1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: May 23, 2017, 11:22:29 PM
(Amanda B is great) Huh?  What are you talking about?  Watch her videos, every 15-45 seconds there's a hard edit in the middle of a thought or sentence even. That tells me that she is being spoon fed information, or she can't remember that long of a line in order to spit it out as a single coherent thought!  I've tried to watch 2 or 3 and they were all edited the same way... I don't get the impression that she has more going for her than a pretty face amongst a bunch of nerds!

I've seen her do some speeches and she is clearly in grasp of at least some of the technical details.  It's not like she is a core developer and I've always seen her as a pretty faced spokesperson, which is her job and nothing wrong with that.  I don't care if she is reading a script that someone else wrote much of the time.  That's her job and she does it well and it does well for DASH.

Finally some crypto justice overtaking Bytecoin. Hope it'll last.

Ha, yes I had the same thought and now we need to chase down DASH but will take another 30% to do that and reaching $1 billion market cap...unless DASH drops.

DASH does have better marketing (Amanda B is great) and probably better wallet software, so I'm not surprised it is higher but yes at least we pushed Bytecoin back down to #8 for now.

I'm starting to feel a little bad that I sold 1/4 of my XMR at half of the current price just over a week ago, but I still have a lot left.  What really kills me is how I sold 100% of it last year before the meteoric rise (or was that in 2015)?    Anyway at least I bought a bunch back earlier this year and it's my largest holding and I'm up 150% on it now.  That is not as nice as 2500% like I should be but at least it's something.

Waiting for news tomorrow I guess, but if Monero gets added to Coinbase we could easily see $100 in the next few months maybe?

We could see $100 in a few days.  Anything is possible in this crazy market right now.  Didn't XRP go up 2000% in a week or two?   100% from here on big news is very possible.  Although not sure if XMR is ready to be a $1 billion coin yet.   But $750 million market cap, similar to DASH seems rational.

I regret selling 25% of my Monero holdings this past weeks just to diversify, Fluffy just said BIG NEWS coming tomorrow. Finally some fu**ing news = kind of marketing we needed.



 I did the same thing and sold 25% of my XMR a week or so ago at about $25.  Ouch.  I left a lot of profits on the table there, but I had to adjust my asset allocation and don't feel terrible about it, although it was bad timing.

Up to $50...huge milestone.   Congrats to all, although of course we could drop back down to $35 very easily, especially if BTC pulls back hard.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: May 23, 2017, 06:28:24 PM
XMR is rocking and to fresh new USD ATHs...up to $49.50 now...   It wants to catch Bytecoin and regain the #8 slot that is rightfully XMR's.  Still a ways to go, but BCN will probably pull back some and make it easier

Then the next target is to finally get revenge on DASH but would take another 50% gain in XMR to catch it.   Anything is possible though in this wild crypto market.

cryptox is online again.
but why didn't you choose a more established exchange like bittrex, livecoin or cryptopia at least?

Who are you talking about who "chooses" what exchange KMD is traded on?  The exchanges decide that, not anyone else.
8  Economy / Speculation / MMM Global ponzi scheme just shut down for now... Sell signal? on: October 31, 2015, 08:02:42 PM
If the Ponzi is closed, then all that crazy China volume could easily disappear overnight and then there goes the artificial support for the price.

I'm selling here just to be safe and will buy back at $280 or so.

I didn't bother to close my Dwolla acct but I never do anything with it now and when they send me emails, I treat them as spam and delete immediately.  Maybe the fed gov't pressured them, but I still view them as enemy to bitcoin and they bailed on us, so forget them.

I own them to make a profit on them.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Merchants that accept Bitcoin and settle in USD are driving the price down on: January 10, 2014, 11:32:26 AM
Yes when someone buys something with BTC, it gets converted back to USD in many cases but how do you think they get the BTC in the first place?  They usually have to buy it, which drives the price up.

And the point is that they more people who are using BTC, the more people are holding it at any one time and that means less supply on the market and higher BTC prices.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Overstock.com's News on Accepting Bitcoin, Underwhelming Price Boost. on: January 10, 2014, 11:30:14 AM
I think it's because this wasn't "news".  Overstock announced it would be accepting bitcoin payments weeks ago, and at that point it DID boost the price.e

They didn't announce that they would be accepting bitcoin payments, they announced that they PLANNED to accept bitcoin payments in about five months.   That was far from a sure thing and a lot could have gone wrong before then (including changing their mind).   

So it is significant "news" that a major retailer is actually taking bitcoin.  However the chart was already screwed up plus the recent bad news out of China and the mining bad news, so was too much to overcome.

They are accepting BTC NOW.

Yes that was my point.

It had been "cleared" ?  You do seem new if that's the best way you can describe what happened.

Why don't you tell us if the coins were sent to another address....you can tell that from the blockchain.  Maybe you just don't have your wallet file loaded correctly or many other possibilities.

I just ordered something and checked out with bitcoin so it is not a rumor, it is a fact and works just fine. 

Please try to find something you need on there and order it and pay with BTC so we can reward them for making this bold step and helping our community and the world as a whole.

20  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: GHASH.IO IS NEARING 51% – LEAVE THE POOL on: January 09, 2014, 11:14:42 AM
Also apparently it's slightly more profitable to mine on GHash.IO for normal miners, if true (I doubt it is) people have incentive not to leave.

they do have incentive to leave if it gets to 51% or more and brings down the entire BTC network.
