Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 809. (Read 3314350 times)

I knew you will be back any day.
Welcome, nice to see you. I hope you are doing fine.

Is he part of the Monero team?

We just had to top the cheap 0.018 marker again.

Busy lately. 

Nice price ramp.  Lagging dash and zec right now, but that can't last forever.  Just wish we had better software.  I won't have time to put into it until late April, realistically.

BTC fork fears should create some good btc accumulation opportunities.  Whether they can offer a levered entry into XMR, is hard to predict, however.

Are you serious? Or just trying to pump your little dash stash because you know you're sitting on a ticking time bomb?

All the people in crypto who are not just some pump and dump investors but have a little brain wouldn't touch dash with a ten foot pole (except of maybe Roger Ver who is pumping dash for his own BTU agenda cause it's the cheapest coin to pump and because it's in reality the smallest threat to BTC).

Coinbase has some six million accounts - people who are happy having online wallets and trust them to be secure. Coinbase - much like they did/do with Ethereum - would actively market Monero to its existing customers. They would, in effect, do the marketing job for us. That could be huge.

 - Coinbase have publicly stated that they would add new currencies this year.
 - Fluffy was invited to give a presentation there earlier this year. By all accounts it was well received.
 - The Coinbase product manager recently published a beginner's guide to Monero, just as she did for Ethereum a few weeks ago. This was written in conjunction with Coinbase engineers. Coincidence? Possibly, but unlikely.
 - The Director of Engineering - Charlie Lee - at Coinbase has publicly stated he thinks Dash is a scam.

So if Coinbase are gong to add a new currency and if it's not Dash, what's left? Given the (admittedly few) pointers, I would suggest Monero is a good bet.

It is neither illegal to own, buy or sell Monero. If Coinbase have a couple more hurdles to jump selling Monero than they would otherwise have selling another currency, then so be it. It's not a big deal for them. My money is on Coinbase offering Monero in the not-too-distant future.

Edit: Just noticed that Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, tweeted the Guide to Monero referenced above. If that isn't a recommendation, what is?

I made an account at kraken to have a USD/XMR pair without a BTC intermediary but they dicked around with me so fuck them and I still use Coinbase albeit at a 2k limit but that is fine by me and they can give the IRS all the info they have on me for all I care. I'll keep using them until they screw me so I'm looking forward to them adding XMR. At least they cannot pull an Exit scam like all these other exchanges that have. Polo as well cannot, that is one great thing about the KYC they now must answer too, they are known and locked in which makes your coins safe from them but not safe from the gov. So if your afraid of the gov getting your coins then use the shadey places or escrowed systems.

Dark coin. And that's why it is threatening bitcoin soon.... 

Looks like in terms of bitcoins, you investment was solid. Not necessarily so much in terms of fiat though.
You can spend the Dark coin to buy 1 oz of gold if they are able to pump it over 1000 usd each as one of the threads suggests... I hope they will not succeed in that though because that could be harmful for XMR (it is hard for XMR to maintain that high marketcap)...
I actually tried to scare them from pumping to 1000 usd each (by hinting the Dark coin community with possible attack).

When are you seeing the hedge funds are going to pay attention to Monero?
If the managers are having coins in their personal portfolios it should be in their personal best interest to pump Monero to the moon and that can be done via new money flowing into the coin marketcap of Monero.

Unlike those of us here who are 'deep into' the whole crypto-thing, there's a large contingent of people who know about bitcoin and keep a little IMHO but don't USE it much... not having the time, interest, or inclination to follow ALL the bizarre day to day drama and 'excitement' of this scene.

These folks mostly use Coinbase, figure it's like the McDonalds or WalMart of the crypto currency scene, LOL

Offering Monero on their site as only the 3rd possible choice (after BTC and ETH) of a coin to buy/hold/use will be a massive vote of credibility and confidence to a huge number of new users, who otherwise may have never bothered to learn about it.

This should lead to a pretty healthy, sizeable increase in XMR price... "point enough" for me!

Heh... well, still down a couple bucks I guess. I dunno exactly. Kinda don't care. I may go and gamble it away on that new dash casino site LOL

Or, hey, maybe it's time to buy another one with my JuJu and make a DashCrash again?

Oh, who am I kidding? To REALLY make the DashPump bubble finally POP permanently, I'd probably have to buy back ALL the Dash I sold off!  

Really can't afford that, guys.  Sorry LOL

P.S. {Edit} By the way, thanks to all for more comments above about my DashPump theory. I guess I said it best myself already in an earlier post, "Can't Win 'Em All", right? I've been assuming that missing out on the Dash rise could mean ultimate crypto investing failure, BUT you guys are right: that'll only be true if Dash succeeds and every other coin (including bitcoin) totally fails! Not likely. So, gotta just let one go once in awhile I guess, and assume overall I'll still be fine with HODL'ing everything else (especially Monero) that I still have.

Also selling off Dash before the big rise is only looking like a "mistake" right now: WHEN (not if) the Big Dump comes it's gonna be a Smart Move in hindsight (or at least "neutral" and not really any mistake, LOL)

If you cant trace, that means you cant have any proof. That this money come from Wikileaks paying you for selling them truth about how Apollo program was made in Hollywood. If there is no proof no one can seize anything. With Bitcoin they have can see that.

True. They should use ethereum.

There are people with different tastes and flavors of privacy, for example who dont care if gov or company know when and how much the bought sth, as long that is the point where their knowledge stops.

Do you guys see the price going up or down from here?
And if down, how low?

All I see is your untraceable Monero getting seizable for regulators through coinbase.

"Why you take my coins I use to buy food for my kid?"  "Because fuck you that's why."

Because they deserve it.  Monero is money and money is for everyone. It is not mine, yours or theirs, but ours.  There is noone that should be left behind.

Not much, but it would be good for the spread of Monero and of course, its price.

Bigger liquidity and more credibility to Monero -project + not so tied to the fluctuations of bitcoin-usd pair.
