In my real life circle people who are the type of people want to buy crypto thinks btc train has left the station but they are buying Monero (a few of them have done so already).
Bitcoin probably have potential to go to a few thousand of dollars and that is approximately 10 X R.O.I. while Monero has chance to reach parity with btc - and go even beyond that when the supply vs. demand intermediation says so (we saw this happening with Zcash so why not also with XMR).

I think it was Aminorex who suggested that out of the "cryptocurrency allocation", it makes sense to buy

* 50% of $100 bills
* 50% of XMR.

Instead of the 90% BTC / 10% XMR that you are suggesting.

I do not recall when I have seen such a Monero shortage in the lending markets. Looks like there are massive short positions built. If the margin calls hit us, the price will go to incredible heights. On the other hand, if there is a huge dump, there are takers to it (covering of the short positions).
Interesting to watch where are we heading. Personally I do not care much but I still have my popcorns and diet Coke ready for the show.

Real men drink normal coke... Are you on a diet or something?  Grin

Have you paid attention on the fact that it is the fat people that drink diet coke only.

That being said, I prefer diet also because the regular coke do not make me feel young again but just tired.

Any difference with Mexican Coca-Cola (cane sugar instead of HFCS)? Curious.

Check out http://dietdoctor.com and read "The Obesity Code" by Jason Fung and "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes. Basically sugar (including artificial sweeteners) and carbs are addictive and disrupt both brain mechanisms regulating appetite "set point" and hormonal systems regulating fat deposition.

A friend is finally pulling the trigger on buying some bitcoin but also wants to buy monero "to get in on the ground floor of something." I suggested 90% btc, 10% xmr; he wants 50% each. This is the first person in my circle of real-life acquaintances who is buying xmr.

I don't see any reason why people would pull out of Monero except to make a quick buck. It's a strong cryptocurrency in what it achieves for the consumer, so far there is nothing like it, from what I can see.

You can definitely tell the difference in taste.
I had a Mexican Coca-Cola recently and it was delicious. Much better than the high-fructose corn syrup used in the American drink.

As for the price of Monero, I'm glad to see us back around the price of Ethereum.
I'm not sure we will get back to the 0.02 price level right away, but it may happen eventually.
Now might be a good time to invest in XMR actually.

Yes, the amusing part is seeing  people waddle into KFC or McDonald's and order practically the entire menu and a diet coke to wash it down.....

The mind boggles sometimes...  Cheesy

When XMR breaks the ATH what do you guys think is likely to happen?

Is it likely to continue on upwards or dumps to buy back cheaper?
Or do the whales simply decide how high it goes?


Usually after new ATH price dont go under last ATH. So should stay over 0.022.

You can just hodl but that's pretty boring sitting on a stack of coins waiting for the value to appreciate ...

that's why you hodl but also invest your time and efforts in improving the community, with whatever skills you have. whether that is developing, accepting monero in your business, selling alpaca socks, raising awareness writing blogs or something, educating others on how to use it, etc. if your skill is a trader then you trade too.

Yo guys. I bought back in a considerable amount at $4.80.
As all other ICO's have gone to shit and btc falling, we are in a runaway market.

It will surpass Litecoin (~$15).

If I had to guess, I'd say it was a boating accident.

Yes. This kind of hedging strategy in order to minimize risk actually makes a lot of sense.

Yes, there is a reason why I'm still in the game, despite losing 700,000+ XMR in hacks, probably the biggest loss ever.

Can you explain? I'm sure we'd all be very interested.
