It seems we could be testing .0028 before resuming the slow pace, sane bull run. What are your short term projections?

You can dump >41000 XMR to 288k if you like gambling.  Some folks do.

Aaaand... somebody did.  LOL.  It will be fun to watch them race to cover the loss.

Your bullishness makes me nervous.

I just wish there was a way of buying Monero with cash.  My mattress is getting a bit high.

Last time I saw such bullishness on Monero thread, I almost bought at the ATH ...  Grin

Uhoh, that must mean this is the top! Everybody panic and sell your Moneroj! to me

Quite accurate observations.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

Seems like btc newcomers have all started mining Monero... ATH difficulty, 303xxxxx
Price is way to low for the new hashrate... I'm beginning to worry its actually coming from botnets...

I'm beginning to think a lot of the hashrate comes from what I call "benign botnets" or what some have called "evil sysadmins". I know of at least 2 individuals that have popped up on IRC asking for help with setting up such operations. if there are 2 people that find their way to monero irc to look for help because they don't know what to do.... that means there are probably a sizeable amount of sysadmins that do know what they are doing and do not need to show up at monero IRC asking questions and therefore are just happily mining away with otherwise idle computers that are severely understressed with their MS office and Edge workloads.

Please GingerAle, "evil sysadmins" is such a pejorative term.

The preferred nomenclature is Bastard Operator From Hell.   Cool

Once we're about one week clear post the BTC halving (~July 17th) we'll start to see proper harmonic market intent and a reconstitution of the base.
[ambiguous statement with lots of buzzwords]

Buzzword: a word or expression from a particular subject area that has become fashionable by being used a lot, especially on television and in the newspapers.

I'm pretty sure that "proper harmonic market intent" and "reconstitution of the base" doesn't fulfill the above criteria for a buzzword, but you're welcome to provide citations for proving prior popular usage.

As for ambiguity, just because you don't personally understand something (or are not privy to something) doesn't make it universally ambiguous.

Sorry if that sounds sanctimonious.

Also keep in mind that for a while, even at 20 cents / XMR, the hashrate was at 20 Mh/s... so perhaps the recent price spike has brought these players back, whatever they are.

I wonder if some aren't leasing these resources and risk nothing in the process?

No it isn't. Price was stuck at 50c USD for a long time. It is up 4x from that now. Hash rate is not up more than that, and probably less.


Hash rate is about doubled from that era, IIRC.  The fact that it remained so low leads me to believe that it wasn't particularly profitable to mine, however, and was sustained by believers, rather than profiteers.  Current conditions appear to be more appealing.

There is like over 1300 XBT in buy orders on Poloniex. Is something going to happen when people wake up in Europe?

Like I've been saying, someone knows something.

A lot of those 1300 are far enough from market as not to matter.  That doesn't change the fact that we've got some persistent buyers in there - buyers of only moderate patience.



And I know the dump is coming when Aminorex is bullish and the perfect timing for accumulation is when 1) Aminorex is quiet (he is buying) 2) Aminorex tells us how good opportunities there are in shorting wheat and having long positions in NOK-USD trading pairs.


BTW. Mr. Kavasaki has lost his interest in Monero completely. RIP I guess.

1000 BTC now and 220 BTC at 4% under the current price.

If those 200 are ready to actually buy that means a lot. But since most likely no one will want to lose 75000 XMR to dump them in it, probably dont matter at all.
