The last 5 hours or so have been... interesting.  Surely anything loose has been shaken out under such volatility! 1 more hour before it flips one way or the other.

Why red?? Whats wrong

Ok I get it someone dumped and others took the chance of cheaper coins. Come on guys 45min to go, I have faith in Fluffy

Seems to me this fluctuation is fairly standard.  There are lots of reasons for it.

  • pre-emptive "sell on news" action
  • big shorts being opened and sold at the "top" before the announcement
  • natural correction from a fiarly hot price rise

The money question is obviously where is it going next.  Well that depends somewhat on Spagni's announcement.  But the fact is XMR is still overdue for the participation it really deserves in the alt rally  as a legitimate, useful project with real world use.

Let's just hope we see some of that before alt bubbles pop as well as muted volatility in XMR when they do.

I used to feel unconfortable with selloffs like this. But they happen so often, these days I just open a beer and laugh at the red candles Cheesy

LOL, when I see those dumps I laugh and rewatch this. Cheesy

... insignificant  value compared to just being their, bags full, when the moves come.
Tz-tz-tz aminorex, I know this is a speculation thread going through an exciting period, but one must not throw away proper spelling, must he not? I'm only mentioning this because I know you'll appreciate it.

Hacked account or excitement slipping through you be the judge. Cheesy

A note to everyone jumping onboard for a pump and dump: Monero doesn't do that.  If you dump, you will probably find yourself coming back later, only to find your next buy to be half the size of your last buy.  Okay I admit there have been two spikes which retraced,  but since then Bitcoin has doubled.  How many people who sold at 2016’s ATH would be twice as wealthy today if only they had simply held through thick and thin, fair and stormy alike?  I daresay the overwhelming majority.  Don't be distracted by shiny Dunning-Krugerrands.  Stack your Monero gradually, persistently and you may end up like Warren Buffett (but younger prettier and more righteous).   Throw your chips on red, and you will end up like all the other nameless bums on the park benches who gambled away baby's milk money.

I can attest to this, had to sell at $20 and missed spike again. Cheesy

I was actually hoping to buy a couple extra Monero before the announcement, but I literally can't buy Bitcoin right now.
Coinbase is having issues with their site, Bitstamp wants a ton of documents, Kraken has been verifying my Level 1 account since yesterday...

People hoping to get into bitcoin aren't going to pay crazy fees or deal with some random person on a forum.
It seems like the ability to convert fiat to crypto (and vice versa) is still the biggest hurdle to investing these days...

Fuck kraken, they busted my balls on my picture and you can't buy with usd there from US so they suck.

Ha, I didn't want to say, not like him!

Besides, 'he that hath no sin, cast the first stone' and all that - I am typo-tastic at times.  Probably his phone did it Wink

Gotta love the volume - nearly 25K BTC today....

And the price is tasty and looking restless, sweet and compelling.  Hard not to watch - who dares look away?

Funny you should say that... as somebody took a dump on our party!

Yep - and I did look away, went to gab some food and stuff with the g/f!

Not sure if it's a dump, or just a healthy correction, I reckon not lower than 0212 before a bounce back - too much support and news still to come.

But what do I know?
