what happened is not clear to you, a few days ago, Monero faced a real threat: a near-51% attack from Qubic, a mining group led by Sergey Ivancheglo.

At its peak, Qubic controlled around 40% of Monero’s hash rate, briefly making it the largest pool.

Monero is considered one of crypto's last privacy monasteries.

However, even Monero isn’t immune, not because the tech failed, but because the underlying incentives can be manipulated. If Monero can be pushed this close, it puts the whole privacy stack on shaky ground.
