Sold some more moneros...

Good move TC, you are a first class trader.  Cheesy

I am actually a horrible trader and the bagholding started to hurt me too much since I had way too many Moneros in my portfolio compared with other assets so I need to diversify. 
I have no idea what to do with the money though...  Undecided No need for it so I just put the bitcoins to the lending markets earning hefty 0.1-0.2 % daily interest until Dark coin settles down and probably will buy it next....
Please, do not worry - I still have Moneros for sale at higher price so please go and get them while they still are available.  Shocked

If coinbase will add Monero support, what do you think the price will go in that pump?
344  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 23, 2017, 02:19:12 PM
I am glad that I was able to sell a few coins for 0.02+ btc.
I think it is a good price to sell, I am not recommending others to sell but I just have been here for so long term now that I finallu decided cash around 5 % of my stash. Still 95 % of Moneros left and waiting to the shuttle to the Moon.
I hope the new owner appreciates those coins and hold them for long haul and see as nice ROI as I saw.

Shifting gears a little bit: question for everyone here...

IF there's a bitcoin blockchain split and the overall value of both sides added together DROPS (as some people say, i.e. before split BTC = $1,000 but after split with say 80/20 hashrate division, the value is not $800/$200 but rather something like $600/$100, or less, due to loss of network effect)... do you guys think the "lost value" will just disappear i.e. go back to "dollars" as leaving "crypto" entirely, OR would it be reflected in increased "dollar value" of ALTS (even as, probably, the relevant alt-value as priced "in bitcoin" will almost certainly decrease...?)

TL;DR above :: if there's a BTC chain split, will those of us with appropriately balanced portfolios of alt-coins (XMR/ETH/MAID/DASH/etc) see the dollar-valuation of that portfolio stay largely the same, or will we need to be ready to DO something other than just ride-out the storm until bitcoin settles down again, post-split...?

Whadda Y'all Think... who's planning for what scenarios here?

Thank you for very interesting question.
I have also being thinking this a lot recently and I have to admit I have been pretty worried for the sake of bitcoin recently for the first time since 2013 when I first bought in.
You are right value will be probably disappearing and most likely one of the two will remain and the other blockchain probably dies. There might be an exchage that trades between those two bitcoins and the one that the majority will choose will prevail and the other goes towards 0.
That could be potentially very good opportunity for Monero to shine... Dark coin has already started to shine like the radiant sun but I am afraid its heat will burn many from alive eventually so no time to FOMO buy anymore it... A prudent investor will start accumulating Moneros now while they are still this cheap.. If Bitcoin splits into 2 parts, it is very possible that Monero reaches 1:1 parity with bitcoin (or some other alt coin, Dark coin perhaps?). Etherium is much more nice coin than Monero... Ripple is run by the company so we are left with Dark coin, XMR or LTC perhaps...?

New for 2017!

Vintage Champagne Monero trolling, Brut edition.

Laughable Ricardo spends so much time these days worrying about DASH and hilarious of how ignorant he and the 'Tone' are with their crypto fundamentals.

Enjoy!

Indeed Dark coin is considered as threat to Monero since it is the only competitor to it. I am not sure which one will outperform in the coming months though. Bear in mind, Dark coin has been rising a lot recently while Monero has risen only 100 % so there is more upside in XMR right now in my opinion.
347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 21, 2017, 04:20:00 PM
How come every time I buy XMR it falls lol.... fuck... it's a good coin and has potential, but never manage to catch it at the right time

Because Monero tends to drop.
Usually the rises are fast and take relatively short period and then the downslide will start and it usually takes months after months.
348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 20, 2017, 06:27:25 PM
When will Coinbase make up their mind wether to add Xmr or not? If that will be announced I am expecting huge increase in Monero's price and probably new trading range.
349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 20, 2017, 04:44:18 PM

DASH is a sound success now. That means people will start investigating more about its background. We know what will happen next.
From what I've read ETH code is big and badly written, so it's all about when the next bug(s) or exploit(s) will pop out.

So the question is: when will XMR reach 100$? It means just a little over 4x rise from this point!

