Let's talk about Byzantine fault tolerance.
Tendermint (now called CometBFT) is a consensus engine based on Byzantine fault tolerance, and chains such as Cosmos Hub use it.
To be honest, I hadn't noticed this before either: when holding large amounts of assets on a chain with very few validators, be aware that a handful of nodes colluding could affect the ledger.
$ATOM is the native token of Cosmos Hub, a chain that uses a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism.
Don't trade with borrowed money; the pressure can push you into making bad decisions.
#ATOM Use this as a reference, but don't take it all on trust.
