Ok: the DNM numbers ! The DNM numbers!
Quite frankly: I dont care at the moment. This is about financial sovereignty within a 100% trusted framework.
So see the big picture and stop panicking at growing pains. Btc analysis is gaining sophistication and will soon emphasize the 'chain' in btc's blockchain. Then the great unwashed will flock and buy at any price.
The fud boys are likely trying to buy cheap and / or a shorters and can be safely ignored.
Ive been doing a lot of research and there is a great groundswell of early bitcoiners with libertarian bend quietly transitioning to Monero. Its obvious why, as bitcoin will not fulfill its original promise to the ones which flocked to it to create an alternative economy with individual sovereignty. XMR is
Whoever is on the sidelines now is missing their opportunity like they probably missed some years ago.
Couldn't agree more. Don't give a fuck about DNM numbers, the picture is so much bigger than that, and within that picture BTC has now faltered drastically and for me, no longer expresses my views and has lost my support. I dont care what price it may/may not go to. Many thanks to BTC for paving the way to this place and forcing govs to address the issue of crypto, but beyond that, for me it's history, and the only alternative I can see is XMR.
If all you care about is a tool for short term price movements and profits then GTFO. XMR is much more than that and if you don't see it, that's cool ... walk on by.
For me, XMR is a political statement against mass surveillance, invasion of privacy, and abuse of power, amongst many other things. Sucking the life-blood from of a totally corrupt system where it will be leveraged for the benefit of the few is the only way I can see to prevent the continuation of this madness. The more money that flows into crypto, the less can be lent to cronies through an already bankrupt fractional reserve financial system, and the sooner that thing will be forced to change, as they need to.
I remember one of the earliest talks I watched about BTC and it's potential to be a 'fiat black hole' ... that is what this is about, though I no longer believe that BTC itself will be the agent for that as it appears to have been too heavily cmpromised.
As for ZCash ... ROFLMAO
