When Blockchains Attack: Qubic Sets Sights on Dogecoin 🐶🔥

by

Once upon a time, in the land of blockchain-an odd place where people pretend to understand what “hashing power” means-Qubic, an AI-driven project with more ambition than a cat in a room full of laser pointers, decided it was bored. After successfully pulling off a 51% attack on Monero (yes, that’s as shady as it sounds), Qubic turned its gaze toward a new target. And who better than Dogecoin, the lovable underdog of cryptocurrencies? 🐕‍🦺

A Vote Fit for Cryptokind

In true democratic fashion-or at least as close as crypto gets to democracy-founder Sergey Ivancheglo (or Come-from-Beyond, if you’re into aliases) held a vote. The question? Which Proof-of-Work network should Qubic target next? It was like asking which house you’d rather throw a rock at, but hey, choices are choices.

The contenders included Kaspa, Zcash, and Dogecoin. Spoiler alert: Dogecoin won. With over 300 votes, DOGE emerged victorious, leaving its rivals in the dust. Or perhaps we should say “in the bone pile.” 🦴

“The Qubic community has chosen Dogecoin.”

Ivancheglo reassured everyone that this wasn’t about destruction per se-it’s just business. Apparently, they plan to mine Dogecoin while proving their concept, all without causing too much chaos. Because nothing says “trustworthy intentions” like temporarily redirecting hashing power from other networks. 😅

“To avoid misunderstanding: Preparation to mining Dogecoin requires months of development, the Qubic pool is mining #Monero during this period.”

So essentially, Monero is getting robbed twice. Poor Monero. It must feel like being stuck in line behind someone paying for their groceries entirely in pennies. 🔢

The Bigger Picture (and Some Memecoins)

While Qubic insists it’s not here to burn bridges-or blockchains-the move highlights one glaring truth: Proof-of-Work systems are about as secure as a chocolate teapot when faced with enough computing muscle. This raises some eyebrows-and possibly blood pressures-among crypto enthusiasts.

Dogecoin, valued at over $35 billion, saw its price dip briefly from $0.24 to $0.22. That’s right, folks; even beloved Shiba Inus can have bad days. On-chain data also revealed declining activity relative to its valuation. But fear not! Technical analysts, those eternal optimists armed with charts and hope, spotted a double-bottom pattern. Could DOGE rally to $0.30? Only time will tell, but let’s face it: predicting crypto prices is harder than teaching a goldfish to fetch. 🎣

And so, dear reader, we find ourselves in yet another chapter of the Great Crypto Saga-a tale filled with drama, intrigue, and emojis galore. Stay tuned, because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that the only constant in crypto is unpredictability. Unless you count memes. Memes are forever. 🚀✨
