Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 240. (Read 3314316 times)

I think that this is not to optimistic for following reasons:
- we saw that height like this are possible on BTC
- smaller blockchain size then BTC atm (I assume size is growing faster then BTC's, any estimations when this could happen?)
- privacy focused
- good (IMO better then BTC's) community
- smaller supply (is there any estimations when XMR will over come BTC's supply?)
- IMO better HODLers then BTC's (we will see about this in next bull run)
- if you consider privacy I think XMR's utillity value is bigger then BTC's
- cool logo
Would love to be corrected on this reasons!
But of course no one can predict the future. Don't put to much in crypto as one bug/vulnerability can send price to 0.

When fear is at max, the legend is back . Welcome back aminorex

Multiply hash rate times transaction volume and divide by emission. Extrapolate linearly.

Yeeeaaaahhhh, i think we will at least see the 0,05's in the remember season 

Remember, remember the pump in September

Nice advice, beeing careful and mature, still i would wait for the mid of september, historically this is a month with serious gains 

Is this significant money to your life and/or quality of life?

If so I would suggest that you take some off the table and stash it in something a lot less volatile. Whatever you want to do there is up to you. Could be fiat, gold, quality (not speculative) land, really anything.

Yeah, you should have done this eight months ago, but since you did not, don't compound the mistake by refusing to do it now.

This does not mean dumping all your XMR, cryptos, etc. It means exactly what I said. Take some off the table and reduce risk so that you are still in decent shape in case crypto does not work out, or even eventually works out but remains in a painful bear market for far longer than anyone expects or is prepared for.

If this is is not significant money to your life then just carry on with the speculation as you see fit.

My 2c.

That's bad to hear, i hope your emergency situation is cleared by now! So you want to get 10k Moneroj? I can help you with one Monero if you like 
And yes, anonymity for assets is the best place to stay, even in front of all eyes where everybody watches, but doesn't know what they are looking at 

Any news from rpietila? Haven't heard form him quite a while now... I hope he is ok and doing fine with his kids and his family!

Crypto is all high risk, but BTC is probably the lowest risk in the category. You'll have to assess your own risk tolerance, etc.

As generic financial advice, I'd recommend a crypto portfolio that consists of at least 50% BTC.


Monero has been sliding against BTC, but holding it's own against everything else. In fact, it's gotten back into the CMC top 10 during this crypto winter.

I figure if Bitcoin can hit 20k then Monero is worth more as far a fundamentals go so eventually that info will be out in the public domain. right now the media is trying to discredit Monero just like they did to bitcoin (saying its a criminal coin). And the sheep of course listen and sell and the wolfs are sitting back and accumulating at these prices. you can easily test this just by trying to place a buy just above the current buy price and you will watch the bots jump up in front of you and continue their wash trading as they try to drive the price down. Once the price rises there will be no weak hands left, there just aren't enough coins. Until then we can accumulate what the miners are dumping and wait. And even though KN is a scumbag place, its still a nation state and if its putting it's eggs in this basket then you know it is gonna be supporting this basket. And no-one can tell me 3 letter agencies are not using this to fund off the books OPs. Easily liquid and transferable private currency will always be needed whether its for criminal activity or just to hold you assets. People build vaults for what monero provides at a much lower cost. The only way I see it not skyrocketing is if there is a flaw that can break it or a better alternative comes along and with the massive amount of Developers and just plain monitors It will be very hard to sneak in anything that will break the chain. There have been quit a few suggestions that have had the chance of sneaking in code that have been called out and then vetted. It is the communities job to monitor the progress as well as support. blind support without verification is moronic and for koolaid drinkers and if there are any of those here they need to go become a Dashtard.

xmr price not sustaining now https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/monero/usd

thx for the advice , and i am pretty comfortable holding my coins. i dont need the money, at least not for real emergencys. I do have some thoughts on what i want to do with it but it can wait. WOW , 10K monero... isnt that a bit to optimistic? what would lead to such a massive price

Count the number of available Monero's and then tell me if you want your share. It really comes down to how long are you going to be able to hold before you need to cash out some? If your over exposed then go for it and change a percentage over but if your in long term then I really don't see a difficult choice between the two.


Don't do what I did, I sold my entire stash after 2 years of holding at $1.37 for a real life emergency and figured I could buy back in a month when I had some cash coming in. After 6 months of sideways and then out of no where alpha bay hit and it went up 26 times and I was never able to get back my stack. I have been buying every week including at .032 so I'm not cashing out again if I'm on my death bed before 10K !

Q4 2018 will be very interesting for our Moneroj 

Sadly I remember trading DGC on  Craptsy. For all the shit I give noobs, I really didn't have much more of clue when I first started, and at this point, I find it absurd the amount of things I don't understand and probably won't ever figure out.

Yup.  Remember the likes of Terracoin and Bbqcoin?  Lmao!  But thinking about it now, ICO's and Ethereum tokens/app tokens are more of a scam...  At least some of those coins were distributed kinda fair.

Nothing to add, this is just the way it goes 
I am a noob in crypto, got in the whole thing in 2013, and bought my first XMR in 2014 thanks to the finisch guy living in a silver castle 
Started with a few hundred euro every month to buy BTC and converted it to XMR. I made a lot of mistakes with trading, lost a lot, made it up again and learned how the market is behaving.
In 2015 also made a panic sell (thoughti was wiser than everybody else) that hurt me big time. Recovered from that again and now i am sitting and watching the situation without my pulse gaining even 5 points in this situation. If i look at the RSI we definetly are at the bottom and as kurios already mentioned, XMR is known for recovering fast, so i wouldnt't be surprised if we are getting at RSI 80 ore more with a massive price increase until mid of september.

TLDR: Just HODL, have a cup of tea, relax, and wait for christmas 

Jope, i think Monero will gain a lot of value in the next 2 years if it progresses like this 

I think it was obvious that crypto currencies were highly overpriced/overhyped in December, especially if you compare their speculative and utility value.
As you said Monero is no different then others, but it's utility value is still pretty high (https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/908747/bitcoin-monero-dark-web-Chainalysis-North-Korea-cryptocurrency) compared to others. IMO the bottom price is more important then ATH price. And we will see how low will it go.

The best, stable and anonymous coin. And do not even bother to talk, just keep it as long as possible and you will understand it.
