Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 258. (Read 3314316 times)

He reminds me of the boys who would sit at the back of the class and make jokes at the expense of others. Boys who have an overwhelming need for applause and attention.

I suspect it's my age. I can't get my head around the idea that spending one's time and energy on Twitter in order to indulge in the current circle jerk, is a proper use of a grown man's day.

And yes, I understand he's not the leader of Monero. I understand he's free to do as he wants and that it's too fucking bad if I don't like it.

I still think it's juvenile and serves little purpose.

Coinbase is a step to mainstream, the quicker Monero can get to the common man the safer it is. It is like when TPTB want to kill you, they demonize you first and then no-one cares when you die.

Do not make light of attempts to isolate Monero from users, that is what will make it weak. It's better to prove to the people that the CypherPunk attitude is the one they should be adopting.

True that, it's just a store of value and stock for the institutional investors to play with now and if they don't get some form of fungability in there then it will be worthless for the common man soon.

Basically all I see this doing is pushing Moneros timeline back a few years but when it pops out on its own it will explode and not return. Which is not a big deal as all the original holders have all made their investment returns (except idiots like me and those that got scammed).



Well he has been distancing himself but it looks like hes typecasted.

Disagree. Do you really think monero belongs with the likes of Cardano, Basic attention token, Stellar Lumens? Zcash is right at home in that line up. I'm very skeptical Balaji Srinivasan or Brian Armstrong could even explain what blockchains are useful for. Zooko Wilcox is right at home in that clown car.


Any user who needs coinsbase support doesn't need monero anyway.

Fluffy is staying true to the cypherpunk ideals, with a metaphorical "fuck you" to that special snowflake CTO of coinbase. I wouldn't have it any other way. If monero starts cozying up to these corporate interests, I'd dump my holdings and go back to bitcoin.

Sure, I'd like some volatility from a nice pump and dump, but you don't have to engage with a community to speculate on shit coins. Feel free to trade Zcash and roll the profits into monero.

So you think he should get few more dogs to spend more time walking them and less for Twitter?

I wish to fuck FP would stay off Twitter sometimes. He's never as funny as he thinks he is.

I'm pretty sure there are smart people out there who will build the tools to get around the problem.  I mean it's that kind of motivation that we have Bitcoin and other good crypto imo.

did monero https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero went down because of the zcash announcement
if so i think we will see correctional son

I'm as disappointed as all of you that Coinbase didn't have the bollocks to add Monero.

It does seem that we aren't getting the wind in our sails, things like Ledger integration (which would have brought a 2/3x in 2017) seemed to slowly crawl to release without the market giving a fuck.

Even with the bear taken into account, It's a hard time to hold Monero.

I think it's worth remembering now that Monero is a true decentralised, crypto-anarchist cryptocurrency.
I actually think it might be the only one left.

Even Bitcoin is treated more like a derivative instrument than an anarchocapitalist currency these days.

I guess what I'm trying to articulate is that we should be proud of what Monero has come to stand for, it's values and it's veracity as a real grassroots movement, with ideological goals and integrity.


Monero now is quite like Bitcoin in 2013, and I believe it's capable of the same price movements, based solely on the fundamental properties I describe above and it's viciously aggressive emission curve alone.


That said there is so much noise out there today that maybe Monero might struggle to be heard and reach the levels it should.
The more maligned Monero is by the powers that be (EU/US/CB/BigBiz) the more obvious it is that Monero is a pure cryptocurrency.

Sadly I'm not sure if I can recommend Monero as a good trade to friends anymore, but I sure as fuck am not fucking selling.
Worst case owning Monero becomes a badge of honour and a symbol of defiance in this disgustingly corrupt orwellian shithole we all live.

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Maybe it will disappear when you stop looking at it?

Lol

Developer activeness will decide fate of this coin

Interesting reddit discussion - If XMR was banned from all exchanges, could and would XMR still exist?  

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/8yft01/if_xmr_was_banned_from_all_exchanges_could_and/

I'm pretty sure if one country or a number of counties ban Monero, then some other country will take advantage of it, make use of the tech, and gain an edge over the countries that banned it.  IMHO.

and cannot occur: there are almost 200 different countries on planet earth

agreed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

a global worldwide ban on something has never occurred before I think

I would say Bitcoin was dead before Hal Finney started using it. So when only Satoshi was all alone. As soon there are two people using a decentralized crypto currency it is alive.

Price wise any baning will just publicly expose Monero and price would and probably will increase.  

CLI v0.12.3.0 released!

Such sweet idea That would be very nice. At least for us.
Monero banned everywhere...
And only our exchange live, coz we cannot be banned. 

Define "die".
I guess cryptocurrency die when it's development has stopped and there is noone using that currency. And I really doubt this could be the case in Monero, it will probably be used all the time. At least until it will hold n.1 (I think it does now) position among private cryptocurrencies. I think a cryptocurrency just needs one "exchange" where you can buy it for FIAT. This can also be a forum or any other type of communication channel where people who are interested in buying/selling crypto.
Similar website as LocalBitcoins - https://localmonero.co (just made for Monero, obviously).
