What great arguments Sir... Your refutation of my points have completely convinced me.

That was put aside because RuffCT would need trusted setup. Monero Research Lab is still looking at progress of it, but as it is right now it cant be added to Monero.

The GUI is pretty functional, I don't think serious holders (hodlers?) are all on exchange at all.

An HW will come - it's a matter of time only, it's simply that Monero is more sophisticated than other Bitcoin 'clones' and therefore not as simple to copy/paste code into a standard HW.

Monero is superior tech, they need to catch up, not us.

Clearly he didnt buy 60k xmr , or that could be a small amounT.
And if he did buy it , he surely sold it all last year or early 2017.
Hes not Roger ver   , how can people hodl that long?

Rule, Monero! Monero rule the waves.
Monerists never shall be slaves.

On the other hand, they will pay high fees: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactionfees-eth-bch-ltc-xmr-zec.html

Interesting it is, that we have 64x the Reddit subscribers that bch has, but only ¼x the transaction count.

Just curious why you think Monero is technically superior. It has a larger market cap and is (at least for now) more widely spread, but technically superior??

Monero is different, yes. For instance, it uses PoW whereas XSPEC uses PoS. Technically speaking, these are just different choices (if you care for the environment and sustainability, you could argue that only PoS is an ethically acceptable choice, but that's a different question). If you talk about ToR, XSPEC is actually more advanced than Monero. XSPEC already has a working technology in place, whereas Monero has plans.

So I would argue from a technology perspective, particularly regards anonymity, XSPEC is in some areas more advanced than Monero.

But they definitely have different feature sets, which provides a choice.

You know shit is getting real when the Monero Reddit server says it can not serve your request because it is "too busy" at the moment.

Well this is very much on topic. I would like to know if anyone can answer how Monero replaced LTC at Poloniex as the second trading coin?

I could speculate (like the title of this thread asks me to do), but someone must have an answer

Monero community looks more and more like verge.
Trying to hype people into buying.
Monero is NOT as good as it claims.
Many new privacy coins are taking their place above Monero, implementing better scaling and safer privacy features!

No, I just mean I can never quite bring myself to click sell on monero. Even when it looks like a good opportunity.

PS I was rather drunk at the time. Sorry if its not the most coherent post, also did little for my annonymity.  

There's little choice when the system becomes unuseable for people to run in the first place.
Already it takes several days to do a full sync on a fast connection with proper hardware.

Guys, what do u think of the so called " crypto bubble " , i hear so much about the bubble the last 6 months... i have to admid , i fear the bursting bubble a bit but on the other hand,
i cant seem to believe it will burst already ... more and more people see btc or crypto as a safe haven ... in my opinion i think it all has to begin yet ...

any other opinions?

Not to pop your bubble, but i doubt there's any whale that would invest in Monero as long as its coin supply is infinite.
Yes i know you call it tail emission which doesn't make it any better. It's by far the worst property of any coin.
It assures people the value will decrease over time.

All the non-arguments about fees not being enough to keep the miners active are so tiresome, there's no evidence to support that claim and completely oversees the fact that it is self balancing system.

Sure some coins get lost here and there but to assume you can even get a rough estimate of how much this would be is delusional. Why would the coin supply need to stay level? What is wrong with remaining coins being more scarce and gaining value?

If somebody were to fork Monero with a hard cap, now THAT would be a serious competitor in the market.

This right now is nothing but a pump and dump. Infinite coins wheeeee, infinite coins for everybody (just because it's 'slow' doesn't matter, still infinite, making the real value exactly 0)

I like Monero but I always like to compare my coins to the competition, and in this case, the competition is unfortunately ahead and much more superior than Monero. Zcash, do I need to say more? Why is Zcash the most well capitalized crypto out there (focusing on private transactions?). There must be a reason for that, they simply have a better technology than Monera and this has been confirmed by so many. Monero doesn't even only have such competition, they have other competitors out of their industry (privacy sector) such as Ethereum, which will soon implement the same technology that Zcash is using. So you'll have Ethereum that can do all these crazy things (smart contacts) and do them privately, and then have Monero which can only do one thing, transact privately. Why would you choose Monero over that?

He wastes your time only if you give him your attention. Just ignore him.

We are used to misguided trolls here, it is usually a good sign, in fact.

You are really wasting your time though, we know you're probably a poor fool bein paid, or maybe someone pathetically talking your own book  - but sorry, it just doesn't work here.  Your entire reason for your poorly spelled postings (whatever is is) is simply pointless.

I love that he thinks this works. It's like he has OCD and thinks flipping the light switch 3 times wards off bad luck. 

Guess we'll never know for sure. It's fucking unpredictable. People were waiting for 6K blast, and here we are   And yea, it's all fucking happening before the 2X shit, if this would have occured after 2X, things would have make more sense. Well, who am I to decide in which direction the market goes, let's sit tight and see where we go from here.

I don't really consider this current price movement to be much of a bad place, at all.

I mean, a week ago, we really did go from $4,900 to $5,800 in a few hours, and then for the past week we have been dabbling in this $5,300 to $5,800 territory.. Yeah, we want the price to go up, we want it to go up, but gosh, a break in the going up (or a pause) might not be a bad thing - and that is why it is not very easy to predict, whether we get another correction or we proceed with pushing ATHs.

To me it had seemed that we were going to get an ATH  in the early November time frame (which would be preceding the Segwit2x Hardfork) and then we would have some correction around the forktime with FUD and uncertainty and blah blah blah, and then a market-wide realization that bitcoin is resilient to such stupid ass (and ill prepared) renegade hardfork nonsenses, and then another rally to take us to 2x-ish or more.. ...

A problem with my whole theory is that the ATH pushing of last week came too quickly and a bit premature in mid-October, so we have a bit of time to kill.. and to stall.. and we gonna it does not seem to be the right thing to get another ATH and another ATH, and all of these ATHs before mid-November, then that means that the ATH pushes have come to bitcoin too early and have gone too high, and therefore we are likely good to have some coiling and pausing in a $3,800 to $5900 .. and maybe even down to $3600 (like Jojo mentioned) might not be a bad thing.. to help the coiling... and to stave off overinflating too much.

Blast from the past to see a graph I put together more than 3 years ago.  How on earth did you find it?

But I'm not sure of the relevance of that old data to much today? 

And, in case not obvious, all of those BTC / XMR figures should have "0.00" before them - i.e. "400" refers to 0.00400.  Back in the day, those were the decimal ranges we were used to.
