Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 979. (Read 3314350 times)

Monero is superior to Zcash as its technology is well peer reviewed

has first mover advantage

having the GUI out before Zcash launch will enable it to occupy a significantly larger market segment.

No, its just obvious that it has a lot of moneypower in backround to push the currency.

But moneyloser was right, i think i fell into a FUD trap for zcash about it's not open source. It is indeed open source. (Not always easy to find valid informations in these FUD wars)
Moreover it can and will be forked i guess. And if silent part of the XMR community also things that Marketing is nothing important, they actually just play for team zCash.

Btw. also the information spread here and in other communities that zcash has no GUI at the start is just wrong. (even when it's not getting a price for beauty)

And they have some third party wallets which looks very good but i would never use them because they are not open source and i dont want to lose hundred thousands of euros due to a wallet what appears to be a scam at the end.

Back to Monero. Some things developed really bad for XMR.

1. MoneroMarket closed their shop
2. Current selling stats of AlphaBay

These are the older numbers:


So went went down -3% in Pills -1% in Speed (even -3% after XMR release).

There was an post at /r/Monero where a new DNM using only Monero (MoneroMarket) is closing:

Marketing discussion and market discussion mean different things. While marketing means advertising or promotion of certain aspects of the brand, market discussion covers exchange and trading related topics such as technical analysis and price predictions. Nobody permits u to create a separate thread whatever u want to post there.

Monero has a very limited utility and hence a loose network effect since there is only a few vendors that accept XMR or transact funds via its anonymous blockchain. In hindsight I personally am very doubtful that any crypto besides btc excels in these subjects in the near future so it would take a lot of time for any ecosystem to develop organically. Its supposed to work the other way around not just like someone decided to ramp it up coz one or two DNMs started to accept pay in monero.

ATTENTION real newbies, this thread is under heavy manipulation by some nasty troll, don't believe anything you read unless its from a legendary even then take it with grain of salt, because the mods won't do anything about sockpuppets this is literally like a 4chan thread now.

Fan of Zcash?
So what is your Monero price prediction?

Checked DNM again:

From 04.10.2016


I checked again:

Stimulants - Speed (3976 total offers)
Level 5 - 10

XMR: 32
BTC: 411

= 7,78%

XTC - Pills (11860 total offers)
Level 6 - 10

BTC: 465
XMR: 47

= 10,10%

So we have -1,84% at speed and plus +1,22% at XTC Pills.

Your point? You just reiterated my statement.

Be aware that this thread gets pruned of offtopic discussions so if you guys want to make plans then don't be surprised if all your hard work gets deleted because you put it in the wrong place. Some of us have been here long enough that you may want to head our advice.

Marketing discussion should be in the main thread me thinks and I think we need to build the eco-system before marketing. If anyone wants to reply to this then quote it in the main thread.

It seem there is no place for an exclusive XMR market right now. Not a single transaction since we launched. The risk and the cost running this type of market is not worth it at all.

We will continue to work on our market and we will release a new version on January 2017 after RingCT hoping there will be more users than bag holders at this time.

We do believe XMR will be a major coin over the next years but the community need to use the coin for real use and not just hold it hoping to get rich quick. The real value of a coin stand in the daily volume of transactions (real transaction to buy something).

Before people starts speculation that this is an exit scam.... let's be clear here... Since we launched we have not received a single deposit (vendor bond, purchase, etc...) which is the reason we took the decision to put it offline and continue to work on it and release a more complete version after the hard fork.

Risk-reward ratio ain't appealing enough. It is possible that the covering cannot be made at the range you are writing. Therefore only 7-8 % gains are too small especially considering the fact that the upside potential is infinity.

Because it is in the idea section at the moment, people need to show that they would support such a thing. When it is open for funding i guess debruyne or myself may shot a link

Making videos is just one part of the job, pitching them through Facebook/Reddit/Blogs/Ads is another, otherwise nobody will see them.
Does Monero have a some kind of Facebook site? It is very easy to post a video there and pay some bucks for showing the videos to a special public. Facebook Ads are cheap and enable one to target very specific people interested in Crypto/Bitcoin/Investments. Videos or Infographics are very good suited for Facebook. Content needs to be made in such a way that the specific targeted public is adressed. This can be funded too.

There is no XMR adress where we can send the XMR to support the video producers.
