Circle's Monero onramp is about the biggest news for the adoption of the currency as I can remember.

Interesting view. Circle's Monero onramp for sure is important and such chance for adoption things usually move price, not the tech improvements, but it seems not in Monero anymore. Altho you cant move your bought XMR from Circle, it will still help people buy Monero for speculative reasons. At crypto fewer times like late last years most people do exactly that. So this is a really important event for the next Bitcoin ATH when new hordes of speculators will try to buy their share of crypto heaven. Yes would be nice if we would have Monero on Coinbase until then.

Circle's Monero onramp is about the biggest news for the adoption of the currency as I can remember. And I kinda go back a ways...

I think the price action right now considering this is a real sleeper. Very typical of XMR.

No worries though. Price action is fickle and fairly meaningless in the short term...

I held Monero some time after the dark markets announcements, but it does feel surreal to have someone like Circle take Monero on. XMR as usual doesn't seem to react much to these types of centralized markets. When Japanese exchanges dropped privacy coins, XMR didn't fall. I personally think that's good news for XMR, though. Typical, like you said, and in the big picture, meaningless.

The fact that Circle thinks that offering Monero does not infringe upon its BitLicense, is very positive news for Monero. At the very least, it removes (at least in theory) yet another obstacle toward Coinbase adoption. After all, if Kraken can offer it on its exchange without legal hindrance and Circle can offer it without BitLicense problems, what other objections can there be?

That app is terrible, way way worse than coinbase. I don't expect it to be a large fiat channel, because it hides fees in higher prices and lacks withdraw/deposit features. Hopefully they realize their stupidity and employ properly their VC money.

Last week, we welcomed Zcash to the coin family on Circle Invest. Today, we continue to grow our coin collection by supporting Monero as our new listed crypto asset. This brings our investable crypto assets to a total of 7 coins, making Circle Invest one of the only platforms you can invest instantly and seamlessly in the widest breadth of coins by using your bank account.

Wow, GoldmanSachs goes Monero! Cheesy

That was obvious. Why would they want that some competitor check all their past transactions. GoldmanSachs cant use transparent ledger blockchains.

Can anybody give me the TLDR on the assumed double spend that happened recently? I'm pretty sure it's nothing to panic about but still interested on what really went down...

The only scarry part for me about Monero is Monero forks. I don't want to see forks in Monero blockchain. Bitcoin did a lot of forks and I never liked them. Forked ones are useless garbages. Monero is already perfect itself.

Luckily I doubt that we will see any of them gain traction (unlike Bitcoin cash).

Xmr being banned on more and more exchanges, what do u guys think about that?
It looks like we found a bottom at 240 usd... that’s ok but it’s still x4 to 1000 like many believe
It will reach. Let’s see ...

Links for that Roll Eyes

Sorry, here u go

https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/05/04/japanese-fsa-discriminating-anonymous-cryptocurrencies-shows-why-decentralized-exchanges-are-needed/

There is no ban in Japan, just a recommendation by the FSA(Financial Services Agency) and so far no one has followed it. From your linked article:

“Unfortunately, Coincheck and Monex already delisted all three currencies a while ago. So far, they are the only companies to do so.”

So, two exchanges delisted XMR (and others) but not related to this FSA recommendation because it was before that.
So writing “XMR banned on more and more exchanges” is clearly exaggerated for dramatic effect.

Also the coincheck (and perhaps Monex) delisting is probably related to the coincheck hack (as I’ve read somewhere). Something about them bring afraid that the privacycoins could be used to obfuscate the stolen NEM. Perhaps that decision even influenced the FSA in their recommendation.

Nothing worrying for me then Grin

I hope those fucking dopes do ban it. It means it works. It's the biggest, juiciest, stamp of approval they could possible give.

This is the issue... People think that a Monero with:

* 1. A supply **less** than BTC till 2040!
* 2. Complete privacy and fungibility
* 3. Elastic blocks

Is somehow worth 2.7% of a Bitcoin.

(or 3% at 0.03).

I don't. You guys can keep selling at these prices but I think it's really just slowing the inevitable. Monero under 10% of BTC is cheap af.

Eventually the market will move against this inequity and people will say, "Wow, I don't understand why XMR went bananas" - I won't be one of those people.

I think that Monero is the leader among the anonymous coins. And thanks to this, Monero will become very popular. People want to be safe in the crypto world, so they are interested in this coin.

never used bisq only paradex. how does it work regarding wallets? on paradex you can use metamask but i dont think metamask supports monero or any other non erc20 tokens for that matter.

so i guess my question is about if bisq is safe to use? got quite a big stack of moneros i really dont want to risk losing

The base currency in Bisq is BTC, so there is no "home currency" acting as fuel (unlike other Decentralized EXchanges). I like this solution. When you buy BTC with XMR, the seller sends you BTC to a BTC wallet within Bisq (from which you control the private key, so it's really yours). Funds are locked in a multisig wallet until both parties confirm they received the funds. You can get more info at https://bisq.network/faq/ or make a small transaction to better understand the process.

It's not the perfect solution though as volume is low, it's slow and quite expensive. But I didn't find a good DEX for Monero. Of course, there are also Shapeshift and xmr.to which are private but still centralized.

Are you guys really trading XMR on centralized exchanges?? If not, what system are you using?

okay sounds kind a meh

im using poloniex for monero while i mostly keep them as collateral and trade on margin. works like a charm