Just because the price goes up does not mean something is a success.  It will always have been based on a scam launch which is itself is based on flawed and broken technology.  It could go to googol dollars each and that wouldn't change.

What is the scam part of dark coin?
Who has been ripped off and how much the losses are?

The fact that someone has premined a lot of coins doesn't make it scam but the performance. Dark coin seems to be legit project with premine funding. Bear in mind, the whole fiat system is based on monopolistic "mining" but nobody sane will scream in front of E.C.B. "scam scam scam!".
350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 20, 2017, 03:55:21 PM
In case of Dark coin people are realizing the benefits of marketing. If you have limited supply and marketing machine creating demand it is obvious that the price rises.
In case of ETH, there are rumors (haven't checked because not so interested) that Alphabay is implementing Etherium.

This is indeed true... I was just on alphabay and this is the most recent update


"March 18th, 2017
We are implementing Ethereum acceptance and the new currency, including deposits and withdrawals, will be fully operational on May 1st, 2017"

Anyone care to speculate on what this could mean for monero? I personally am gunna HODL and ignore ETH like i always have

I think this has nothing to do with XMR. I am personally more worried about the lack of marketing. A coin cannot hold its value given ongoing inflation unless the demand for the coins is not minimum on the level of supply (both from the emission and from the bags of the bagholder community).  Cheesy

Roger Ver has now even more wealth - perhaps he will be interested to show some more love to the Monerians?

I just read that AlphaBay is now accepting Ethereum as a coin. I think that this won't make XMR's life easier. Especially not when all are in the hype of ETH.

Sad that XMR couldn't really use the momentum. But hey it has always a positive side. We probably can rebuy at 0.0080 again soon Smiley I hope so very much. But staying at this is also ok or going higher...but I am happy sold at ATH...always found a greater fool Cheesy

I know people like you.
They tend to brag how they bought their coins on the absolute floor and sold all out at the very peak to the "greater fool".

I have no clue where it goes from here... Still the ATH is not even touched so kinda bearish sentiment here but I am hopeful that my bearishness turns to the euphoria.
Bear in mind, Dark coin cost yesterday 0.12 btc or so and a while ago you were able to convert Moneros to Dark coins at the ratio of 1:1.
If I am not mistaken, Roger Ver is behind the Dark coin pump and he has told according to Bitcoin Meister that he also likes Monero so perhaps Monero is the next coin that will get the pump, what do you think?
353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 06:15:09 PM
Busy lately. 

Nice price ramp.  Lagging dash and zec right now, but that can't last forever.  Just wish we had better software.  I won't have time to put into it until late April, realistically.

BTC fork fears should create some good btc accumulation opportunities.  Whether they can offer a levered entry into XMR, is hard to predict, however.


I knew you will be back any day.
Welcome, nice to see you. I hope you are doing fine.
354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 02:23:53 PM
More Monero volume on Polo than Dash....

Price is nice - and if rangedriver is right, well - who needs marketing, rather than superior tech?


Dark coin. And that's why it is threatening bitcoin soon....  Embarrassed
355  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 01:42:55 PM

Care to share an update on this? How is the 1 Dark coin performing in your portfolio?


Heh... well, still down a couple bucks I guess. I dunno exactly. Kinda don't care. I may go and gamble it away on that new dash casino site LOL

Or, hey, maybe it's time to buy another one with my JuJu and make a DashCrash again? Grin

Oh, who am I kidding? To REALLY make the DashPump bubble finally POP permanently, I'd probably have to buy back ALL the Dash I sold off!  Cheesy

Really can't afford that, guys.  Sorry LOL

P.S. {Edit} By the way, thanks to all for more comments above about my DashPump theory. I guess I said it best myself already in an earlier post, "Can't Win 'Em All", right? I've been assuming that missing out on the Dash rise could mean ultimate crypto investing failure, BUT you guys are right: that'll only be true if Dash succeeds and every other coin (including bitcoin) totally fails! Not likely. So, gotta just let one go once in awhile I guess, and assume overall I'll still be fine with HODL'ing everything else (especially Monero) that I still have.

