It's a bad news in a thread when people start talking about their fantasy dream prices in the future and not what the present reality is.  It reeks of desperation and that is not encouraging.

XMR underperformed in the recent alt mania, but it is still up over 50% in about a week in USD terms, so I'm trying not to complain too loudly.  I wish there was more aggressive active development around this coin, but I still believe in it and I have a large chunk of my funds invested.

The market doesn't seem too enamored by it at the moment.  Maybe that will change or maybe not, but time will tell.

This dump is great. I think it's done by someone who wanted to jump in on the rising Bitcoin price.
Took the opportunity to place a decent buy order. I moved the price up one euro. Sorry for the others who were hoping for cheap monero Cheesy but it's still cheap compared to the 29 euros of yesterday!

The price is still 31 dollar. I think there is no dump.

On Kraken yesterday, the price was above 30 euros briefjly and then settled again at 29 euros. When I got up in the morning it was 25 euros. Instabuy for me because I got a few new Bitcoins out of Ripples pump.

The only caveat to this IMHO is when the ALT bubble bursts that is naturally going to drag XMR with it.  We can only hope that the muted participation in the bubble is matched by the participation in the carnage.

The altcoin bubble will burst for sure. I don't know when it's going to be, looks to me it can all still pump this week. However, I do think that once the altcoin bubble bursts, there is going to be a lot of altcoins who go to the graveyard. I'm pretty sure Monero is going to be one of the altcoins that rises again. (Just like BTC always recovered from its bubbles in 2013 and this year)

I am sure you answered on this question who dumped already yesterday.

I know it is. But the pump happened in 10 minutes. Occam's razor is telling me this is just a pump unless it was someone with REALLY big pockets that got suddenly genuinely interested in Monero.

The guy who bought few hours before with hope for sheeps to follow him dumped when was not much result, since Monero is not just an altcoin that grows extremely without any reason.

You could be right. But usually when BTC makes a move up, there is a selloff of altcoins. A little dip which gets bought back in a matter of time. Or it's a combination of both.

$100+ for Monero, I lost $20,000+ (U.S.D) in a week because I was uninformed and I didn't really understand what Monero was. I didn't think it would come back even stronger. It has been like 6-7 months but I have been proven wrong. I thought the pump and dump last year was over for Monero but never mind, I was foolish. HODL.

P.s HODL! (Hold-On-to-Dear-Life), Whatever, it was only $20,000+, at least wasn't $2,000,000+

Oh yeah Monero at 100 by the end of the month. Mark my words! I bought in after the initial pump and have already made decent gains but I think we will see a $100.00 Monero. HODLING!

Glad to see a sell order like this does not cause a huge panic within Monero holders.

Crap. I missed another dip.

As for panic, XMR is coin I'm least worried about. It actually does something well (fungibility/privacy), has real-world use, and is being used. It's still undervalued. Bagholders of other alts are going to need a lot of antacids when BTC settles down.

The only caveat to this IMHO is when the ALT bubble bursts that is naturally going to drag XMR with it.  We can only hope that the muted participation in the bubble is matched by the participation in the carnage.

One coin that seems to be done is PIVX. If they got into it for privacy, then their best bet would be to move into XMR. As for a bubble, I think Monero is minimally affected by it...I mean, Monero actually does something and does it better than any other coin. So many of those other coins don't have any real-world use and are pumping...makes no sense. And Ripple? I know banks showed interest and that's the reason for its pump...but banks?

For Monero, I think this was the market playing catchup and it's not caught up yet. I prefer slow and steady growth, and I think we'll see jumps when features like multisig and Kovri come out. That being said, I'm in Monero for the fungibility/privacy, and the price is icing on the cake.

Polo down?  Huh


e: holy shit that sell.. would've happily bought some of that.

I think nobody got any of that unless they already had the net out to catch it when it fell.  I tried, but polo just locked up on me.
It's weird how I often seem to watch these things unfold.  I don't spend that much time watching charts.  (Do I?  Tongue )

Yes funny business seems to happen repeatly when exchanges have "issues".  Kraken had problems at the same time as Polo and on polo many coins had selloffs at the same time as Monero. 

It also seems that after alts rise there is a selloff and then bct rises.  It happened this time.  Cool

Well there was someone with $2.5mm usd worth of monero selling at once.  Interesting to say the least.
Wow, that’s a lot coins; no wonder we hit a bump in the road. I’m guess that would have been a whale (or some whales). Who else would have 2$+ million XMR to manipulate the market with?

Regardless, the pump has picked back up and were still rising Smiley

Well.. I say 2.5mm which may have been true at market price, but the slippage probably cost him/her deep six figures.

There was a dump on Polo, from 0.021 BTC to 0.014, it all happened quite fast, a matter a of minutes I guess. I had a few buy orders set up but definitely not that low. Some people are very happy right now.

I really feel like there are parties trying their best to keep Monero from "taking off" as it were. You see a lot of suppression popping up on the sell side and well timed dumps that could easily have been much more profitable if they had taken their time and sold that same amount over a longer period of time.

Trying to manipulate markets fails over the long term. It can however provide many profit opportunities to other market participants at the expense of the manipulator or manipulators.

Edit: The sudden dump took XMR temporarily to 0.0143 XBT. It has now recovered back to 0.019.

My hypothesis is now that someone had accumulated for some time and tried to pump last few days. Market didnt respond as planned and hence they dumped their accumulation and exited....On that note: Cheap Monero atm (;-)
