It seems we could be testing .0028 before resuming the slow pace, sane bull run. What are your short term projections?

You can dump >41000 XMR to 288k if you like gambling.  Some folks do.

Aaaand... somebody did.  LOL.  It will be fun to watch them race to cover the loss.

Your bullishness makes me nervous.

There are short sellers trying to take it down now.  You should be encouraged, because that means cheap now, higher later.

Trump can put tariffs on goods exported by Mexico to USA.

To make everything in your country more expensive?
What's the point?

More money from import/export means less needed from income taxes.

Cool

But in both cases it's the citizen who pays it.
Where I agree is that it's an indirect taxation... But I'm not sure it's better than direct taxation :/

If we make our own products, there is no import. If government makes export tax too high, we simply don't export. If government wants any money at all, they have to balance the tax so that products can come and go. Government shrinks to the right size.

Cool

Eh, I might argue that if we make our own products better, then there is no import. The taxes still decrease degrees of freedom

There is no free market when a selected group of people can socialize their loss and privatize their profits, furthermore if those people are able to achieve regulatory capture and still need to be bailed it tells you that they are better at corrupting than finance ;-).

So all argument about what ever in the context of a free market are mute. This is where Obama failed to explain and chose to (again) build a narrative. If mostly Jewish white men of Wall Street will not lose their income because of their total incompetency why shall black get nothing too? Who is gonna loot faster America and move away?

And you think that Trump would change that at all? He supported the bailouts. He thrives on government interference in the market.

Is it wrong to think that Trump will implement more cost controls than the alternative options? If so good enough for me, not like I can have my libertarian utopia in a snap of a couple fingers

To me, Elwardian Libertarians and the Sandersnista flavor of Socialists are two peas in a pod.  Run-of-the-mill utopians without enough common sense to make much of a difference one way or another.  They are basically like the large dense object found by groping about in a toolbox when a hammer has been mis-placed, and to the more shrewd actors who have that basic potential they are inevitably used as such.

There is certainly not much difference between Hillary and Trump. The last time the presidency was up for grabs by both parties Trump voted right alongside Hillary for Barack Obama.

We actually have 2 Republican governors with proven fiscally conservative track records that will likely be in the debates against the two big government Democrats. They are far from utopian and certainly would not be my first pick as a libertarian but at least they don't support centralization of power.

I do love me some Gary Johnson. Who's the other person?

SELLING MY CAR FOR STEEM!
https://steemit.com/forsale/@kingjohal/selling-my-car-for-steem-btc-usd-used-2006-chrysler-300-touring-usd8888

I love XMR and will continue to watch this coin!...just wanted to share that news with you all. Thank you! Would be so thankful if you took some time to read my story!

This won't end well.

Edit: At least it isn't your primary mode of transportation, or your house. I recall people selling their houses and the like when Bitcoin peaked in price a few years ago, and it didn't end well for them.

I didn't realize things were already over.

I don't think you'll persuade anyone unless you use facts and logic.  Oh, wait, Donald Trump.  Nevermind.

i think we will see a decent rise in price during the halving, as people want to exit btc and enter alts.

Is there any particular reason that XMR is rallying so much vs. BTC right now (I'm out of the loop)?



Nope keep ignoring it until it hits a new ATH.  Just keep ignoring it.  Pay no attention to whats happened and dont listen to/read the monero missives. 

Definitely dont go to  https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/about/traffic/  and see how much the monero community has been growing, based on reddit traffic numbers.  Dont go to the github and check how many commits there have been related to the GUI recently, and dont go read the whitepapers about RingCT, and the updates on its development.

Dont go look at the hash rate statistics and see that Monero difficulty hit a new all time high a couple days ago.  And dont go looking at the Node counts and realize that high uptime nodes hit a new all time high a couple weeks ago.

Leave all the monero for us, thanks.

dude stop pumping, monero's not like that Cheesy

Bitcoin loans are now very affordable and as ETH bubble seems to be bursting there are plenty of bitcoins available now for margin long positions.
If you believe the price will rise faster than you need to pay interest, you might want to take a small long position...?

i have a small leveraged long position but nothing fancy, just for the lulz Wink

trading the swings with leverage can be helpful especially for the smaller traders. why risk 2.5 btc if i can have the same performance for 1 btc ? depending on the individual situation this can really make a lot of sense.


The market risk is the same. If you mean exchange/counterparty risk, then it might make sense (balanced against the interest rate).

Isn't the market risk marginally worse because of the borrowed interest rate ticking away? Plus you give away more information by interacting in the lending markets.

tick...tick...tick...

On average how long would you expect to find a block solomining with 500h/s and the network hashrate around 16/18 M/hs?

Once every two months

Should someone with smaller hashing power factor the emission diminishing per block rate with reward variance in P/L calcs?

I still can't wrap my head around the whole thing. I've always been a free market person, and I haven't quite been budged from the stance yet by Trump

Because you like most trump supporters dont have the intelligence to see through his bullshit.
He is part of the elite that you people hate so much and he will cut the taxes of the super rich and mega corporations when he is voted in.
(You can read all this on his official homepage btw)

 Cry

Trump will have to give them rebates, b/c the super rich and mega corporations don't pay any taxes now!

I mean his tax policy is in my opinion in the right direction, in a less is more sort of way. There won't be any income tax for those making <$x0,000

Maybe you should forecast a bear market since AmericanPegasus is the reverse indicator of Monero as MatTheCat is to Bitcoin.

He's only the reverse indicator... until he isn't Smiley

Vertoe left? Thats upsetting  Sad


She seemed like someone with a straight head that was in it not for profit but the ideal (this post validates my point). Anyone know where I can find her to connect again?

Vertoe left Darkcoin/Dash over a year ago.
