You can't help yourself with the labels and the reductionist world view, can you.
Simple things, for simple minds.

As has been repeated many times the web wallet is for storing only small amounts.  It is a web wallet after all with all the vulnerabilities inherent with that design.

no country will ever  be allowed to run on anonymous untraceable crypto cash
but i think your valuation on ZEC is fair
its a coin with no purpose outside speculation  as of yet but 0.00255 is $1.80 lol
a lotta people going to get burned if it falls that low

I am not 100 % for Monero.. I have been repeating it over and over again.
I have relatively diversified portfolio in general, not even close 100 % in XMR and as I have said it earlier it is stupid to invest in one asset class (unless you are a gambler and love taking risk even if you lose).
I think the future of Monero is still good with or without official GUI. The webwallet is decent and easy enough to use + you do not need to download anything to your desktop.

I am not flip flopping and I do not recommend to sell on the bottom, some of my bids are still untouched and most likely the majority will not be taken because that requires quite extreme volatility.

That being said, I have told long long time ago that I am interested in Z-cash and I see their strengths. I think Monero serves a niche (junkies, criminals and other DNM clients and vendors + enthusiasts).
Z-cash most likely might be the choice for official currency like fiat is nowdays.
I think both Monero and Z-cash can coexists and I am considering investing a small amount of money (1-2 btc) into it in case it will become great.
The problem is the Zcash is waaaay over valued and I think the realist price for me to get in is around the same I got into XMR (0.00255 which is the break even price I have bought my Moneros).

URL?

those are the ones that we know about lol ...........
if i were running a dark market ,i sure wouldnt run it with ZEC
XMR all the way ! 

Here is a list of the funders: http://zerocash-project.org/about_us

There are definitely some corporate & government ties.

people fail to realise i think that when zcash loses its scarcity it will lose its value
i have read comparisons and analysis from many knowledgeable persons and most are of the opinion
that monero is the better coin (although zcash has the megabudget and the scarcity hype that wont last in a month when 7200 coins per day are getting dumped on exchanges ........

i think it will probably end up being worth $5-15 and many people are of the belief its funded by intelligence agencies( NSA ,MOSSAD and DARPA etc ) which certaintly wont help it get adopted on  illicit markets

We'll see another short rise when a GUI comes out. (20% over 1-2 days)
If the GUI sucks it will be a disaster (Ethereum wallet set a new standard).

XMR is a different coin as it has been in existence for too long and we have seen how it can react to a bigger price, nothing is impossible with XMR as you said it is a good coin that can be use in black market.

Let us just hope that people will focus on XMR so we can make the buy order fill again with a good volume.

If you bought or can buy some low around here, it will help to bring your cost-average down.

It's a long game.  There are those here who remember long periods of a price much lower than now (even 0.001 for a while) who have learned the virtue of patience and are confident that XMR will give handsome returns in the end.  XMR is good tech and is will remain no. 1 in truly private money for the foreseeable future.

Hang on to as many coins as you can....

So people will be going back to XMR after the ZEC hype. It's gonna be a long way trip back to my target price.

He used to have a signature saying something like : I speak bullish when I short XMR and bearish when I am long. He plays with forum members...

Oh he will be all for Monero again very soon, just as soon as he finishes buying back what he sold.

I see. As I am new since a few months ago I truly believed he was 100% for Monero. I was baffled at his latest post to be honest haha.

He has been flip flopping back an forth talking his book ever since he joined this thread, he was way more obnoxious in the beginning switching sentiment very often.

Yup. I initially thought he was someone who firmly believed in Monero and would help it because of his encouraging posts on XMR. I then became suspicious of him when there was funding/donations required for anonimal working on KOVRI and he was against contributing even a small amount despite being seemingly a great XMR supporter.

He was a hypocrite in the end which is sad.

Nothing elite about him LMAO, have you seen his youtube video?

If you believe Monero needs Marketing™ now is the time to show your support!

The videos will make for good assets to help explain Monero to new users in a easy to understand way.

You've written some complete twaddle over the years here but this is a complete new level of hypocritical, arrogant nonsense.

"everyday people....drug dealers and drug addicts".....you really do look down your nose at everyone don't you. 

And after so much time telling everyone what an advocate of XMR you are, it turns out all it needed was a quick scan of the ZCash website for you to turn into their number one fan.  "The brightest minds...in the world"....your lack of resolve is matched only by your feeblemindedness.

You really are a wretched, elitist individual who labours under the illusion of being important.
