🚨 Dogecoin in Qubic’s Crosshairs Following Monero 51% Attack – Is DOGE Next?

Qubic Group turns its sights to Dogecoin after executing a successful 51% attack on Monero—raising alarms across the crypto space.

### The Shiba Inu in the Crossfire

Dogecoin—the meme coin that outlived its own jokes—now faces a real threat as Qubic's targeting spree continues. Monero's privacy shield cracked last week; will DOGE's proof-of-work armor hold?

### 51% Attacks: From Niche Threat to Mainstream Menace

Once theoretical, majority attacks now strike top-30 coins. Monero's $30M market cap bleed post-attack shows the stakes. Dogecoin's $15B valuation? A juicier target.

### 'Security Through Memes' Isn't a Whitepaper Section

While Bitcoin maximalists sneer, the reality bites: even coins with 'vibrant communities' (read: Elon tweetstorms) aren't immune to blockchain thermodynamics. Miners follow profits—loyalty's priced in hashrate.

Will Dogecoin's grassroots army rally to fortify its network? Or will Wall Street's favorite 'not-a-security' security become crypto's next cautionary tale? Either way, the SEC's popcorn machine is warming up.

What a Dogecoin attack could mean

A 51% attack allows the controlling party to reorganize blocks, stop certain transactions, or attempt double-spending. Qubic currently runs a pool with about 2.3 GH/s of Monero hashrate, enough to keep control of its network. If the same level of power were applied to Dogecoin, the risks could be significant.

Qubic describes its actions as “stress tests” designed to prove the strength of its own mining model, known as useful proof-of-work. Profits from the pool are used to buy and burn QUBIC tokens. The project has said it does not intend to break Monero or Dogecoin, but the experiments have raised new questions about the safety of proof-of-work systems when mining becomes concentrated.

No timeline has been shared for the move against Dogecoin, but the announcement has already drawn attention to the coin’s security and how its developers may respond.
