Yes this is a joke. XMR isn't doing sh*t and every coin around it is rocketing upwards. I think lack of a mobile wallet and the weak Windows wallet is just hurting it and there are newer, "hotter" coins that are shooting upwards. But definitely missing out on the party being in XMR right now.
What will be entertaining is watching all of those rocketing coins around "us" explode when their pumps finish and then gravity kicks in.
These "hotter" coins are going to be just like a hot potato. Don't get caught holding it when the music stops.
Fireworks will be for the patient, popcorn will be free as well.
Stock up.
I had that thought as well, but then BTC started to drop and XMR dropped just like the rest of the alts around it (except for crazy XRP, of course). Oh well, I'm not selling my XMR but the past few weeks have been tough. It just hasn't moved up at all in BTC terms, although it's currently up about 50% in the past two or three weeks in USD terms, so I perhaps I shouldn't be greedy and complain about that too much. But it is has still grossly underperformed crypto, in general, over that period. I know it doubled a few months ago, so maybe it didn't have as much growth "left in the tank".
I dunno, but it's frustrating. I'm not selling though, and at least it isn't as grossly overvalued as something like DASH or XRP, of course.
