It's not just the financial system that is failing.
The UK is unwinding at incredible pace.
here is a list of whats happening (my potted view, probably far worse).
Censorship disguised as protection: The Online Safety Act is already being used to suppress dissent and block access to lawful but inconvenient content. Fears of censorship and surveillance.
Crackdowns on financial innovation: Due to aggressive FCA rules, major DeFi platforms are warning/blocking users. Limiting exposure to the fastest-growing segment of global finance while other countries full-on embrace it.
Oh btw, you can walk down any high street and gamble your money away in sports betting shops. So clearly, there isnt too much concern about 'risk' to consumers pockets.
Harsh tax regime: The UK tax burden is now at its highest since WWII, projected to hit 37.7% of GDP by 2027. Capital gains, dividend, and income taxes are rising with allowances being slashed to almost zero. The Institute for Fiscal Studies calls it an “unprecedented squeeze” on high earners and small business.
Hostility to global talent: The UK lost over 10% of non-dom taxpayers in the past year, individuals who still contributed £9b in tax before leaving. Skilled worker visas (excluding healthcare) fell by 39%, and net migration collapsed from 860,000 to 431,000 in 2024.
Runaway public cost with no accountability: The UK now spends over £8 million a day housing asylum seekers in hotels. Over £3 billion annually.
Street crime is rising. Massively.
Example stats:
- Knife crime in London is up 58% in 3 years.
- Mobile phone thefts surged by 425% since 2021, 39% of all European cases happen in the UK. The large majority of which, occur in London.
No true freedom of speech: There are now documented cases where individuals have received longer sentences for speech than those convicted of violent crimes.
💣 Monero is Under Attack — Not by Code, but by Incentives
Monero isn’t being hacked — it’s being bought.
A mining pool called Qubic, run by IOTA cofounder Sergey Ivancheglo, is quietly accumulating hashrate by overpaying miners in its own token, QUBIC, while keeping the real XMR.
The goal? Reach 51% hashrate and control the network.
➡️How the attack works:
🟢Miners get paid in QUBIC, not XMR
🟢Qubic hoards XMR and burns QUBIC to pump its price
🟢More miners join as rewards rise
🟢Qubic gains control without writing a single line of malicious code
➡️If Qubic crosses 51%, they can:
🟢 Censor or delay transactions
🟢 Reverse blocks
🟢 Force protocol changes
🟢 Undermine Monero’s privacy guarantees
And it only costs ~$10K/day — cheaper than banner ads.
➡️Why Monero is vulnerable:
🟢 Mobile CPU miners (RandomX)
🟢 Fixed low block rewards (0.6 XMR)
🟢 Zero-fee network
🟢 Good usage, but poor economic defense
➡️What the community is doing:
🟢 Promoting P2Pool
🟢 Advising 13 confirmations
🟢 Considering a hard fork
🟢 Issuing public warnings
This is a new kind of attack — economic, not technical.
If Monero can be bought, it can be broken.
Privacy can’t survive without strong incentives.
