what website did you get that from?

Well it's been a couple of months.  
  
Things are slow on the Monero development front, but the price has remained stable.  
  
I'm still plugging along, buying what Monero I can with my extra income and encouraging crypto-enthusaists to do the same.  In an image that will surely be historic one day, we sit in 6th place behind a few unworthy opponents with some shining exceptions:  
  
 
  
The only thing that would make me change my mind on Monero is a vastly superior technology hitting the crypto scene or a few years passing without any adoption increase or development (in which case the Monero I bought will be a total loss, but I'm prepared to accept that risk).
  
In the meantime social media awareness of Monero is slowly growing, and hopefully people will adopt quickly during the speculation phase instead of sitting on the sidelines like I did with bitcoin.  Sometimes we know something good when we see it, but are scared to commit.  I would hope that no one else has to experience that pain when they see Monero achieve near 1:1 parity with bitcoin in the coming years, knowing they could have had it for thousandths of a bitcoin.  
  
On the other hand, if I'm wrong?  Oh well, I lost the equivalent of a really, really righteous vacation in Las Vegas.  I can't think of a better gamble in the world right now, and I can get drunk on comp'd drinks right here in my living room.

got a link to some info about monero?

My initial impression it is a non-english name for the coin.

REKT LOL,......this is what Monero developers get for attacking other real project's or even developers instead of doing some actually work. The only thing the Monero Developers know about crypto is to CRY"P"TO about it here on how other coins are bad.

This is becoming a real joke guys.

Monero's "profound" technology - Off-the-shelf CryptoNote copied in from Bytecoin including the crippled miner code which Monero launched and then said they didn't realize the miner was scammed.  After 1 year of "development" the official wallet is still a horrific mess that takes a week to sync and has inherent major issues with dust, blockchain bloat, large transactions failing, they didn't work out how to add a GUI either even though CryptoNote (the actually innovators) made them one for free..and exchanges won't implement based on how unstable the wallet is and that every transaction needs the user to enter a seperate payment ID causing a support melt-down - The basic system doesn't work.

Monero is decentralized / anonymous - With how shit the wallet is, new blood on the Monero forum get funneled quickly into MyMonero.com, a web wallet operated by the lead dev Fluffy Pony.  This gives Fluffy (and his ISP etc) access to all XMR transactions, users and their IPs who use the web wallet, which is the only viable 'official' wallet for most users. And it went down recently so no one could withdraw XMR and Fluffy's solution was 'Sorry it went down while I was in bed, for support, call me on the mobile, i will leave it on now'.  Kind of strange for the most anonymous / decentralized coin?  Except he has done this before when he tried to raise $200k from Vertcoin investors for Vertpay.com.  And he is working on his next installment PayBee.com coming soon.....These are the Monero lead dev's development priorities while the official wallet still is unstable and has no GUI after 1 year..  

Secondly, 95% of XMR volume is going through Poloniex, which now requires your name and address before you can withdraw coins (and obviously knows everyone's IP and balance / transactions).  So between MyMonero and Poloniex, in reality, Monero is almost totally centralized and delivering zero anonymity which is why no one is actually using it

Great dev team - Spend most of their time goading a small core of deluded Monero investors to believe that a clone-coin with zero development that after 1 year they can't work out how to finish, will replace bitcoin.  Stemming from there this cult goes out around BCT attacking anyone designated by Fluffy / Smooth as "a scam" which is each competitor.  Totally dishonest with their community in their "pump talk" about 10,000 XMR pizzas and how they will be the new elite lol, when in fact as a clone coin with the innovation done out-of-house, anyone else cloning Bytecoin that does a slightly better job (like make a usable wallet) and Monero's value based on "innovation" evaporates, and they are just left with a "good community" or rather "the most agressive / toxic community in alts right now" as I see it...the fact something this obvious is never mentioned and instead the devs themselves go around trying to kill or takeover the competition to eliminate this possibility instead of developing, is what makes Monero essentially an elaborate hoax / ponzi scheme operated through BCT, Poloniex and a constant supply of either pump talk or FUDing the competition.

