The key with XMR, all alts, and all speculative plays in general is to NEVER buy more that you can afford to lose.

Grab the popcorn. It will remain interesting for quite some time. I will hodl what I've got and look to add more. Whatever the market sees, it sees it only short term. I disagree with Mr. Market right now.

I'm new to monero and I was looking at putting some money into it. Question, what caused the recent price spike? Was the inflation decreased?

I think mainly speculation fueled by the positive development on github as monero keeps getting closer to a 1.0 release, perhaps combined with decreasing daily emission.

Monero needs transaction amounts to be hidden from public (not just sender/receiver) and a official gui wallet, and both are close to being ready.

With those 2 in place, we can begin work on increasing amount of XMR users and merchants.

And the gift of cheap Monero keeps on giving. I've been buying all the way down. I'd argue that Monero has to be the most undervalued altcoin today, all the more so at these prices.

emission decrease daily. it is not same as with BTC where it happened every now and then.  in 2 years emission went from like 25k to 9k mined coins a day. So decreased a lot.

Volume on Poloniex increased a lot last months. That was main reason for raise of all altcoins there. Monero raised more since it was undervalued in beginning of year.

If you try to change it, you will ruin it.
Try to hold it, and you will lose it.

Let me paraphrase:

Appreciate what you have.
Don't give a shit.

BTW nice call of bottom from the other day assuming it hodls.  It is also my assumption but IDGAS if it holds.

I don't see it going down to 0.001 anymore. The volume in the recent run was far too large to suddenly (or even protractedly) allow going back to such low levels. There is also a massive historical support in 0.0018 and up, so I'd be pretty content to buy here if the portfolio can bear more XMR. The emission is constantly shrinking, so it is faulty to compare current situation to the previous valley in 0.001s.

Also it's good to consider that the runup took weeks and was very careful. The sudden crash to 0.002 just screams a short-term reaction back up, so if selling is the intent, hold your horses, you'll get a better price for sure from the normal oscillation, no matter where the price is heading mid-term.

My feeling is overall quite positive, and the probability that the uptrend will continue despite the carnage of the last days is high in my opinion.

Longer term, the probability of negative scenarios is larger than that of the positive, but this is more than made up with the obscene upside in the positive scenarios, compared to the meager downside even in the most negative ones (-100%).

Well almost all ALTS are on red candels, so i believe this to be the forecast of the BTC pump. I'll have a cup of tea, and watch this until the halving of BTC  Grin

big battle going on in 220k. I will guess this is the bottom.

TrueCryptonaire, TheKoziTwo, buy back now or cry l8er Tongue

I think it will bottom at 170k-180k. Its was previously strongest support level, imo.

I agree with this conditional on the current zone breaking. We may not see that zone though, current support zone seems somewhat strong as well.

I do believe that "Swiss bank account in your pocket." is worth more then any bottom.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

Now lets see who makes the first big buy, support building at 0.002.

I am sorry I cannot do that but if you want to do it obviously you are free to do so.  Smiley
The trend broke too badly. It is time to go down and rest a little bit (some months) and probably go its long term resting state value of 0.001.

I will try not to raise my avg cost by buying over 0.001.  But it's hard, because the bullish fundamentals are unchanged and "Monero under a dollar what are you waiting for!!!"   Undecided

The drop is probably due to the alt sector collapse, not anything specific to XMR.  We just got hit hardest because we were up the most.

With XMR firmly in 3rd place, total alt volume is more than half of BTC's.  That trend indicates future volatility may give back what the present has taken.

Strap in and enjoy the ride!   Cool
