GUI progress ?

Soon as always.

In my opinion, at some point we need a sub thread on how long is the patience of a Monero bagholder for the empty word "soon".
I think you are exactly the very right person to start that thread and discussion with the trolls.

Get lost please... your logic is so flawed and for everyone clear to see... if "soon" is an empty word for you why should you stay a bagholder, you are free to leave... the Dev Team does not owe us a thing, so if you don´t agree with their way of doing things... either sell your bag, fork it away and do better or just be silent.

go away please. I am sure I am not the only one tiring of your thinly veiled trolling / shilling.

when it goes up Monero is the best thing since sliced bread for you (1 k, 10 k, 100 k etc etc yawn), when it's weaker you keep stepping on its head to fill your bags.

It's understandable but fucking annoying.

While very true for Bitcoin, this article is even more relevant for Monero. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoins-market-cap-not-think/

Edit: Here is the main reference https://vinnylingham.com/deconstructing-the-bitcoin-market-cap-ce52b0d87035#.mh02k5qj9

I'm not following his math to get to $697, but I disagree with his view on mining = stock split. A stock split does not affect market cap, but does affect individual share price. Instead, mining is simply akin to a continuous offering, which will affect market cap, and also possibly share price, depending on whether the offering is dilutive or accretive.

The simpler comparison to account for the continuous issuance is to look at both price per coin / share, as well as total market cap, as shown many places, including coinmarketcap.com.

As for the lost coin, its anyone's guess. But unless you assume there is increasing rate of lost coin over time, it shouldn't affect the comparability of periods. In fact, I would argue lost coins have decreased over time, as people are more careful with bitcoin in the hundreds than when it was in the pennies and dollars.

And losing your money by trusting a third party wouldn't make you feel stupid? Really? ...

It wouldn't for Joe Average, because it gives him someone to blame. Lots of folks do not like hearing, "you have no-one to blame but yourself."

My dad is in his 70's and has had his identity stolen 3 times! He hates having to use credit cards. That is one huge argument for crypto, everytime he has had his identity stolen it was a breach of a large chain store.

In crypto your dad can still have his privatekeys stolen if hes not carefull enough

At least then it's your own fault, and not completely out of your control and the fault of Target, Sony, etc.

And that is supposed to make it better? You get to lose your money AND feel stupid.

I think feeling stupid (and having the opportunity to learn from your mistake so you don't repeat it) could be better than feeling completely helpless and having no recourse to alter future outcomes.

But that money is usually insured, so not so dumb if you lack the capabilities, time, or desire to learn how to secure your own funds.

As long as Monero creates a better method for securing funds for the politically motivated and the technically capable, better protections should be created for those who aren't politically motivated to secure their own funds or who lack the technical capabilities to do so. In a libertarian's or crypto-anarchist's ideal world, everyone would both know how to do this and be willing to do so, but that's hardly the world we live in, so almost best methods will have to do for most people.