How long before you realize no one wants your sh*tcoin, stop trolling BCT.  You should be being humble and going to make a basic wallet work, you have to earn value through work not through typing propaganda and bullshit all day.......................

who is this mr. peg guy?

That's because you are straight retarded.

Good luck with your scamcoin.

BLAH BLAH BLAH
Ii seems that you are just an "average"

That's because you are straight retarded.

Good luck with your scamcoin.

 
 
Funny enough, as the banks took the bailout money and continued to swing for the fences and get all hot-n-bothered by more wild gambles, I embarked on a putrid study and adventure in the OTC penny stock markets, swinging at pumps, dumps, and all manner of nonsense.  I learned valuable lessons about bid/ask stacks, FUD, hype, and psychology in those days. 
 
A few years later, I learned about options and got into those too.  The first time I heard about bitcoin was in 2011 when it was about $1 each, and I thought it sounded quite silly.  So I ignored it.  People told me my computer could likely mine about a bitcoin a week, and I didn't think that was worth my time (pre-ASIC days).   
 
Finally, by the time the bankers started wising up to what was happening around them, and in 2013, I also became interested in bitcoin proper. 
 
I had dabbled in Dogecoin briefly, which led me to altcoins, and I took my profits from the Dogecoin pump and spent them on 3D Printing options.... but alas, it wasn't time for that yet. 
 
Last November, as bitcoin finally reached critically low price (<$380) I realized what a value it was, and started reading more about it.  Then I had my epiphany: this wasn't just some fancy World of Warcraft gold .... this was the downright future.  I immediately started reading everything I could about it, now that I was finally convinced.  I became obsessed. 
 
They always said I had a learning disability growing up.  I still remember them telling my mom when I was 6 that, "He's not going to be like the other kids.  It's going to take him longer to understand concepts, but once he does, he will understand them better than everyone else combined.  He won't just see the black and white; he'll see the grey too." 
 
This has caused people to discount me all my life, only to regret it once I finally *got* whatever the subject matter is.  And I'm telling you: I now understand crypto.. 
 
Maybe not the minute details, nor the errata of elliptic curve cryptography (though I am filling in the gaps there too), but I can see the whole picture.  I see the technology, the people, the governments, the businesses, and the banks and what's going to happen to all of them.  It's like a beautiful spiral to me, and I can see it as clearly as a movie playing on a screen in front of me. 
 
So forgive my euphoria, because crypto wins. 
 
And now I found Monero.  I'm used to Scrypt Clones and shitcoins..  But this is something different.  Very different. 
 
This is.... well, I'm not going to reveal everything I've learned, but the fog of the future for Monero is rapidly clearing itself for me as well.  And pretty soon I'll be able to see the future of Monero as well, just like I've done for the personal computer, the internet, Google, the iPhone, Netflix, and bitcoin itself. 
 
This is my talent.  This is what I do. 
 
And I am fucking good at it.

proof that you know about bitcoin since 2008

proof that you know about bitcoin since 2008 or at least 2010

I don't even know who these people you guys are talking about are; it looks like I have some research to do.  I'm sure when Monero started there was a cryptonote shitstorm.  
  
Though my research tells me that Bytecoin was designed to fail, and was the testbed for Monero (which is the cryptonote implementation intended to be successful).

See, now this is exactly the reason why I fucking hate Monerotards. You're trying to cloud what you know to be the truth with fictitious seeds of doubt, seemingly for no apparent reason other than its in your nature to be a pathological liar.

To quote the great Sputnik a few posts down,

"anyone that needs multiple accounts should tell you all you need to know."

source? proof?

Do we even know that Josh Zeider was MoneroMan88? Because if the source is nutildah or people like him then I'm going to be skeptical of that too.

I suppose it's still possible that it was a Josh Z. alt all along, but I don't see any evidence for it.

Considered unlikely for now.
