...thinking in taking a 5-figure XMR position soon (if he can afford 5 figures when his fiat arrives).
I think it is very gentlemanly of you to share this information. Thank you. I would volunteer to help provide liquidity if it is lacking when the time comes. It's always worthwhile to have more adoption. (Although I could prefer more dispersion!)
I forgot to mention that the 3rd person (of only 3 in total that I met today for business) made a semi-strong commitment to invest 100 BTC very soon. (The reason I forgot to mention is that he already owns XMR).
So no matter whom I meet, it ends up that he buys XMR.
This is a clear bullish indicator that Monero will rise this week. If you want to make money buy in, short and long term looks brilliant. I can't recommend selling XMR though, selling for prices below $500-$1000/XMR is the same mistake early Bitcoin adopters made.
