After reaching lowest price in BTC after 26 months Monero went to 90 USD. what a crazy times we live in. Smiley



Maybe we will not see an correction in BTC price. It could walk to the side for sometime waiting for some altcoin goes up. Everyone have jumped on BTC after the recent news, but mostly of people decided to go back and buy serious project at cheap prices.

I finally took the initiative to figure out how to get SV off my Trezor to buy more XMR. electronSV is crap and blames everyone else including hardware manufacturers for why the app doesn't work properly. Apparently no one takes them seriously....

Now if we can just figure out how to withdraw from binance. Smiley

When 2038?

Flipped. Cheesy


... Looks like BTC is cooling off?

Will we see increase now?

Cooling off? I don’t think I’ve seen a rise as substantial as this is ever before...

As for Monero, who pumped it?... my 2 year bid was so close....


Yes yesterday Bitcoin looked like an altcoin. At some point it had 15% daily increase. I have not saw any such statistic but would love to see how many days in past had higher growth then it was yesterday. 

For Monero and other alts I dont believe there will be any substantial growth toward Bitcoin until there will be totally clear that days similar as yesterday will not repeat. Well, unless something interesting happens.

The flippening is upon us:



We should not let them catch us. They already have more views then we do. Why they want also more posts? Greedy bastards Montengran!

At least monero has overtaken dash to become the top privacy coin in crypto. The question is whether or not it can retain the title as dash has a habit of rising above during a bull run.

People often like to purport that Monero will inevitably get banned. However, the new FinCEN guidance is basically inconsistent with that notion. From the CoinCenter article:

Quote
Section 4.5.3 states that exchanges are not per se banned from using privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies but will need to comply with the same BSA regulations they comply with for typical cryptocurrencies. We believe that this is possible. Exchanges need to know their customers but they do not have a black letter law requirement to know the customers of their customers. In other words, a bank needs to know who you are but they are not obligated to know the name and address of people that you pay using cash you withdraw from your account.

https://coincenter.org/entry/fincen-s-new-cryptocurrency-guidance-matches-coin-center-recommendations

Arguably, this is long-term bullish for Monero.

Another investment you can make is into crypto art.
How about my new funded XMR-giftcards? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-funded-025-xmr-monero-collectible-giftcard-feat-moonbits-22128-left-5140464


And to make this less of a shill post:
Yeah, XMR @ a little over 0.01 is quite juicy imho. Unless Bitcoin manages to implement similar (level1) privacy and fungiblity features (which seems less and less likely as time goes on), Monero will always have a place in the crypto space.
Personally I see it in the 10% range of BTC in the long run, but that's just me.

Nice looking work.

And you and I see this pretty much identically.  We are obviously in the stage of crypto that people are catching up with the idea that almost all alt coins are useless at best and most are scams.  There are a very few with utility and I think you have nailed the reason why Monero hangs around.  Some people like Howard Chu (lmdb/monero dev) think Bitcoin is flawed without layer 1 fungibility and Monero takes it's place.  Much respect to him, but I don't think so.. I think your idea is more right.  And 10% is a pretty good number.

Novogratz agrees. He recently predicted that altcoins will be left behind for a while for this reason. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-10/crypto-surges-novogratz-sees-bitcoin-above-20000-within-18-months

I love my Monero maximalist brothers, but I don't see Bitcoin leaving the #1 spot. The BTC devs want a non-fungible Bitcoin that governments can feel warm and fuzzy about. For that reason, no effective anonymity solutions will be added to the base layer of Bitcoin. Even without privacy, Bitcoin marketcap won't be challenged by any other coin unless there's a catastrophe. It's the Schelling Point of crypto.

With that said, Monero is actually in a pretty good market position. It's the undisputed king of privacy coins and doesn't really compete with Bitcoin. Monero may be emerging as the Schelling Point of privacy coins.

Mike Novogratz actually holds a significant amount of Monero. Quoting myself:

Reminder that Galaxy Digital (Mike Novogratz' firm) holds a significant amount of Monero:

They are, as far as I know, quite influential as well, which will hopefully benefit Monero eventually too.

Alts, including monero, have been utterly crushed. But they'll be back, at least monero will be!

Once you see the maximalist claiming victory and all the noobs running towards Bitcoin, that's when the fun begins.

It's not even debatable, layer 1 can never be as secure as layer 2.

That is just a technological fact.
