Opening a short position in Monero is now extremely cheap. Interest rates have been fallen to almost 0. I feel like there is a central authority who wants to release some QE packages to make Monero economy even more lively.  

Historically this has been an indication of bottomish period and one of the best periods to buy.

Personally I think its worth it to do a little bit of Monero mining right now.
I've mined about half a coin just using my video card and some CPU mining on a spare computer over the past week or two.
It may not be much right now, but if the price jumped up, it could be very profitable.
Imagine if Monero was worth even half of what Bitcoin was. You would be very satisfied to have mined one or two coins! 

Why so violent Dafar? Are you still butthurt about a bad trade or something?

I'm a permabull hodler that, after 3 straight years of witnessing bitcoin NOT becoming the uber global phenom that everyone was going on about in 2013, I believe have earned the right to be a little bearish now and then.  I still have not witnessed ANY new major Average Joe money, nor major investment money, nor major retailer adoption happen in that time either.  The only thing I've seen in that time frame is complete apathy from the general public, and the occasional PnD bullshit that we're all so familiar with by now.

So fkn sue me bitch.  Also, let's see how the year finishes up before you start calling it a full on uptrend, eh? Bitcoin has steadily been losing some marketshare ground to shitcoins for 3 years now.

Edit:
Well, well, well, looks like ol' Dafar is just as bearish too.

JJG, since you seem to like to confront people a lot, and since you are always in need of hard facts, stats, and proof over public sentiment (which is fairly palpable atm), then here you go.  Third chart at the bottom, the 3-year downtrend in bitcoin's overall crypto marketshare is as plain as day:

Doesn't change the fact that I'm a permabull.  But my patience is starting to wear thin.  Other so-called bit bulls have already moved on and left bitcoin behind.

how do you think about price monero
next monero can up to 0,02bitcoin every one monero again or not
maybe month november, if next year very long time wait to take profit

The ability to seamlessly spend xmr to any btc address is an important selling point to those of us who regard XMR as a superior store of value and speculative instrument but have occasional bills to pay.

Reminder:  You can use XMR anywhere you can use BTC, via xmr.to or shapeshift.io

The Japanese company offering utility bill payment via BTC is coincheck.com, which recently introduced XMR in their exchange platform, which offers JPY-XMR.

So Dafar, still mocking me thus far?

Quoting myself ftw.  Looks like we're just going to keep grinding down ~$10/week or so, until this bubble completely deflates.

Since there are no buyers, looks like the only thing that could put the floor in is the hashrate/mining cost, wherever that may lie.  

Yes... maybe ongoing discussion of hardforking efforts has better reception in other forums?

I think that some of the hardforking discussion is a bit looney, but it is a current dynamic that is likely to continue to have various rippling effects on the "bitcoin community"  (I put "bitcoin community" in quotes, because it is a bit of a dilemma how "bitcoin community" should be defined).

No.  And others who read this know some of them.  Some are well-known persons.  I don't think the majority of finance professionals with an interest in crypto prefer Monero over Bitcoin, but I do know that some of them do.  I don't know of any for whom Monero is currently a significant holding.  I.e. almost all of the upside in that market remains untested.  I do know that some of those who took small personal positions on my suggestion, and made large m-t-m gains, are increasing their positions, gradually.  If XMR persistently surpasses LTC, I may pitch it on a more formal basis to acquaintances in cases where I was previously reluctant to raise the topic, because of the small market cap.  Once it surpasses ETH, I doubt my intervention will be meaningful anymore, as anyone with any investment interest in crypto should know about it by then.

It is fair to call me a "permabull" in the sense that even when I have bearish short term views, I have persistent bullish longer term views.  In fact any short term views I may have, are very loosely held, because I don't generally have better information than the market, so I should in the main defer to the market on short-term discounting.  I think I have a better ability to grasp the bigger picture than the market has demonstrated, so I have stronger long-term bullish views.  So far experience has borne out my estimates regarding the longer term arc of Monero developments, but that is no guarantee of future performance.  I am perfectly capable of imagining extreme scenarios of upside which are highly unlikely to occur.  Yet I consider their possibility to be non-negligible, in general.

I don't think I have ever recommended anyone to buy Monero at a time when it would have taken them more than a year to double their money, if they did as I suggested, and DCA'd.  I was recommending BTC at very bad times, and it has taken years for those recommendations to come out from under water.  I felt bad about that, so I am more cautious now, when making recommendations.  I definitely do recommend buying Monero, here, now.  Anything under 0188 is cheap, IMHO.  Under $10, a steal.  If you are underweight, buy it.  In general, people with lower risk tolerance should expect to DCA over a year or more to minimize average draw-downs.

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.

Did you pull that trigger yet? How low can we go as chuck d says? 

Meh, not bad for long term hold

I think the days of double digits are behind us, I'm looking to swoop more coins between 150-180 while I can. I don't think those prices will last much longer either! Seems BURST is finally getting the attention it deserves.

People finally realizing that it was the FIRST to have Smart Contracts. So much more too. 2017 will be the year of BURST.

The dumps are causing more harm to Monero than benefit. The fact that as someon farts and the price drops 30-40 % as a result is caused by mass human psychology.
The arguments the bears are giving are only two: 1) "Price rose XXX% it has to drop" or 2) "The GUI is postponed, time to dump".

While the arguments of bulls are: More markets are now accepting Monero. More Moneros has been mined than never before until this very moment and thus the inflation is dropping..
Which arguments are stronger - you be the judge.

When Monero reaches the parity with bitcoin and goes beyond, please do not come here to post bearish posts.

It's a risky game you are playing. Your calls are gambling, nothing else. I think many with the same mindset were locked out for good after selling at 008 thinking that this was for sure the top and they would rebuy lower.

I hope the same happens to you, cuz I don't like your condescending tone towards investors/holders, you need to accept that not everyone is a trader.
And nobody gives a fuck about the success of your trades, so take your boasting somewhere else.
