Did XMR Drip After Wallet Exploit? (cryptodaily.co.uk)
Somewhat curious, though not like using xmr speculatively.

Some of the media reports are negatively confusing, like saying the Monero network is defective. Date-Time in UTC.
Edit: Moonstone Research -> 2023-11-04T00:39 was based on the server response headers (last-modified). Apparently the blog post was created about 1 hour earlier (the link was posted on Github at 2023-11-03 23:50).
Is it possible? Sure, but a $4 drop in terms of US dollars is nothing to write home about. Monero is actually incredibly stable for a crypto because it has real-world usage.
Yeah, personally 160+ feels rather good, even 150–160 is not so bad. Nevertheless 175-ish -> 165-ish can be a significant move, though it well may be just a random move too.
Not “worrying“ at all like investor people (who buy and re-sell without actually using it), but somewhat curious about the effects of not-so-accurate (irresponsible) media reports, or more generally: do people now trust Monero less because of this incident (which seems to be, ultimately, just a human error of one person and bad luck)?
That is a valid PR question to ask (so to speak), while talking about price movement is admittedly inelegant 😅 Asking an unpopular question without hesitating, that’s part of freedom I believe in!
