There are quite a few rumblings out there now about "Privacy". 

There is a notable possibility that Privacy might see a very sharp rise in demand as we move into a world in which a lack of privacy is allowing us to be controlled.

Sprinkle a little hype about in the form of something like "privacy season" or some such silly business?

Weeeeeee.

I never met or chatted with rpietali (Risto Pietilä), but I did read quite a bit about his crypto-journey.

If you are interested in rpietila's story, here's an obituary written by Risto's long time friend and a business associate.

It's in Finnish, but Google-translate does a decent job if you just ctrl+c & ctrl+v.

Also, the Finnish Wikipedia page (for what it's worth):
https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risto_Pietil%C3%A4

Thanks! Very interesting reading.

As I would see it, monero has during all its trade history been a rangebound coin. Almost certain Rpitila has every one of the numbers to do this in the event that he hasn't done as such as of now. The assets of the previous gathering are monitored, while the assets of the last option bunch are scattered because of misfortunes by blackmail, burglary, and misrepresentation.

I am not sure why you are mentioning Pietilä. He died few years ago.

Do you have a source for this? Not questioning what you're saying but would be interested in knowing what happened.


I remember seeing the news  about the car crash leading to his death in Finnish media at the time, but I couldn't find the news article anymore. Finnish wiki page also states that he died on 14.8.2020. His FB page was always (still is) public too and there is an "in memoriam" message.

I found a news article (in Finnish) which is supposedly about the events leading to the accident. However I don't know if it is truly about Pietilä's case since no name is mentioned. Google translated news article below:

Thank you. That was him - TPTB_need_war

I wonder whatever happened to him?



Last id seen he went and made a website @ a site levels.fi or something, continued on ever forward with .. whatever it was he was on about. Then i tuned out from that for a while and the last id seen was involved in a head on collision. There was a few stories on it you might have to search on finnish google for it to show up though gl.

Long time since I've been here. Had a few drinks tonight and got to thinking.

Does anyone remember the handle of the guy who used to post here many years ago - he was a little crazy but clearly very clever. His health was bad and I had a feeling he lived in Asia. He knew a lot about Monero. Had plans for creating his own currency but they never worked out. Used to argue with ArticMine a lot. His handle was something to do with War/Revolution/Big Brother. I can't remember.

Any ideas? Between him and rpietila it was a wild time.

THE MONERO MOON (ISSUE 34) IS OUT NOW!

Grab a coffee or a beer and kick back for a read. Like, share, and spread the word of Monero as it continues to grow and offer unmatched financial privacy.

Is that the 4hour chart?

Those are 6 hour candles.

Well then... we busted up.

6h



So seems to me the clear next resistance line that has seen action for over a full year is ~ 0.0054 ish.

Seems to me Monero's price action is often erratic and irrational.  I think there are two reasons for this:

1.  It is still a thinly traded market.  Even as one of the more used crypto projects it still is not traded like bitcoin, quite yet.  So whales and manipulators can yank it around more.

2.  "Paper Monero" is a thing.  Because of Monero's inscrutability it is easier for exchanges to play games.  We can see what Bitfinex holds in their Bitcoin wallets.  So we can see if they are allowing naked shorting.  This is NOT TRUE with monero where naked shorting may  be a nasty side effect of its killer feature.

That said...  Monero is clearly painting an intweresting chart, with an ascending broadening triangle.  This is usually a bearish pattern which will often break down.  But I have a feeling Monero is trying pretty hard right here to brek up again like it did a week or so ago...  Another "advantage" of the thinly traded market is the reliability of chart patterns it not really that good.  So we could see this predicted outcome be invalidated by an aggressive move up.  Sure seems like it wants to.

The lightbulb for me was this:

Monero did something that Bitcoin did not.  Something fundamental and astoundingly useful. But it was a different set of tradeoffs.  And I came to the conclusion that this was a use-case that had an excuse to be.  AND did something that took away some of Bitcoin's properties.  I never saw it as Bitcoin=Bad Monero=Good.  I saw them as complimentary.

Anyway, I am surprised to this day so few of us take that position, but that is neither here nor there.

My thougt is this:  A certain percentage those awakening to Bitcoin and why it is important are going to stumble across Monero and why it is different just like we did.  I mean they already know about NFTs, and many are seeing why that is just the wrong thing to be focusing on right now.  But a certain number of these hundreds of millions who are now seeing Bitcoin for what it is are going to realize why Monero matters.




I heard about BTC around 2012 but I didn't think much of it then.  All I knew was that it was this 'anonymous currency' that was used at DNM's and I thought 'cool'.  I got in the next year when I bought my first coins around May 2013 only to find out that BTC was either private or anonymous.  Rofl.  I'm like wtf everything is traceable.  But I really didn't care then since I was here more for the trading aspect.  Cared about it more when I saw Fluffy's presentation around mid 2016 and started buying some then more the year after that.

No maxi will admit it but XMR is surely the most important progression in crypto after BTC.

Monero is on recovering mode in current market. According To coinmatketcap if we saw the chart of 7 days we will clearly see that XMR is trying to Make bullish line.
Market is hardly volatile and all coins down very much. I think when bitcoin stable it can easily rock ti 2x .