Also selling off Dash before the big rise is only looking like a "mistake" right now: WHEN (not if) the Big Dump comes it's gonna be a Smart Move in hindsight (or at least "neutral" and not really any mistake, LOL)

Looks like in terms of bitcoins, you investment was solid. Not necessarily so much in terms of fiat though.
You can spend the Dark coin to buy 1 oz of gold if they are able to pump it over 1000 usd each as one of the threads suggests... I hope they will not succeed in that though because that could be harmful for XMR (it is hard for XMR to maintain that high marketcap)...
I actually tried to scare them from pumping to 1000 usd each (by hinting the Dark coin community with possible attack).
356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 01:38:43 PM
Maybe they mean internal blockchains, maybe they're referring to a more confidential Bitcoin, maybe they want Monero, maybe they hedge a bit and keep an eye on all disruptive developments...

I can tell you this: Every single person from Goldman (and every other bank or prop shop or family desk or money manager) that I have spoken with mono-á-mono in the past 2½ years has bought some XMR for their personal.  Never more than a few thousand.  And I don't think any are selling yet.  If they were, I would mock them viciously: DNMs are step 1.  And we haven’t even made it half way through step 1 yet.  This thing has its best years ahead of it.  We can actually afford software now.

When are you seeing the hedge funds are going to pay attention to Monero?
If the managers are having coins in their personal portfolios it should be in their personal best interest to pump Monero to the moon and that can be done via new money flowing into the coin marketcap of Monero.
357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 11:33:01 AM
Do you guys see the price going up or down from here?
And if down, how low?
358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 10:35:18 AM
What is the point of having Monero on coinbase?

Bigger liquidity and more credibility to Monero -project + not so tied to the fluctuations of bitcoin-usd pair.
359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2017, 06:29:45 AM

Oh, by the way guys... I think I know how to stop Dash from rising any more  Grin

Just now, I just bought ONE DASH COIN using about $100 worth of bitcoin that I was lucky enough to WIN today, totally unexpected fluke.

Easy Come, Easy Go... right?  Buying stupid Dash at what may be the TOP of this epic bubble run is definitely a "gamble" more extreme than any casino odds LOL

And... EVERY... FREAKING... TIME... when I "capitulate" and BUY some coin as it's been running HOT...?  ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS it immediately CRASHES

So, LOL... y'all can thank me later  Grin Cheesy Wink Tongue


+1 haha That's what I was going to do! So, I'll thank you now lol.




YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

 Grin

Unfortunately Dark coin is having 693 million market cap and Monero 319 million so this is not reflected there at least.

unfortunately Dark coin isn't used for anything...
except an atm for duffield and the other instaminers...

https://twitter.com/ARKblockchain/status/834841078234767360

real world usage went nowhere since inception...

in the meantime xmr has real world utility, it's the preferred coin by anyone who wants privacy/security/anonimity...


While you might be right Dark coin (I am glad you are using the right term - the most of the old timers remembers this as Dark coin) has very limited real life use cases, Monero is not that much ahead if only in just a fraction of DNM transactions Monero is used. The adaption can be easily overcome, just like it is still quite easy to get larger market cap than bitcoin (after all, it is only 20 billion which is just the smallest tiny bit peanuts when we speak about the market cap of the currencies).

Dark coin is anonymous as well at least in some degree. Now the question is, is it anonymous enough for the most people... At least it is marketed as user friendly for average Joes. I bet for the majority of the people Dark coin probably is anonymous enough. Sure it might be possible for some hard core hacker to crack it... But the super anonymity is needed when super anonymity is needed. If I buy gold from bitgild (or whatever is the name of the gold dealer that accepts Dark coins) I may not need super anonymous transaction but certainly I am not willing to reveal my funds to the dealer either, just for the sake of comfort.

In my opinion, when it comes to developing, Monero should be heading towards user friendliness little by little so that others than DNM can easily adapt it... The bullish price trend is good enough for marketing in my opinion... Hype is not needed as long as the price is in bullish trend and the bag holders have the incentive to hype it and preach it to their network. Bearish coin is, well, depressing to preach and besides that, it is the bullishness that attracts new people into crypto (after all, it is a bit unconventional to first earn your salary in fiat money, then pay fees to trade it into crypto currencies and then spend the crypto in your favorite use cases).
