Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 864. (Read 3314350 times)

the GUI has not a big effect, since those people dont own a lot of coins anyway (and therefore are no meaningful power in the lending market).

even to the occasional market observer it should be obvious that there are tons of shorts open right now.

...And the market is performing an attack on them.



Also nice hammer on the 3d candle (gj bull bros).

Listening thanks

LOL exactly, Luxo... his calling my post desperation is itself, *his* OWN desperation 

Pot? Meet kettle... what color are you? LOL

I don't see why his post would be desperation. Coinbase accepting XMR would be huge and what he said was true about coinbase liking fluffy's presentation and XMR winning the poll about coinbase adding Monero. Still speculation but there are signs that it is more leaning towards it happening than not.

Sure, buddy. I believe you.

LOL nice try troll... but, nope not hardly.

Go back and look at my history here: my basis price for the first XMR I bought 'way back in the olden days is a whopping... $0.70

Seventy-Whole-Cents I have at risk for each XMR in my hot little hands these days, whoop dee doo

I'm personally LONG PAST CARING if the daily price goes up or down a dollar or two.  Hell even if it ever "crashed" back to "only" five bucks I'd probably sell the house, sell the dog, sell the wife just to Back Up The Truck and buy MOAR XMR.

Unlike you I'm just a simple HODL'er who kinda-sorta actually understands the long-term impact of this *technology*... not a day-trader *cough* gambler *cough* probably like you. 

So, yeah... no... uh huh, good luck with that LOL

Don't go there.

All priced in. What we need is adoption. Maybe marketing like Dash.

Otherwise: Just wait.

I can smell...desperation.

It's definitely happening, not just trollbox book-talking.

It's been heating up for a while now actually: I remember 'way back when the IRS/coinbase shit first started happening I posted somewhere that it'd serve the feds right if coinbase switched to Monero -- and at that point such a thing was more or less a total fantasy, LOL, "never gonna happen in a million years" kinda speculation talk.

This was just a couple months ago.

But then, shit started happening for real: Fluffy was invited to make a presentation to coinbase, Jaxx adding XMR got more serious, clear outta the blue XMR was added to Kraken, then after Fluffy's presentation went *really* well coinbase flat out said they're gonna be adding more alts in the coming year, and they ran an online poll for *which* coin should be next, and Monero totally dominated the poll.

So at this point it really appears to be a foregone conclusion that coinbase pretty likely WILL be adding Monero to their service soon... I'd say better than 80%+ likely unless some really unexpected event happens in the next couple months to prevent it for some unexpected reason.

At this point, it's hard to believe how quickly and massively the "stars have aligned" for XMR on this, in just the last couple months.

I'd say the vast majority of even well-intentioned Monero users (and crypto people who are only just "kinda aware" of Monero) are still probably TOTALLY CLUELESS THAT THIS IS COMING SOON.

I'd guess that this is *massively* NOT YET priced-in, at all... not by a long shot.

Probably gonna be a huge surprise when it hits, too...  

Speaking about shorters, there is very little Moneros available on the lending markets. There are at least two possible reasons for that: 1) GUI has attracted the coins from lending markets (the opportunity cost of withdrawal is the lost interest payments) 2) massive amounts of shorts are being opened.
Also it could be both options.

I recall very well seeing 250 000 or so Moneros available for borrowers. Today barely over 100 000 XMR.

Thanks for the kind words Luxo.

Monero is doing its thing and holding on nicely.

2 thumbs up.

Hello Monero people! How are you all today? Ok, I hope..

Yes, I think my facts are dated (apparently Japan is now the biggest holder of US debt) and the consequences of China 'cashing in' incorrect.

Nevertheless, I still think Xi Jinping will run rings around Trump.

But we are still in a place where when we get shot in the foot it is still firmly planted on China's head.  This may not always be the case

Until then they are not going to want to pull that trigger.

after the fluffy vid and the way he handled the compliance questions it will only be a matter of time, Jaxx and the latest fiat ramps in - it will cause a massive bloodbath for any shorters. 3-5 X price in a bubble

Coinbase support would be huge.
I sold everything I own besides Factom and bought back into Monero a few days ago.
These are two of the projects I think have good long term investment potential, personally.

Take care buddy.

Oh yes please. Could do with a bit of good in a shitty life at the moment.

Since Christmas I had surgery and in the few days after, when I'm supposed to be taking it easy, the most evil cold and bad chest, I'm literally on the floor here.

Cant even keep my tablets down I have so had enough.
