RetoSwap, an illegal darkweb market, openly posts on Twitter about doing 63 million in trade volume,

While Bisq, the Bitcoin software they originally adapted it from, is here on Nostr..

As Qubic attacks Monero, I think the Monero community should reassess their sole reliance on tyrannical spyware Big Tech. Obviously, everyone knows about the privacy and censorship aspects, but the thing they are missing here is the algorithm's ability to mold society.

You see, Qubic is primarily relying on propaganda and attention to sway miners away from the herd, to pledge alliance to his ponzi scheme coin. As he has no means to directly contact them through the Monero protocol itself, and so giving him attention is exactly what he craves.

Qubic is only able to spread this content so effectively, because of the Monero community's blind allegiance to platforms like Twitter, which are literally working against them.

On the other hand, Nostr has the "web of trust", to handle outsider spam, random bot accounts, and see who vouches for content. So on Nostr, Qubic wouldn't be able to easily bribe outsiders to repost, because those outsiders wouldn’t have the same influence to even be seen among the Monero pack. Also, there is no algorithmic feed, to promote things heavily against the community’s organic desires.

Further, it's clear Qubic is state funded, and in fact his cryptocurrency openly admits to investments from the WEF, EU commission, and other intergovernmental organizations. And so, his attack should not just be a wake-up call for smaller chains with Proof of Work, it should be a wake-up call for how we interact and structure our communities
