that is why - this is huge... with the round table and Jaxx this week.

when coinbase goes live as well we will moon... BTC early 2013 prices I hope

We're going up. Is it due to CEOs/investors liking fluffypony's presentation at The North American Bitcoin Conference? Next destination for fluffypony is at the Satoshi Roundtable.

Also confirmation of Monero integration soon at Jaxx: https://twitter.com/jaxx_io/status/821398329368215552

Ahh, that's entertaining news. I'll keep an eye out for Gary Le's next project scam. Even if Zcoin ends up producing code (doubtful), I'll be perfectly comfortable with not having touched it - the risk/reward ratio is just too high and the funds are likely to evaporate.

FWIW, Gary Le has been booted off Zcoin project due some kind of falling out, so I think it's just Poramin Insom developing now, not that Gary Le was developing before, afaik he is just like a hype man, but he's been severed from the project nevertheless. I still wouldn't touch it due to massive premine, but, just saying...

same here, I'd never trust a guy that was able to get himself doxed like this http://archive.is/ZIcVN with developing a 'anonymous' coin...

wouldn't touch it with a ten feet pole, that one...

Zcoin would be a huge improvement if it only copied Zcash. Where's the code for Gary Le's prior project, Moneta? I don't throw around these terms lightly; this is a classic example of repeatedly shoveling out vaporware. I hope for your sake that you're not invested in that insta-turd. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16515400 - I'd rather invest in DASH or GoxBTC.

I am following the inflation rate of Monero but sadly probably the only relevant stat to me has been disappeared when coinmarketcap replaced the old statistic site with the current http://moneroblocks.info/

As said, I don't think the others have much choice, it's gang up or be bullied into obedient serfdom... Trump might try to become better friends with Russia, but who knows if that will work out... Tell me which friends are left for the USA? Even Europe is turning on them as I feel it, and rightly so, the Washington imposed Russian sanctions have only hurt Europe...
Iran is a force to be reckoned with in the Persian Gulf... There's also a difference: USA needs to use its naval power for offensive purposes. Tehran needs naval power exclusively for defensive purposes... so they (Russia, China, Tehran) build anti-ship, ant-aircraft and anti-ballistic systems... There's also technologytransfer between said countries, these defensive systems would face the USA with heavy losses... Only reason why Syria and Iran remain sovereign nations is because of the military cost that an invasion or bombing would have brought on the USA... the essence of deterrence...

You're right about India btw, but I don't know where their allegiance (will) lay, they're pretty neutral to me right now...

The chart you post is made up by a US-agency, you'll have to forgive me to not trust anything that comes from said agencies... one only needs to look at the US employmentdata produced by the BLS to know what kind of politicized bullshit said agencies produce... I might trust a chart of the current status, but the predictive capabilities of these agencies are so flawed and coloured that I'd trust my own belly before them... Look at what the IMF comes up with every year...
I also don't think that this chart can possibly incorporate 'black swan events' such as loss of reserve-currency-status...

But as always, only the future will tell who's (more) right...

best regards,

Seems like Dash is finally catching up with Monero.

For the gentleman who was moaning that there wasn't enough speculation in this thread and LennyCarl, who erroneously thinks my speculative efforts are in any way accurate, I draw your attention to this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161207.1500

Afrikoin is a lovely bloke who applies mathematic rigour and all sorts of TA to his speculations.  Yesterday, he said:
"We are going to $600s at some point soon. Definitely"

You may as well shoot the breeze about whatever topic you want as speculate what a cryptocoin will do in the future.

I couldn't agree more!

Saying that we are heading into some uncharted waters with Trump thinking he can take on China in some sort of trade war or challenge the one china policy.

To the best of my knowledge China essentially owns the USA by way of bonds issued over the last ten years or so ie it has been Chinese investment that enabled the US to recover from the GFC.  If China decides to 'cash in' those bonds then the US and its economy goes down the sink hole.  I assume that is what the PBC meant today when it said Trump would be "shooting himself in the foot" if he decided to challenge China over...well, pretty much anything.

USA will less try to do things on their own. Not saying they are doing it. But You cant expect that just everyone will gang against them. Also is hard to expect others will gang at all, but more likely oppose each other. What bothered me in your post most was Iran. Iran is not a huge force. And with less and less importance of Oil will be even less important. What I see most neglects is India. India will first become biggest country, then strongest economy and last strongest military. All this will happen in this century. Europe is still there, but losing power so as Japan. Beside Brazil and Mexico which rare count as one of strongest countries, upcoming countries are also Indonesia and Nigeria.

Ohne Bären keine Bullen  

Dann kommen eeh wieder die Bullen 

It's probably simply because of Polo being where most XMR is traded.  Polo is effectively an exchange where BTC is traded for alts and vice versa.  Everything there is seen in the context of its price relative to BTC.   Gains and losses are counted in BTC.

Anyone holding XMR as a long term investment should of course be thinking of its ultimate fiat value, since if you want to cash in your investment's value to spend, you will be looking at its value in fiat.

Of course the USD price matters and very few are watching it.  The fact we went over the USD ATH and very few here even seemed to notice is proof of this and IMHO totally daft.  

don't agree, it's pretty obvious the reserve-currency status of the USD is being hollowed out by a new axis of countries who have only one choice: work together or be obedient to the US... China, Russia and Iran will work together more and more, more and more the USD will be shunned for international trade. Silk road 2.0, AIIB, SGE, ... bilateral oil-trades.

Where was the US-military in Syria btw? Right, it were the Russians who called the shots... US may have the biggest stick, it won't take on China, Russia and Iran together. In addition we might also see a pivot from Europe to Asia... If the US has no friends left, they can forget it... the unipolar world is finished.

The neocon US-policy overplayed its hand, and its deathbed is made. This is a nice summary I think: http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/12/19/geopolitics-globalization-and-world-order.html

not saying the USD will be dead tomorrow, but if you have another decade to live I'm pretty sure you will live to see its reserve-status finished... and rightly so...

best regards

Finally some upward traction

I agree with that. But there is room for other players.

Anyone that has any understanding of the real world knows USD will be here far longer than we will. The largest military presence the world has ever know backs USD, It's pretty damn safe. The guy with the biggest stick makes the rules no matter how civilized we want to think we are.
