Exactly, XMR/BTC is what matters. He was referring to XMR/USD when he mentioned the dive. Now XMR/USD = XMR/BTC * BTC/USD, so nothing is happening to monero, it's bitcoin that's weakening. Therefore if BTC/USD changes then XMR/USD must change too, it's a simple math. Of course unless monero in itself (that is, XMR/BTC) changes.

P.S.: if you really wanted to know what is happening to a particular currency you would have to first make a matrix of all mutually influencing currency pairs, calculate how much they contribute to the basket, normalize them so that you don't compare apples to oranges and then you would be able to actually calculate the relative strength of each individual currency, i.e. which currency is driving and which is driven, so to speak.

If you are still unsure what I am talking about consider this situation. Trump says something stupid. People start selling their USD and buying EUR, gold, bitcoins. Thus you will see all those respective exchange rates changing, but that doesn't mean that EUR is going up, gold is going up, bitcoin is going up, it only means that USD is going down and all those others are being driven up. It's the matter of cause and effect.

In fact in this example you would see changes in the other USD-quoted exchange rates as well even if nobody would be buying or selling them. For example, you have EUR/USD, GBP/USD and EUR/GBP. If USD goes down (thus EUR/USD goes up) and EUR vs GBP stays the same then you will see GBP/USD going up simply because GBP/USD = EUR/USD / EUR/GBP, it's just a math. That's what many people don't understand when they see an exchange rate changing without any underlying volume. Just because something is moving doesn't mean both sides are equally responsible.

(sorry for multiple edits)

I don't think you interpret what you see correctly. The only quote to measure XMR performance is XMR/BTC, at least for the time being. XMR/USD is a mere recalculation of the former vs BTC/USD. If anything, this drop in BTC can actually help XMR to climb a bit higher.

Here are links to the previous selling topics of this little scammer, I strongly advice everyone to read them first before sending any money to this kid. Not only he routinely violates forum rules, bumps his own topic in an illicit way and fabricates fake conversations, vouches and feedbacks, but he also demonstrably asked me to cover his sales with my reputation so that he can scam even more people (proof in the link below).

My attempt to attack you for criticizing Dash? Kiddo, you are seriously delusional. I haven't written here in this topic for months and I couldn't care less about some Dash, whatever that is.

Now I understand why most of your negative feedback says you are just an ordinary troll.

EDIT: this little scamming kid just gave me a fake negative feedback because I publicly pointed out his vast and exclusively negative feedback, hilariously pathetic. Added to my personal list of scammers, added to the ignore list and gave a genuine negative feedback. I encourage everyone to give him a negative feedback and ignore him as well.

The little retard is apparently incapable of comprehending that his fake negative feedbacks don't matter in the slightest. He even went as far as to fake and fabricate my quote of his post which is just insane. Everyone can easily see that in my post #26596 I referred to him by an empty quote (to not dirty this forum even further with his mental garbage), yet he actually tried to make an impression that I quoted his post. So furious and desperate, and so futile. The boy is genuinely mentally sick, I feel sorry for his parents.

By the way, you dumb mental boy "iCEBREAKER", by mining monero I have already made more than you will make in your entire life, that is if you ever get a job once you grow up, if you ever grow up that is (and if you are ever released from the mental asylum).

You have hilarious trust feedback.

Beware, contains invalid code(s). $15 lost.

EDIT: refunded.

If you feel being scammed open a topic in the Scam Accusations section. If the accused turns out to be indeed a scammer I will put him on my personal list of scammers.

Another little boy calling himself "us". There must be some clone factory manufacturing these.

What do you expect from somebody with only negative feedback?

Lies and bullshit. You created your account today, you have no reputation, no trust, no feedback, no vouches, no nothing.
And of top of all that you are a little criminal as you already admitted. Shame on you, kiddo!

Just an ordinary lame English spoken by uneducated trash, nothing more.

No, he is not a scammer, he is just a criminal.

Now you are talking

I took a bunch of codes, all worked. Thanks!

So you claim but the truth is that you have not received one single positive trust feedback about this guide from anyone, ever. Also I don't see one single positive feedback from any real member (fake newbie accounts don't count) in this whole thread. On top of that you have received a negative feedback on Selly.

Are you just having a fake discussion with your alts or what's the deal here?

What do you expect from someone with only negative trust feedbacks?

I can vouch for the bulk offer. The conditions are really generous and all codes I purchased worked.

How many copies have you sold here so far?

I even put the most basic and common sense rules in my signature but it's as if people wanted to be scammed. I agree it's really hard to feel sorry for them.

This one is no different. If you actually read his negative feedback, it says: "After Creating 50 accounts. The Scammer doesn't want to pay. I see he already has scam history.", so he checked the trust feedback only after he was scammed. Now how retarded is that?

However I am against all the scamming sometimes I think that if people exhibit such an extraordinary degree of stupidity they actually should be scammed, those children just won't learn any other way.

In addition to my previous post I strongly recommend to not pay this seller until at least several days after you have received the account and, if possible, not before the next invoice is issued by Amazon. You can easily time both together, e.g. receiving the account around 25th and paying around 5th next month.

Also notice that the seller absolutely and intentionally ignored each and every question I asked. This case is closed to me.

debuni: you know very well that this kid is just another scammer trying to steal people's money by selling worthless garbage, I know it, everybody with half a brain on this forum knows it, so what's the point in calling him out? He will only come back with another bunch of bullshit and lies and create another bunch of fake newbie accounts that will magically march in to support him.

By ever responding in this thread we are only boosting the scam chances of this little pathetic boy. Paying any attention to this is the same as going to your SPAM folder and actually reading all that nonsense. You will never get that wasted time back.
