Will the Panama Papers have any effect on XMR?

Not unless a lot of people end up going to prison.  Otherwise, I would say no.  I suppose in the long run it may teach people to exercise 100% control over their stores of value, which can be facilitated with some cryptocurrencies.

Currently I am of the opinion that the so called Panama Papers are a gigantic joke.

a crackdown looks likely for tax havens and their ability to hide money. isn't that an opportunity for an anon crypto?

Exodus co-founder here, thanks for sharing! We started heavy on Monero integration last week and have been making some good progress. Here's a screenshot I took of my portfolio a few minutes ago: http://imgur.com/VjbW3MX - includes my first Monero purchase Smiley

I was optimistic that we'd be able to ship with Monero support this Friday (April 8th), but the user-experience needs a lot of improvement. In Exodus, it's imperative that every coin behave like the rest - this means instant notifications of receiving coins, near instant exchanges, etc. We hit some problems with Monero and are working on fixing them so that we can ship with Monero support Smiley

If you have any direct questions, either comment here or don't hesitate to email me at jp[at]exodus[dot]io

By the time we get to 2020, we may be looking at a complete revamp of the monetary system. On January 1, 2017, G20 begins sharing all info on everyone. They are collapsing the world economy and it really looks like things will go nuts in 2018.

This is a good time to make sure your crypto house is in.order.  The need for private currency becomes more and more urgent.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

The price rise is a good thing for Monero from many perspectives:

1) As you said, more businesses get interested
2) When a whale needs to buy some expensive drink he doesn't need to crash the price in doing so (only a small number of coins spent will buy anything)
3) Increasing price encourages adoption - better than any advertisements on television or newspapers
4) The development will become more rewarding, thus hurrying things up.
5) No more whining on threads as nobody is underwater (I have not been underwater for loong time)

Perhaps you can come up even more arguments why increasing price trend (bull market) is better than bear market (which is the problem with fiat money in form of inflation).

6) As we are sitting on profits, it becomes more feasible to invest in further XMR project funding and Superbowl halftime ads.
7) Space yachting.

Not just you, everyone kept doing that. Hehe.

I said, "if it goes down much further you might not be hearing from me again, lol". That was a joke about my bad play I made while drunk and stoned and bored at family's. I don't normally use margin.

Then it went up to 370 and I fixed the situation. Then it went back down and I started complaining about the bear whale, as were other people. Apparently some folks get butthurt when you insult their pet whale.

Now I'm just waiting for support to disappear and a big red candle to shoot down to 321 as the manipulators try to force the head and shoulders. The market just feels too manipulated. And yes, I know most of them are.

You are the guy who borrowed recently some coins from me?  Huh

I typically ignore head and shoulders, for the most part. I think it's a very unreliable pattern. However, when I know people are trying to manipulate the price down it becomes a factor since they're probably looking to paint the tape.

People seem somewhat hostile to speculators in the speculation thread.

If you are referring to the public interactions some people had with you in the last week I am not sure if the hostility was directed at speculation itself.

To me it seemed like people were annoyed that you were complaining about whales who in your view were acting sub-optimally with their placement of buy and sell walls.

Your posts did not bother me at all but I can see why some would challenge your objections (to buy and sell wall placement) since in their view speculation (particularly while trading on margin) assumes the risk of the things your were complaining about. Furthermore since each person in the community acts independently, it would not matter if most of the community agreed with you. Those who did not could still place buy and sell walls wherever they wanted as should be the case in a free market.

For the 1 millionth time, you're conflating my previous loss with my later complaint about the whale.

I AM NOT ON MARGIN.

Sorry. It sounds like I did not read all your posts carefully enough and I made an incorrect assumption. Please accept my apology.

I am not a trader but do find your technical analysis interest at times. Please keep posting your thoughts.

No one is actually interested in Monero. Lol.

You were interested enough to make this post. Welcome to the Monero community.
