The funny (seriously) thing about this attack on Luna is that it could happen to all POS. All you need is enough money to destroy a project. Whereas, POW is secure and decentralized. With @kadena_io $kda, you get Security, Decentralization, and Scalability! Trilemma!

I think accumulate $KDA at cheap prices $2.00 $2.50 is the right move.
In the next bull run #KDA NFT's built on marmalade will be huge.
NFA, just my thoughts.
