Topic: Buying more: XSPEC or MONERO? I love both as Trader :) - page 5. (Read 10149 times)

I'm currently invested in Monero and Spectrecoin.Both coins offer fantastic privacy features. Monero has the higher marketcap but still has plenty of room for growth. The two things that attracted me to Spectrecoin are that it's a Proof of stake coin, you will earn around 10% per annum just holding your coins in the wallet. The second reason is stealth staking. Stealth staking will be implemented in Q1 2019. Stealth staking will allow the user to stake and be rewarded with untraceable coins. Both are solid projects.

Xspec like Monero. (Like young Monero in the end of 2015)
But it POSv3 (proof of stake) and (proof of stealth in Future)
Recommend!

Why keep both coins?
I believe that more money I will earn on the one that has a small capitalization.
I choose  - Spectrecoin (XSPEC)


Here everything is written and said, read and buy Spectrecoin (XSPEC)

I actually hold both. Monero is obviously king at the moment but I have been concentrating on buying more xspec.

Spectrecoin has such a good product so far with constant development being made to ensure its privacy is exactly what it says, private. Ring signatures, stealth addresses and a professional audit upcoming, the team are going above and beyond to make this the top privacy count around.  These are some of the reasons I have been buying more as I really think this is a hidden gem (huge growth potential just to reach its previous ath)

While Monero is clearly a leader right now among privacy coins with it recognition, reputation and technology

If you're looking at the best possible gains - I'd say that XMR is rather "safe" investment, than a "money maker". Its like S&P500 stock.
You could do couple of X's at best, but like not much more than that.
Because everybody knows how awesome it already is. So all its features are already priced in

Meanwhile XSPEC (or Spectrecoin) is a type "of your secret gem" (return wise, great USP technology/very low market cap) investment

XSPEC is currently priced only at 6 million market cap,
with a determined on Stealth Staking technology (call it Proof-of-Stealth if you like it) professional team

I ve got a couple of arguments to consider in my opinion of why XSPEC will be massive:

First - it has USP (unique selling product) which is Stealth Staking (while Monero is on PoW)
Second - the price already hit 6 dollars at once, but with a change of the dev team and project management, that has created uncertaintly among users and overall bear market, it ultimately felt to where it started.

Now it starts to gain momentum back again:
- Last one or two months many Articles start to come out (Crypto community that specializes on research starts to notice)
- WhitePaper
- New Website
- Constant new version clients and work on automatic builds
- Stable funding mechanism
- GitHub activity

All those things point out that we have a potential "winner" here at current entry points

xmr.
buy monero. it is one of the best altcoin in market. xspec or other private coins will be 0$ in very near future.

Spectrecoin is the most undervalued privacy coin, so has great price potential.

I just don't think that their white paper, website, new development team, new road map and all that stuff has been priced in yet. People just don't know, they will soon tho!

we can see a big rise for both of them.

imho xspec is worth a gamble. i researched a bit and it looks like the team is very active and if the coin hits the ath of january 2018 this will be a very nice rr.

XMR is always worth a buy but the "cheap" times are over i guess

As of right now Monero is clearly the best privacy coin. Let's not forget 3 years ago XMR was around $0.50 and still working on fixing a lot of previous issues. That's how I'm treating XSPEC and will continue to hold both of these coins. 

For the person who was wondering how a PoSV3 coin can maintain privacy with staking, the devs are working on a proof of stealth (essentially anonymous staking) slated for Q1 2019. IF they succeed with that, I don't see any reason XSPEC can't be the PoSV3 version of Monero. Both use ring sigs, stealth addresses, XPSEC has native TOR integration while XMR is working on Kovri. Stealth staking and some version of RingCT would put them neck and neck tech wise, so I'll see how we look coming into 2020! Patience can be rewarded in this space.

As a long term investment, I chose Monero.
and if I am a trader, I will choose the two coins. And take advantage of the right moment. with good analytical techniques and news.

I see many are talking about XSPEC here in speculation altcoins but for me I'll only go for monero. There's no other privacy coin that can be compared to Monero but its the best, IMO.

If you see an advantage with XSPEC for its staking, you decide.

You are right
They are similar and Monero is dominant.

I ll monitor both market
and I would put some to speculate that they ll grow in next hype, it should be fun

I dont know as a trader, but as a holder Monero for sure pays off. Monero is only fungible crypto currency. And currency has to be fungible if what to succeed.   Why price of Monero will go up in 2019 and latter is because Monero emission keeps decreasing. IT is not like in Bitcoin halving every 4 years, but it decreases daily and in 2019 emission rate will get relay small.

I think MONERO is more attractive to investors, hence, I think this coin is more promising. Personally, I would not invest in either of them.

Spectre has a projected annual inflation rate of 5 percent. It looks to me, this inflation is a bit on the heavy side when it come to cryptocurrency. Other than that, it's like Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Monero-like crypto with privacy features. How does staking work, at the same time maintaining the privacy of the users, is beyond me.

All in all, I don't see Monero being threatened here.

 I use to have XSPEC because I have bought some of it on cryptopia, it felt really great when it spikes sharply. XSPEC will have a lot to grow but you'd have to also see that popularity of XMR will also get you more profit. Is there any merchant right now that accepts XSPEC? I have no idea right now but I see monero to be stronger in this aspect.

Monero has big name
If you read this blog then you ll get the idea:

Spectrecoin has possibilities to jump higher.
I like the description about the coin and its new update.
I just found it:
https://briandcolwell.com/2018/08/spectrecoin-privacy-tech-innovation/.html

I love both and I predict both coins can jump higher.
How high the percentage each of them until end of the year likely?
Portion to speculate to buy each?

I speculate that each of them can go 3x.
But Spectrecoin has smaller market,
Monero really had big name for privacy.
