Iota took the cryptocurrency market by the storm last year, it was a great iota rally in cryptocurrency and anyone holding iota at that time were rich. I think iota has great idea but the iota blockchain need to be fixed!
It doesn't have a blockchain and it's consistently improving performance with each IRA (currently has a ctps around eth's rate), but my guess is you are just notching up post for a sig campaign and can't be bothered to research your comments. |

Monero has certainly done a lot for the privacy sector but from an invesment standpoint, it is really only a currency. Stakenet is an ecosystem with broad utility and excellent privacy measures.
I recommend Stakenet ($XSN).
Then, off you go to Steaknet, i hope you like yours medium    People make fun of this dude, but I was seriously interested in how they manage anonymous staking--do they send you your share and then lose your address, like some woman losing a creep's number at the bar? |

Can anyone tell me why XMR is so cheap despite being so damn powerful, I always try to look at the negatives and positives and good old XMR is one of the most undervalued coins out there, any of you can venture an educated guess on when will it go to its fair price?
When maximalists start practising what they preach and accept Monero is more Bitcoin than Bitcoin. That or when cartels apply Monero to their cash<--accross-->borders problem. |

What will happen if eth adds anonymity to its blockchain? If it will be any need in XMR or zcash?
You can't add privacy like a feature, it has to be the raison d'ętre. As we saw from Zcash's experiment with opt in privacy, you end up with a small anonymity set and broken privacy. They want to add z-snark to eth. And another problem anonymity on low volume coins is not very good, all these transactions can be traced easily. Only eth and BTC have great volume, so IMHO they can succeed. The assumption that enough people will use it any given moment to prevent timing attacks is chimerical IMO--never mind that taint will happen regardless. Though this does highlight why Monero has no valid competition--it's not like it's hard if you have the resources to develop a privacy coin, but somehow everybody keeps repeating the same dumb mistakes. I don't know if it's greed (wanting to be both a clear and opaque ledger) or ignorance/arogance (not listening to the privacy minded community), but it's laughable how easy the competition makes it for Monero. |

People are voting for Monero just because it is a coin in the top of coinmarketcap. Pretty sure they don't have an idea how monero works .... The truest statement ever written in the entirety of bitcointalk.org. That or they checked to see which coins have richlists. Even if you don't know how a cryptocurrency works under the hood, you should be able to at least figure out that a privacy coin needs to keep what's in your wallet a secret. |

IMHO two coins from list can win the race. This can be zcash because they have a lot of money for new development. Or it can be KMD because they working hard and their blockchain is very fast as I know.
To be honest, I'd stay away from those coins. IMO the real privacy coin that is the only one worth holding is monero hands down. It has been shown to be the most private coin out of any of the other coins out there, and it has been around much longer than most of the other privacy coins out there. Small supply as well, and there are a lot of features with the wallet that other coins don't have. Not to mention you can mine directly in the wallet which is pretty cool. Buy monero! For me, monero is too strange. The main question for me: on what money works their team. You can work for free or for premined coins for a year or two, but after what will you do? You will be tired from that and go to another project. Buterin some time ago said that z snark can be implemented to eth, how will this affect to all privacy coins? For other coins to be really private they must have the huge quantity of operations or this will be fake privacy. So if I understand how works monero development I will agree with you. Donations. People who care about the project donate their time and/or money. The reason a corporate model doesn't fit for a privacy coin is because the team can be corrupted or targeted. The question shouldn't be "why doesn't Monero use a central team funded by an ICO or company?" It should be, "Why does any privacy coin risk their project by centralizing development?" |

Which do you feel has an overall brighter prospect for the future?
In my opinion it is XMR, from a technical and team point of view.
However, once confidential transactions are implemented on to Bitcoin, it is hard to see purpose for any other privacy coin.
CT doesn't fix taint, which means coinbase or any other exchanges following KYC/AML will lock you out of your account on suspicion--your tx will stick out like a sore thumb. Optional privacy is the same thing that plagues ZEC, so until it and BTC add mandatory privacy, XMR wins easily. |

There is one winner here and that is Bitcoin, I know some people think BTC is not a privacy coin but it is absolutely one and will certainly shallow all these Altcoins. There are alot of privacy features that would be added to it in coming months and the tech would be better than what if have seen in the space
You right dude,bitcoin is privacy coin and theres a lot of stupid and fool people there claiming that its not i dont know whats the motive behind this maybe they just wanna put down the number one coin so their shitcoin may have good position and ratings.but in the end it was bitcoin who i choose The only fool is someone who doesn't understand the corolation between pseudoanonymity, linkability and blockchain analytics--if you can't put these concepts together and really need privacy, have fun with authorities or criminals looking to monkey wrench you from your stash--though I'm guessing if you can't make the link, you aren't hodling enough for it to matter in either case. |

Yes Bitcoin is one of the best crypto but it is not a privacy coin. Monero is the best choices if you want a privacy coin and besides it has a ring confidential transactions. The question is: Why would you need more privacy than Bitcoin already offers?Already waiting for the XSpec-Shitcoin-Shills spamming the thread Because you want to be able to spend your money without worrying if some scrypt kiddy is going to target you for extortion or worse. If Hal Finney and the Evolution devs can't make BTC private enough, there's little hope for the morons on bitcointalk. But I'm sure your OPSEC is flawless  |

 Not suprising since Richard Soley joined the IF, but IOTA is begining the formal process for becoming an IOT standard in two weeks. |

Couldn't buy in the 0.014 zone, now I'm trying not to FOMO in but the price just doesn't want to stop
That's so Monero predictable for September  It seems to me that Monero started losing its popularity several months ago but now, it is popular again. I do really love this safe and fast altcoin, and I will be holding it for long. I don't think Monero lost popularity. It's still one of first peoples know about when they discover cryptos. And for know still the best anon coin. the real use case for monero is untraceable transaction, alongside with dash zcash xvg, xmr tx is totally hidden, good for privacy unlike other token like EOS vchain or erc20 token has no real use case fundamental value of monero : privacy/masked money transaction but that doesnt mean you should abuse it for "illegal activity", it is for individuals who prefer privacy, yeah you know that FTFY, also other coins can have usecases without privacy--I get why you need privacy for digital cash, but that doesn't invalidate other ways to approach different problems. Doesn't matter if narrow mindedness comes from political affiliations or ignorance--the result is usually a wall of white noise. |

"The possibility exists that 1 billion in bitcoin could black-swan dive into Monero tomorrow"
Is it tomorrow already?
Given that rational investors are well aware that when maximalists chant, "Decentralized! Censorship resistant!" in their quest to distance themselves from shitcoins, they also point out that if those are the value proposition for a cryptocurrency, then Monero is more valuable. So maybe tomorrow, tomorrow-- |

Yes, today's strength is very strong. But I think this is only temporary, and Bitcoin can be achieved by breaking through $7,000. But I think the market will continue to decline.
bitcoin will go up to 7000+ and dominance will go to 60% all of these coins will go back to their low value Historically BTC loses market share in bull markets and overall--it was >90% up until 4 years ago and has been in decline since--I really doubt that trend changes given its primary use is for buying alts and direct fiat alternatives are increasing, not decreasing. |
