Any number of events may serve as a catalyst to drive people into a privacy-protected currency. I have no convictions as to which will occur in what order, but I do think that the number of them is large so several will occur in time, and motivated investors will be highly motivated when their personal trigger gets pulled. XMR > LTC seems like a no-brainer. (Hopefully that will involve XMR appreciation as well as LTC depreciation.)
I rather hope that no influx of neophytes occurs before the db is out, so that 32 bit works, and an easily used gui with qr code ex/im/xn support is available.
I will be flying discount fares, drinking immature liquor, foregoing car service, deferring donations, as long as XMR is this cheap, accumulating.
Exponentially declining emission, people. Get them while you can.
Its posts like these that make me sure I'm doing the correct thing by continuing to accumulate, genuine fundamental reasons why a coin is a good one to have. Instead of the normal Marketcap comparisons which justify a rise in price as inevitable just because the current cap is lower than competitors or "It hasn't been pumped yet" conversations as well.
The whole reasoning behind the emission curve being what it is was to provide everyone with the chance they are getting now, to get in at a decent price that is relatively stable before the reward decreases and the HR/Difficulty increases as well. People always moan about instamine/ninjamine and then when they are presented with a high inflationary coin that tackles those points in the early days of its inception everyone is too afraid to accumulate, you cant win. Well that is unless you understand this and are one of the smarter people buying them up. Increasing network and decreasing block reward, the writing is one the wall.
