Is now a good time to buy XMR or do you guys think it will come down some and offer a better entry.

Chances are it will come down quite a bit after zcash promotion engine starts revving up. But will it be a good entry I don't know.

Why would anybody think of buying zcash? Well, much for the same reason as buying monero.

I think zcash will help spread the word about fungibility.

I was thinking. For someone who wanted ultimate privacy, they could run their funds through every privacy centric crypto on the market. Their privacy would be a function of the strongest link in the chain not the weakest. So even if there are some concerns that zcash may have a few too many moving parts to offer true piece of mind it could have strong utility for the previously mentioned reason.

Zcash could also be added as a sidechain to Monero. It would basically act as a mixer on top of an already fungible blockchain then. This provides, in my opinion, better privacy than Zcash itself, where you have fully transparent basecoins (basically Bitcoins) and the anonymous zerocoins.

Thrash needs advertising, gold doesn't - it just needs to be discovered and the army of gold diggers will follow.
Monero has excellent web wallet for almost two years and it doesn't even have a faucet, yet most people on this thread are acting like vacuum cleaner salesman. Instead of spreading awareness (faucets, blogs, etc ...) they are following the DASHoles way (even suggesting to use same PR as them), whats next - worshiping the holy vending machine or dragging in your friends & family to build a bigger ponzi pyramid?
If you really love your Monero bag then there's no need for aggressive advertising campaign cos that would mean you only want to get rid of it @higher price possible.
Here's a boner for all of you that think advertising will bring financial freedom to the world:

PS
Just wrote to Faucetbox support asking about possibility of adding Monero, ready to chip in 100XMR to make it real, hope they'll answer soon Cool

True.

So are you basically saying Risto starts dumping his Moneros because of zcash promotion?  Shocked

I suggest you seek professional financial advice from someone licensed to do such a thing.

Make sure they are a "Fiduciary" and not a "financial advisor", there is a huge difference. Wink


I think Monero is very promising and I put my money where my mouth is.
But this thread is an echo chamber populated with a mix of starry-eyed evangelists, and the odd troll here and there....


Bullshit! I call them like I see them. Prove otherwise.

What the h*ll is happening with Darkcoin? Its market cap is almost 100 million usd...

I suggest do a XMR collect, send it to Amanda B Johnsons in a multisign fashion and release it to her only when she pumps it to the stratosphere.

Let´s brainstorm the details

Actually I like the idea.
Just raising bounty for Monero marketing for 3 years.
200 XMR/day for pumping would be released.
It costs 219 000 XMR all together, and probably it will be bringing tons of new blood into the community.
It can be indeed Amanda B Johnson or someone else. I do not really care but the important thing is that the word gets out.


200/day  seems a bit too much. We are looking for a truly believer, not a mercenary. 50/day during lets say 6 months, coinciding with the feb dates is, I think, more than enought. 2-3 videopodcast per week. I really like the Amanda profile, as she knows enought about crypto cogs  and she has a nice flow in the communication department. Watch:

I think 6 months is way too short period... In the beginning it takes time people even find the vids, after the follower base is somewhat decent it takes also time for people to adapt a new paradigm. For smarter people it takes less time than the average people. However, I think 6 months is way too short period of time.

Social media such as Youtube is definetely the way to attract the large masses, perhaps also traditional blogs as well (from the blogs more sophisticated people are attracted because those people tend to love reading).

When GUI will be finished, we could also crowdfound some projects like this. Same as some development is founded, can also be this.
I know that is against many Monero supporters principals, but is not against all.
It is nothing bad if you tell the world of the best anon coin. Actually is your duty to do it!

I ofcourse have no ideas how perfect suggestion of this guy was. But if there is place where people post their suggestions, i am sure there will be few perfect ones.

Hardly insightful, you could say that about the entire cryptoverse.

I'm going to assume you're young.
I'm not young.  I am retired. I have decades of experience,

I am also "not young" and one of the things I've learn't is not to make assumptions about people, blow hard about my "experience" or seek refuge in cliches about "detachment" when talking about trading.  Funny how life reveals different lessons to different people.
