A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my stash of moneroj was worth more than my stash of bitcoins.  So, telling myself that monero poses more long term risk, I sold almost half my moneroj.
Moral of the story:  don't talk to yourself!


 Cheesy Cheesy I agree that investing in XMR is better than investing in ETH, at least monero has lesser scam stories to tell.

having your own opinion and wrote it on forum is one thing,  but trying to lecture pro investor about what to invest, or trying to lecture a tech expert about technology...  thats another thing.

nevermind tho,  your community effort of bashing Dash surely working because Dash price keep rising...  keep up the good work then and carry on.  Wink

When pro investors are buying a coin which had millions instamined by the creator 'on accident' and then made the situation even worse by allowing insiders to vote to reduce the total supply by 3/4ths... I feel compelled to bring the issue to their attention.  
  
If I am no expert, just an enthusiast, and can clearly see how broken this situation is - I would assume the absurdity of it would be extra-apparent to those with more knowledge than I.

if u were smart enough to know that they were pro investor, shouldnt you realize that they should have been doing their homework ? perhaps if you were more humble, you would start questioning your own logic at that moment.

Just checked this coin out. I think Monero looks interesting but needs more time before I invest.

That's what some people think about Bitcoin still today. 
 
I took every dime I had and bought as much Monero as I could in Spring of 2015.  I've held it ever since, and don't regret it a bit.  I was early, but I wasn't wrong.

i don't see it doing much for a while, needs more time, im getting in early 2017

  No worries.  $12 will still be   Cheap CoinsTM

Haha we shall see, things take time

2016 thus far has been very good for Monero.  I expect that will continue, as there is a lot going on.  Exciting times after some of the doldrums we've weathered over the last couple years.

Regardless of any viewpoints on DASH, historically just about every major XMR rally is preceded by a DASH rally, usually by a few weeks. This is my observation, perhaps its merely coincidence but you decide. I'll be interested to see what happens this time.

It's transparently obvious to anyone with half a brain, AP...

Which is why it's not worth engaging with dasheads. Sure, they come out when there's a reassuring pump, but it will not last and I for one have no qualms about shorting the shit of it to scalp a little BTC and accumulate more of my beloved XMR off the back of rigged pricing that is unsustainable.  Roll on the GUI and let's see our volume the day after....  and our price.

Bullish, bearish or stagnant?

Monkey is rather bearish btc out to mid September.  Alts may correlate, but adverse events elsewhere and/or positive xmr developments would favor xmr on a relative basis.  I plan to short some btc, get it back in Sept. - and bank gains in xmr, naturlich. I might short some *ahem* other alts on bfx via my Hong Kong proxy when they reopen margin, and rates settle.  I probably will add xmr if there are serious dips.  Anything below 1.8 USD is a steal, but who knows how deep a flash crash can cut ?  Buy your boats before summer is over, people!  Flash me a few k!

People can have their own opinions, just as you have your own. I personally think McAfee is too busy buying coke and hookers to be worried about investing in another cryptocurrency project.

I have never bashed dash, nor have most people in this thread.  I certainly have never posted in a dash thread and I don't have any wish to.

There is no need to. In the end time will tell and any irrationality in the market will ultimately be corrected. A few superior cryptocurrencies will triumph and the vast majority of the rest - the inferior projects - will fail. 

I have my money where my mouth is, I assume you have your money where yours is.  Good luck.

Now (kindly) go back to where you belong.

I had a little chat with McAfee.  He seemed to have some mistaken ideas about XMR.  I provided enough info and links so that he can correct any misinformation, if he chooses to do diligence.  Heck I would take the time to spoon-feed him , if he had any reason not to think me a typical crypto scanner - but he doesn't, so there's no point in that.  I hope he gets a more realistic and nuanced picture of the issues, because I think he will become a stalwart. XMR-maximalist, if he does.

I know his company was buying Dash recently, so they are interested in privacy crypto - I think he may have just been mislead as to the ideal form of that.  As well, I'm a big fan of his new security company $MGT. 
 
I've already reached out to Voorhees and Ver on multiple occasions (who crypto-advise for his company), and they have said they will 'look into it'.  Honestly these two seem way too smart to be taken in by Dash's pyramid scheme and insta-mine fraud, so I would hope they would be advising to stay away from that nonsense. 
 
John McAfee, if you're reading this, I'm not a computer science expert - just an enthusiast who has been reading about and studying this stuff for years.  If you have any questions, or want to chat with a real non-anon person about it, you are welcome to PM me here or on Reddit (same user name, /u/americanpegasus) with any questions or comments you have.  If I don't know the answer, I can steer you to people who do.  Any conversation, or even the fact that we had a conversation doesn't need to be public knowledge.

firstly if you coming to Voorhess and ver and Mcafee then trying to preach them that they made bad bussiness decision on what your ideal of coin should be, then i guess they ignore you Huh  surely they were smart investor and they dont invest without thorough research of the investment.  so when you black campaigning dash to them you make urself like a loser and a jerk, yet make your called community look like a loser too.

secondly as you were saying yourself, how come you as "which is not a computer science expert" trying to tell mcafee which is some sort of "computer science expert"  that he was wrong Huh

lastly its quite sad to see how you see Mcafee as your hero while all your comrades despise him



Mcafee has always been shit it's no surprise he buys shit crypto.

He sold the company many, many years ago.  His explanation of this was a particular high-point of the internet as a whole: https://youtu.be/bKgf5PaBzyg




People can have their own opinions, just as you have your own. I personally think McAfee is too busy buying coke and hookers to be worried about investing in another cryptocurrency project.
