Looks like the Polo trading engine fucked up. Affected all the markets.

Ethereum is doing exceptionally well right now.
Monero new bottom seems to be above $20.
Dash will be above $80 for a while as it seems.

We were probably going up a little bit too fast anyway. It seems like some peeps were getting a bit too excited.

From here 0.018 looks like a reliable floor taking the 38.2% retracement from the wave: 0.009222 - 0.02349.

Target is still 0.036+.


While some people might be excited I am still frustrated to see Dark coin replacing Monero as the market leader in anonymous currencies.
I hope there can be 2 anonymous coins but I am afraid there cannot be...

Monero is the market leader, just look at the blockchain usage

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

What is the donation address - couldn't see it on a quick look.

It is just an founding idea not an actual founding request yet.



Seems funny that Coinbase employees  write Monero guides.

https://medium.com/@linda.xie/a-beginners-guide-to-monero-7a5df2c50ed9#.nxzytile0

And a few Coinbase employees helped her write it - but it does have the 'not a coinbase endorsement' qualifier at the end.  Bodes well, though.

Especially considering her other articles include a "Beginners Guide to Ethereum".   Shocked Shocked

Don't speak like that or otherwise I need to raise my lowest sell order...  Undecided Cool

My current speculation is that Aminorex will pay a visit any day now.

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


Post this to the Dark coin threads.  Wink

Is anyone else a little scared by the speed of this rise?

After seeing Dark coin rising from sub Monero levels to 100 usd each I do not care even rises like these... I guess Dark coin set the new golden standard to Monero...  Embarrassed
367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dash To 1000$ on: March 15, 2017, 07:13:44 PM
LOL....

ok, when the shills start posting here and in the DASH thread (wow look at that all these users come from NOWHERE when dash is flying, but were nowhere when dash was quiet) then you know it's time to sell before dump.

You see, the problem is that many people that are interested in cryptocurrencies don't actually know which one of the +750 coins would be the coins that are legit and which got a potential to rise. I saw Dash in last December when I put some money in Bitcoin, but I did not and still don't trust Altcoins more than I trust BTC so I preferred not to make the investment. Out of the many hundreds of coins out there, who knows which one will be the best? Investing in them means risking, and not all of us can afford the risk so many times.

I somehow feel nostalgic at the moment because I remember reading these kinds of threads about Bitcoin, but I was reading them in 2013 when it was already too late. Now I see similar threads but about Dash, which makes me wonder whether the same thing will happen to it or not Cheesy I wonder what would happen to Bitcoin if Dash gets past its price.

Unlikely, if the price of Dark coin rises towards 1 btc, there might be hackers, Chinese miners may not want Dark coin to overtake their business.

Hmm, hackers could scare away both Bitcoin and Altcoin investors, so I don't know how good such an idea would be. As you have probably seen in the past, for example last year with the Bitfinex hack, many people are getting scared away because this is what happens. You wouldn't trust it anymore either for a moment and you will have to decide whether it's better to hold or quickly sell. And with the Dash rising up against Bitcoin, there will probably also be a big community rising with it. It would be interesting and scary at the same time to see a "war" between the Bitcoin and Dash on the markets...

If Dark coin is hacked or attacked some other way by exploiting a vulnerability it will only have positive affect  both to bitcoin and its hedge Monero.

Should i sell my monero right now and then wait for it to be dump to buy and stack in again? What do you think guys im thinking that deep to sell or to stack another coin for the future.

Never base your trading on the advice of the trolls who are speaking into their own book.
You need to decide yourself what to do and take full responsibility of the outcomes of your decisions.
370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 15, 2017, 04:22:40 PM

Dash is no competition to Monero.  We know that.  
...

Disagree. It is competition, and strong competition at that. It is not as good, on paper, but nevertheless is winning in the marketplace, for now. As they say in sports, “That’s why they play the games.” The question should be “Why?” Or maybe, “How, and can Monero overcome Dash’s lead?”

The "Dash is a scam" argument doesn't work. Open your eyes. Look at the price.
Fiat money is a scam too. No one cares.

Got it in one. As a "clueless noobie", to quote a relentless troller on the Dash thread, I see that those in the Monero camp have a massive blindspot, about how, despite being less than a pristine and pure coin, Dash is succeeding. On Planet Monero, marketing seems to be a bad word, and user friendliness? Pshaw, too smart to need that!

Come on! If that is what it takes to elevate a "flawed" coin like Dash to greatness, then how amazing could a "superior" crypto like Monero be, if that strategy were adopted? Please be dispassionate, and look at it without bias. If Monero is technically better than Dash, and yet Dash outperforms Monero, then what could the difference be?

From this clueless noobie's viewpoint, the keys to domination in the Anonymous Coin Game appear to be marketing and user friendliness. And having trollers in the penalty box could be considered a negative factor as well.

Despite having better players, Monero is massively behind on points, as Dash is working better as a team, and its strategy is superior. Is it too late for Monero to learn this? The Anonymous Coin Game will only have one winner. Can M come from behind? Will D hang on for the win? Stay tuned!

Is Team Monero really better than the Dash team, if it is losing? It looks to me like Monero, is not a complete team. To this “clueless noobie”, it looks like it needs marketing, and user friendliness. It’s like a team with great scorers, fantastic skaters… but no goalie.

Edit: no offense intended. I now own Monero, Dash and yes, Bitcoin.

