Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 441. (Read 3313670 times)

Less than 8 hours, apparently.

XMR started growing and already many investors who invest in coin. Therefore the longer the XMR would further go up again, to invest short-term then XMR option is pretty good.

More that I don't see it as impossible.
I have little success predicting what Korea will do, but a ~50% pump over a week seems unremarkable, given the volatility in BTC and XMR lately.  Besides, Johnny Mnemonic said so.

  -looks like litecoin is up ~50% in the last 2 days.  Stranger shit has happened.

425 this weekend?  A big rise.  Would be delighted to see it.

Why do you see that as possible?

I need 390-400 range to get my new laptop out of a dust wallet.  Let's get moving 

$425 by the weekend is within range, but volume has been very low.  Everyone was waiting for BTC Futures excitement?  Not getting too excited until I see a volume spike.

Were only 8% away from there. . Looks good for your wish.

I mean on poloniex

A way-back-machine.  We were there  06 December 

You mean 326460 KRW?  Could happen in minutes just from Brownian motion, at prevailing volatility levels.

A few days of patience, perhaps.

What do we need to see 300 by the End of the year?

Regarding LTC, there is always rotation from larger cap to smaller cap after the larger cap ramps.  The larger the cap, the more of the rotation is captured. The fact that some BTC gains rotate into alts is good for both BTC, which avoids depressing outflows into Fiat, and for the targets.  But probably there is some other catalyst of which I am ignorant.  The rich get richer, and the poor get relatively poorer, as is usual.

Regarding counterfactual ennui, I think that if my method is statistically sound I did the right thing modulo model error, regardless of gain or loss.  And if ideology factored into the process, I placed priority on non-financial factors, so their value needs to be added in to my gains (or to offset my losses). What does it profit a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul?

this works for me:

I have a similar question.

guess we are going to short ltc with xmr as collateral now

Any specific reason why litecoin is still pumping?
I liked it more when the gap between Monero and litecoin was bigger

It has a history, this is important for me because most of the coins actually has no history. They're very primitive ones, yet monero is like a well-developed one that solves the problem of total anonymity of the transactions.

That's a tough one. I did that a lot with Google, in which I never invested. Same with Apple. And of course I do it from time to time with crypto, but in this case it's more like "why didn't I buy more?"

For me it comes down to realizing that I made the best decision at the time with the information that I had, and sometimes that turns out to have been a good decision and sometimes it turns out to have been a bad decision. My lesson learned is that I should get more information before making decisions like these, which is tough because there is so much bad information out there, and I should find more people who consistently make better decisions and emulate them.

There are a few people here whose comments and advice I take seriously since they have an established, verifiable track record. I'm pretty sure you know who those people are also since you've been around awhile and have noted their accuracy rate too. So, I lean on my own research first, and if what they say agrees, then I'm pretty confident. If what they say disagrees with my research, it makes me pause and ponder why we have different conclusions. Either way, at the end I'm the one who has to make the decision, and as long as I can assure myself that I did my due diligence, I find it a lot easier to live with those decisions, right or wrong.

Hey Guys... "philosophical" question for today, LOL - hope it's still enough 'speculation' related not to get deleted off topic 

What's the best way you guys have all found for yourselves to deal with the psychological trap of "what-if-itis" disease, or "If-Only-Ism" thinking patterns?

For lack of a better term, this is the phenomenon of looking BACKWARDS too much at whatever number/quantity or type of other crypto coins that you may have USED TO HAVE, but for whatever reason you DON'T HAVE any more... and now after they've mooned, and you're kicking yourself saying, "Oh man if only I'd not sold or lost or given away XXX of my YYY" etc etc etc.

I'm SURE we all have this disease to some degree or another.  Seems impossible to me that *anyone* involved in crypto at all for any middle to long-term length of time could EVER totally avoid it, right?  Nobody ever gets all the decisions correct 100% of the time.

Overall I'm still way, WAY ahead of where I'd have been, financially in my life, from getting into bitcoin at first over 4 years ago now.  Compared to having just left the money sitting in a bank CD deposit, there's no question it's a huge WIN overall.

But IF ("if only!" LOL) during those 4 years I'd have just HODL'ed more, not traded much (or at all), kept more of certain coins and less of others... I can't shake the thinking that I'd be even *further* ahead today.  Like, pushing on upwards of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars further ahead... 

I ain't complaining, really... most times when you catch me in the correct frame of mind I'm happy to be where things are.  Life is good, overall... no problemo.

But... ya know... goddammnit... sometimes that fucking "what-if-itis" or "If-Only-Ism" disease just *creeps* back into my brain.  It's annoying LOL

So what do you guys do when it comes?  Any quick tips mental gymnastics to banish the demon shadow there? LOL

Do you have to behave like a moronic asshole every time you want to make 'cash'? sjeez, who lives like that?
