Anyone still buying XMR?
I am trickle-buying the micro-dips. I need to replace XMR wallets which I am giving to friends and family members to whom I owe a duty of service or compassion. However, I will withhold from them each a single seed word, stored among my secure papers, to be delivered in the event of my death along with instructions not to sell below $75/XMR. It seems like a good time to do this, because now they will appreciate that it has present value as well as future potential value, and delaying this is likely to result in greater costs. Knowing that they have these funds (which the view key allows them to monitor) is likely to pique their interest in Monero in a way which my facts and logic can not - hopefully, to their benefit.
When I have finished that, I plan to make tax-deductible donations for the year, in the form of Monero wallets, to be delivered without restrictions on December 31st. In this way I hope to provide a much larger sum to my favorite charities than I would have been able to provide in dollars. Indeed, since they will not be delivered until nigh 2017, I may personally gain a large tax benefit from the timing, to offset gains on Monero which I retain. I will have to review the apparent optionality with my tax accountant.