Usually I do not endorse newbies but you nailed it.
Dark coin (please use term Dark coin because the name was changed in order to trick money from the people who do not do their research) is direct and the most relevant competitor to Monero, Etherium is not the competition of Monero but Dark coin sure is because they both serve the very same niche.
Monero needs now desperatively the things you said - a lot of ongoing marketing hype (not just a couple random vids from a guy in the garage) but consistent pumping and presentations of reasons why people should be adapting Monero like never before. And as you said, user friendliness.
Actually the competition is a good thing because it forces Monero to grow marketcapwise and reach such level of professionalism as Dark coin has.
371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 15, 2017, 03:51:27 PM
For all of you lending out thousands of Monero especially at really low rates... just think about it for a moment. Right now we have about 190,000 XMR available to short and a good share of them are available at VERY low rates. While Dash on the other hand has only about 17,000 and yes I know some are currently shorting Dash but, even when their price was much lower the numbers were still about 8 or 9 to 1.  That makes it extremely easy for anyone with some btc to short Monero at a very low cost and in big numbers and drive that price down. 

The MasterNode scheme does one thing effectively and that is remove huge numbers of coins from the market for trading AND for lending, thus raising the cost to short and making it easier to keep a pump going to these really extreme levels.

Please re-examine your lending habits, if we all quit squabbling over the scraps maybe Monero would make some headway as far as price goes.

And yes that include you TC!


Usually during the pump it has been easy to lend Moneros. Now it appears that there is no takers for short positions... 
I guess that can be considered bullish - they just need a trigger to flood into the extensive long positions in Monero. If that happens, it is possible even reach parity with Dark coin (I hope so).
There are at least two options I am seeing: 1) All the speculators care is Dark coin and they forget shorting Monero 2) Shorting Monero is considered as a terrible move and that the price of Monero is expected to get its pump.

You must have a magical ass, sir.

Thankyou, I hear this a lot.

I refuse from the bet and that offers you a nice exit from others who might want to take advantage of your generous offer.
Instead you might be spending 1 btc better in buying something nice as a surprise to your wife/girl friend / boy friend / anyone significant to you.

So be it.

Offer is now closed.

P.S Actually, 1000 XMR is approximately 14 BTC, but I respect your decision regardless.

I hope your ass is right though.  Wink

As there is 25 % chance (in my personal opinion) to lose the bet I chose not to bet on that.

That's a shame. You could have made some easy money there.

Let me know if you change your mind.

Bear in mind, I do kinda pull all these numbers out of my ass... so I wouldn't get too excited.  Wink

What do you think about new ATH on a btc pair? Will we be able to set it in the spring? I think we can see 0.02 very soon but can we bit 0.0265 despite new btc price?

I doubt that it will achieve new ATH any time soon... The chances are Monero is heading towards long term apathy period same as in 2014... But I am glad if you guys prove me wrong here...  Cheesy

I never looked at year 2014 as apathetic year for Monero.  Maybe last 3 months. But it was sort of expected price will decrease because of so much new Moneros being mined everyday.

As apathetic year I would call 2015. Price hit the bottom. And specially people that did not cautiously monitor what developers do, could even thought development stopped. January 1st 2016 of course this changed. 0.9.0 "Hydrogen Helix" hit Cryptospace like a tornado.

Monero started in 2014 too high in my opinion and that's the reason it dropped from 0.004 to 0.001 with the help of some F.U.D.


Lol, yes it was to high and some bought it way to expensive Tongue  But now we do have it. Some sadly dont have any.  What will they do now?

I made the mistake to buy too much for 0.004.

The other mistake I did last year was ignoring Etherium when it was cheap. The mistake of 2017 from me is probably ignoring Dark coin.

Well, by passing $18.40 (and breaking $19) we have now achieved the ATH price when measured against the USD.

I would suggest this metric is actually far more reliable than the BTC market since last Sept (the last generally regarded ATH) BTCs price was about 50% less against the USD than it is today.  Compared to BTC the USD has been relatively stable over the same period.

If BTC's price was the same today as back then, we'd be around 0.05BTC.

So....whoo hoo Smiley

How large portion of your coins you sold?

But I am glad if you guys prove me wrong here...  Cheesy

Wanna make a bet for a few BTC? I say XMR will hit ATH within the next 18 days. You can bet against.

We can use a mutually trusted escrow if you like.

Game?

In the binary betting I give the odds for new ATH in terms of bitcoins within 1 month or so 25 % and no ATH 75 %.
As there is 25 % chance (in my personal opinion) to lose the bet I chose not to bet on that.

Bear in mind, this is not Dark coin which is a wet dream of a speculator (which I was told by one of their community member - but the timing of that was wrong - anyway with correct timing I would not have believed in him/her).

Definitely when Dark coin drops significantly the hoarding of them is a no brainer because it will eventually be pumped back up. In case of Monero I am not so sure....  Undecided

I wish you all the best and I hope everything will be fine with you.

And for everybody involved. And soon Smiley

Let's hope so!  Smiley

BTW, infinite money is a topic that interests me personally. You told somewhere that you still believe there is a such concept. I am curious to know how it works and how it has worked with you?

BTW 2: If she (your wife, soon ex-wife) has ever loved you she never can forget you. Women tend not to forget their first loves and especially if they have been in intimate contact with him. Despite it is not common that divorced couples will re-marry it still is possible. Never say never I guess... Sometimes living apart from each other without marriage will make both to think differently. And if you never will find the spark anymore with her just try to be in friendly relationship for the sake of your common children.  Smiley Just my 2 cents.
