Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 156. (Read 3314350 times)

Longer term potentially. This new CLSAG is about ready to deploy now, pending code and cryptography audits.

Yes - there's a good chance Monero will eventually move to zk snarks, starks, or other.

What about the idea of integrating Microsoft's (lol) ZK techniques?  That is a thing too, yes?

And/or possibly larger ring size for improved fungibility (with the existing transaction size, or a smaller reduction). How to make use of the improvement in deployment hasn't been decided.

Is it True?

Yup with this https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/654  Monero will, most likely only the next year, become 25% faster and have 20% cheaper transactions and blockchain size growth. I guess it will also help to move 20-25% more to bottom ten

Looks like it might drop to the bottom ten!

When will the monero come back to the top 10?

yessir XMR was forked from BCN so polo goes and "geofences" BCN yet leafs XMR for us Stateside? hmm    you see what i'm sayin' bruh?

You are that lazy you can't even give us a 'Weeeeeee' now?  WTF?

It was a code fork, not a coin created by a hard fork.

~Monero was literally forked from bytecoin you n00b! ..where is the logic behind this??hmm    lmfaooo #geofencing

Nothing wrong with those reasons.
The dark web has its good side.  I forget who said "you can't get knifed buying drugs on the web" or something to that effect.  And dark web drug bazaar seller rating systems means good drugs.  You don't want to end up like some meth head in Gary, Indiana who lost his teeth to caustic meth cooked in a trailer park.  Arguably, when a dark bazaar like Silk Road gets taken down, it means more deaths due to drug impurities and violence.
And "hiding your wealth" isn't illegal per se.  I don't want Fat Vinny and his crew knowing where I keep my benjamins or my Monori.

Monero is bullush for 2 reasons, not good ones but anyway.. As the leading privacy coin it will be used for dark purchasing whether is via the dark web or P2P monero will be there as one of the payment choices. Also, people who wish to hide their wealth will store it in monero rather than BTC

Monero is one of the coins that is definitely not a security. As for it's privacy features:

when does poloniex geofence monero? ( xmr )    lol

Well no I'm speculating "in general" about "crypto in general" over the mid-to-longterm future.

No idea as of yet about SPECIFIC coins (even tho this IS the monero forum and I still *DO* believe in HoneyPony!)

But overall what I mean about this is just the overall general trend since Satoshi first launched the original BTC blockchain.

no value to a penny (10x)
penny to a dime (10x)
dime to a dollar (10x)
dollar to $10 (10x)
$10 to $100 (10x)
$100 to $1000 (10x) <--- my first rodeo LOL
$1000 to $20,000 <--- my second rodeo but the one I fucked up BOTH of 'em after... doh!
And, BTW, which IMHO was a double-overshoot: should've peaked about HALF of last cycle!
Too much hype/manipulation more than usual?? Maybe 'cuz of fucking Tether???

So... "you-are-here" now...?

And, Future?

SOMETHING... some coin... maybe BTC? Maybe NOT?  Will "retake" $10,000??

Then...

$10,000 to $100,000 <--- my THIRD rodeo, which I hope *this time*...?  I won't fuck it all up!!!!

And maybe finally...?

$100,000 to the mythical $1 Million Per Coin, global adoption and use by everyone, transactions priced in 0.00000001 satoshi-as-penny usage.

That final one IF and WHEN it can ever happen, would be my FOURTH rodeo here so hopefully by then fully experienced and knowledgable enough to really NOT FUCK IT UP by the time the Fat Lady really finally SINGS.

Again as for IF this will be "BTC" or not, or XMR, or BCH (don't shoot me!) or something ELSE totally unexpected out of left field?  Who Da Fuck KNOWS???

What are you counting as the most recent ATH? $450? So you're expecting the next ATH of ~$4500 by 2020? That would be nice, but seems unlikely.
But what do I know? I predicted $175 for New Years Day.

Leg down is always possible. But better name for it would be a bear trap. And would bounce back to levers where we are right now really fast. Bear trap is an option, but I would not bet on in.

Welcome back, KeyJockey.

Well the crypto winter ended (effectively) in December with BTC dropping to $3122.

Since then BTC has seen a decent recovery and accumulation phase as I am sure you can see.   A real 'alt season' has not really kicked off yet, with BTC dominance mostly increasing since the start of the year (it was over 60% not too long back). However, green shoots are appearing - so your timing is about right.

Certainly Monero at over $90 is better than sub $40 as XMR was in December, but while keeping up respectably well in USD terms, against BTC it hasn't really performed yet - probably due to the stage of the cycle IMHO.

With BTC slipping back into a mid-50s percentile dominance-wise, it looks like alts are waking up - and XMR is sitting mid-table in performance terms, having lost less than most during the crypto winter.  Institutional fund money when and if it comes may buy a top-20 basket of CC to help out, but whatever happens it looks fairly obvious big-caps are largely doing better than minor alts.

For me, it's not a time to sell XMR and it is still sitting at no. 12, or 13 in market cap, in spite of stable coins and platforms taking spots all over the top 20.   

'Real private money' - Monero's use case (and dominance for privacy) does not really need arguing any more.

I'd say: Sit tight, keep a balance in BTC and XMR - and tread very carefully if you feel like going elsewhere in the wonderful world of crypto, many alts are on life-support at best.
