If you are a long term bitcoin-holder and believe Monero will do fine in the future (with probability high enough), then the following might suit for you:

1) Put aside the bitcoins you want to sell at the next btc ATH. Consider also how many bitcoins you want to sell for buying back later when the rally is over.
2) All the rest into XMR
3) Enjoy the ride and tell others to join in also.  Grin
4) Become a millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire etc

However, as I said, this is a plan which works the best when everything goes as planned. If everything doesn't go as planned, this is pretty risky business. If Monero fails, the only ones that are going to buy Moneros are those few shorters who happen to have some open positions.

I am a big believer in both BTC and XMR

However I don't think it is ever a good idea to put all your eggs in one or two baskets

Diversification seems like a better approach.  

I have very little btc (only some I am lending in Polo for traders + some dust in my wallet).
So I am not a big believer of bitcoin despite I think it will be a decent investment still. However, I believe Monero is even better so that's why I am invested more heavily in xmr.

Besides this, I have a few appartments that I am renting out. In stock markets I am not currently as I feel they have risen too much way too fast.
Also I own shares from a couple start-ups so I am not putting all my eggs into one basket but I have to admit I like Monero very much though.

i dont think we have one, maybe one big Behemoth..
btw great list, should fit nicely for the next few months Smiley

lets see how much action we get the coming days, looks promising for now. xmr is so small compared..it feels undervalued for now, at least to me Grin

If XMR stays perfectly fungible, then we have a serious contender for a great store of value on our hands.  People who risk big early may be massive winners in the long run.

For the long haul even 100 usd/xmr is a bargain.
How many of us wants a source of bitcoins for 100 usd/btc?

Around 9,5k of incredibly well priced xmr left. Opportunities like these are slimming down.

Would be a good play to rollover some ltc/nmc/ppc profits into xmr right now before the ano-cycle kicks off again.

my 3rd eye can see us jump together with btc if all conditions are right. anon coins clearly have their own cycles. bad news is we might take dash with us, but no problem.
somone is accumulating aggressivley right now with no worries causing a spike if needed. if another whale or two jump in the situation might get exciting.
if we go up together with btc this will be legendary, you will need to remind me to stay cool Smiley Smiley 0.004 @ 500 and i would be a very happy man.




yeah, i'm looking at this also...
It's about the average buy in price in fiat for a lot of people I guess.

not for me, mine is lower, but I did sold some gold for BTC at 500 and bought XMR with that around 0.004, so I will be happy if we reach it again. Smiley

Considering that there are no "born whales" (premine) and the incentive to buy more goes down after you already have so much that you cannot exit at market,

20% = Cthulhu (probably does not exist)
10% = Leviathan (likely max 1)
5% = Behemoth (1-2)
1% = Whale (~10)
0.5% = Pocket whale
0.1% = Shark/Dolphin (depends on your trading aggression)

To adjust a large position, the market can only bear about 2500 XMR/day buy/sell pressure. This means that it takes month(s) for a whale to enter/exit a position completely, and the whole lifespan of the currency to amass a Leviathan+ sized amount. Only sharks can efficiently daytrade.

USD amounts are very small, so if new whales want to be born, we will be able to see it Wink

Thanks for sharing this analysis. Can you provide more detail like last time (you had a spreadsheet). I am interested in the approximate total number of current Monero holders more than how many coins the top holders own.

I am eager for the Mobile wallet to make sharing small amounts of XMR with friends easy for everyone and increasing the user base.

How many new people do you think crypto kingdom has the potential to attract?

Can someone explain this video to me?

It is supposed to be about how LTC is being promoted in China
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/leaked-video-explained-the-recent-pump-of-litecoin-1115157

Maybe there will be some good ideas for how XMR can be promoted there
I did not check out your links but ltc was being "promoted" as a ponzi.

To get in you had to buy 500 ltc.

Have you seen the ltc charts today?

Yeah we don't want that kind of promoting. Just like LTC, though, we can't really stop it from happening if someone tries it.


Then there is really no chance to reach any meaningful highs.
Pumping the coin is the only way the marketcap grows. Sure there will be a dump but we only can hope that there are enough open shorts when the dump starts so that the price and marketcap will end up being higher than pre-pump.
If there will be no artificial pump, the price pretty much stays as it is now or declines if the current fish species will not start competing with each others to reach the Leviathan status or even a whale status.

The bad thing about the pump is it will cause some people burned.  Undecided Like those who bought bitcoins at 1000 usd - most likely they will never get in profit, however I wish I am proven wrong in this.

Right...I'm not talking about a pump; I don't care personally if you or anyone else wants to "pump" XMR.

What I don't support is "pumping" via a Ponzi scheme.

Thanks for the translations. Letting everyone know about Monero is a good thing but ponzi schemes are not.  The future for Monero is bright based on what we have in the pipeline already
