The guys gathered the majority of Monero's nodes and took over the network, rearranging a few blocks as they wished... 7-8 years ago, when hashrates were not as astronomical as today, we used to discuss whether a 51% attack on Bitcoin could happen. Someone has provided an answer to perhaps one of the oldest questions in crypto by turning theory into practice. Not only by organizing the network, but also theoretically, a 51% cost could yield 100% revenue because from that point on, they also decided who would receive the verification reward and who wouldn't. Or, similar to Monero, it could be turned into a profitable long-term process by giving something to the remaining 49% to ensure the network's security. For a while now, apart from discussions on how to save Ethereum, crypto geek topics had not been trending; pleasant discussions would now circulate on Reddit and such.
