Is there any other reason ?
The listing wasn't the reason. Only the excuse.
Correct.
It's my first post to this forum, most likely not going to be the last.
I give you my personal opinion on why Monero is going to be big and post exponential gains over the medium term, regardless of where is currently being marketed:
Next year (2018 if you read this post in the future) almost all countries will have implemented the so called "Common Reporting Standard" (google it, and it's on wikipedia).
Actually many countries have already implemented it, but next year is the year where most of the "tax heavens" will implement it; see full list of countries coming on board in 2018 on wiki.
So, in short, what this means is that tax heaven will not exist any more, or at least not as we know it today. Everything will be disclosed to everyone (or at least to the tax authorities of everywhere). Especially banks will disclose every thing to the countries - so your money will be public.
So where do you think that wealth that is now stored currently in tax heavens goes?
So there you go, think people. If I were you I would stock Monero (and possibly other anonymous cryptos) and HODL till 2019 at least.
That is what I do at least.
Happy trading to everyone.
