Curious, does Obama passing this new crazy Gestapo law have any affect on Monero? 
These types of laws are just going to increase use cases for Monero, etc. and increase BTC mixing sites.

Look at that ridiculous use of "I" and "my". He really does think hes a king doesn't he.
Also be careful of your language. When you say things like "obama is passing a law" you are presupposing that he has constitutional authority to do this. In some sense you are ceding him a sort of legitimacy. These sorts of "executive orders" are completely illegal. It's all just fiat power exercised by a very powerful rogue criminal syndicate.
What are the price points the donations are released?
I bought more btc recently with the intention of hodling it as I was 100% Monero. Half of this new btc has somehow become Monero. It seems I have no control. There is Alcoholics Anonymous, is there Monero Anonymous?
Don't worry about it, I have the same problem haha. Probably one of the better 'problems' to have imho.
And I think Monero is already anonymous enough, I don't think it needs a support group
Once Monero has a GUI, I doubt I will ever use Bitcoin again. Monero will be superior in every possible way. (Except maybe user base and market cap at first, but that can be resolved )
)Ditto. Bitcoin is just transitional.

I too find myself yearning to depend solely on XMR and less on XBT for all my crypto related expenses.

It seems you're right at the spot. I'm macsga; I have to confess that I bought moar. It was an urge. I couldn't help it. I won't guarantee it won't happen again soon. The price is too low for me to resist; I'm sorry.
Thanks for listening (reading)...
Hello, I am True! I bought also some btc today and those have been converted into Moneros at 0.00385...
I did not even have the slightest intention to hold any btc.

Browsing through Polo sell orderbook.
From spot to 0.01 price ~ 1,000 btc's worth of sell orders
From spot to 0.98 price ~ 2,400 (1400 addition bitcoins) btc's worth of Moneros for sale
From spot to 1 price ~ 5,000 btc's worth of Moneros for sale
If something, this is potentially explosive.
Just putting this into perspective: 3,600 new btc are mined every day, and the daily mining requires over 800,000 usd.
Even small increase in the demand will be able to put Monero to fly. Big time.
The biggest resistance (relatively speaking) is at these low price points which indicates that there are still a lot of pessimism among the sellers (they are willing to sell below recent ATH price).

As already said earlier, a lot of sell orders would pop up if price keeps rising.
The price scale you're taking in exemple or so disproportionately far from the current price that it's completely meaningless.
You could say the exact same thing for every shitcoins on poloniex, just because "there is so little bitcoins on the overall sell order book!".
Also many of those coins can disappear from the sell orders if the price starts to move big time.
Not many coins in Polo or whatever is the main exchange of that coin can even potentially have this type of rise.
My point is, quite small money can make a big move in the price (if there is a reason to invest into XMR).

Well, I think bitcoin can possibly become high-enough adoption and high-enough market-cap to serve as a check on fiat money; ie, if/when govs get too reckless with their currencies, wealth will flow to bitcoin and disincent the reckless behavior.
That happens by more and more people using and holding bitcoin. Bitcoin being legal to use/hold in most parts of the world is probably necessary for significant adoption, at least on <50yr timescales.

Gold was made legal tender (against silver) in the 1870s. It took - in addition to all the history of mankind - I think 15 years of active accumulation of gold and selling silver by the bankers, before they could be sure they had the gold in their control.
And then the golden era of 1870-1913 started with so much new gold production, they could not be sure any more. And then the gold confiscation and outlawing of 1933, and the IMF, World Bank, BIS, etc with most of the gold of the nations taken to the U.S., and then the theft of all that gold, and the derivatives scheme to control the mining etc. etc. In all probability, 80% of the gold is in banksters' control now.
There is no lack of tricks (start with applying all the above to BTC with modifications necessary) they can use to coerce 80% of all the BTC to their control as well. Their timeframe is longer than ours. It is true that they like BTC more than gold.
ADD: I am speaking truth. A troll was recently summoned to harass me, that is a further confirmation
This has nothing to do with economics or price speculation, but is anyone here a biologist, biochemist, geneticist, etc? Just wondering if it's feasible at all to have the blockchain emulate biological characteristics(Like that of a small animal). I just thought about how a private blockchain such as Monero's would be perfect for such a thing(As the brain, body is "private" until the owner/person wishes otherwise(No one can read your thoughts for example) and not open like a transparent blockchain).
See https://github.com/DavidJohnstonCEO/DecentralizedApplications
Bitcoin is not an experiment. It is a living organism - much like a virus. It mutates.
The blockchain is like its DNA, with us, the market participants, as its ribosomes that read the DNA and eventually craft the proteins so necessary for its function. Organic proliferation is a beautiful thing; a simple time function
Now, to answer your question literally... yes, it's possible, but the latency of writing such an extraordinary amount of information in between each generation would only seem practical in virtual simulation, considering relative time.

He most certainly is as he is employing a Bitcoin service paid in XMR.

Only until the merchants stop getting tired of paying to convert their appcoins, and decide to accept Monero directly. Don't worry someone will build btc.to for the poor schlubs who still hold btc at that point..
That's atypically cocky of you...
I guess it wasn't clear I was being deliberately hyperbolic for effect
guys please take it easy. i know times are crazy, some allready are very in the green, but we are still far far away from all this.
What's wrong with a little mania among friends?
Well, there *is* a "whiff" of it, so to speak. During the Jan 2013 NYDFS BitLicense exploratory panels, Lawsky made some comment to the effect of: "...maybe we need to require that all virtual currencies use a transparent ledger" (paraphrasing). Remember, Zerocash has been on the radar for a while.
In any event, I think Bitcoin kind-of luck-boxed into being something that govs can accept. There's some quote from Satoshi where he basically outlines something akin to ring-signatures as a desirable design, but didn't have an implementation for it. If he had, and Bitcoin had been launched with native robust privacy, I fear it's path would've been *much* more difficult. As is, I think it's path is workable and probably leads to much higher market cap. Some people around here seem to underestimate the degree to which truly aggressive widespread multi-government legal action would curtail adoption and value.

I thought Bitcoin goal was replace nation-states not negotiate its co-existance with status quo
Anyway, I have yet to find a sound argument that makes Monero less law-abiding than Bitcoin, except in the scenario everyone using Bitcoin is required to have its ID linked to his address in order to transact with other persons or business so everything can be tracked forever, in this scenario Monero wins tremendously more.Well, I think bitcoin can possibly become high-enough adoption and high-enough market-cap to serve as a check on fiat money; ie, if/when govs get too reckless with their currencies, wealth will flow to bitcoin and disincent the reckless behavior.
