wow, this nutildah guy is one nutty troll.
His justification for hating XMR could be equally levelled at BTC (where cult-like observation is far more frequent), yet he identifies himself as professional blogger on the subject. 
And the ad hom attacks on individuals seem borne of spite and malice towards people he's never met, a display of the sociopathy he accuses them of.
All rather hypocritical.

You're on ignore...."son"

Monero....its fabulous

I like it 

You know, we are going to need to see pictures of this now infamous truck 

Looks like the EFT news is slowly/finally kicking in and BTC is going to retrace to (insert your figure).
But BTC weakness means we are approaching the XMR/BTC ATH

I do hope XMR investors don't follow the bearish sentiment as has happened of late.

"Hostile and aggressive"....well, we all have our moments I guess

Good points you make: China....yes, that's a pattern I see and have posited previously that XMR could prove attractive for the China market.  But we do quite a bit of Sino-gazing here and its an inaccurate science eg SE Asia is a big place, so attributing a buy pattern to one country based on time zones is problematic.

And fungibility is indeed going to become increasingly important; its probably going to take some sort of high profile example to bring the concept to 'front of mind' for the masses though.

Welcome.  
However, after spending some time in this thread you will realise our biggest flaw (according to our critics) is we do "no marketing".

Moneroj comes with lashings of irony though.

I don't know and think interest is something of a furphy (although given the crypto-sphere's insularity unsurprising).  Such a figure is as dependent on BTC's "value" as it is on XMR's; if BTC lost 50% of its value against the USD and Monero's dollar value remained steady you could buy twice as many BTC.  Would it matter to you?  Would that be a reflection of XMR's strength or BTC's weakness?

In terms of economic value it all gets reduced down to buying power does it not? I appreciate there are other considerations such as inflation that make these tensions more complex but let's appreciate what is happening rather than obsessing over other coins. At present Monero's buying power is (at time of writing) round about as high as its ever been. So, once more...woo hoo.

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

I've seen you post a few times using fib; I have to say I don't think you use it correctly ie your start (0%) line is usually kind of, well, arbitrary. You need to encompass both extremes of the chart you are analysing.  Use the fib tool on Polo it provides a good example of how it should be used.

I've been in crypto long enough to tell you that price is absolutely no indicator of whether something is a 'scam' (Labcoin had a great price...oh it was a scam; NeoBee had a good price but...oh yeah it was a scam...and these are just the top of head projects that were going to change the world).

And please don't start with that 'fiat is a scam' shit - crypto is not going to solve the social problems caused by economics, finance or politics or indeed human nature.

I think you are excused a little head of steam now and again esp. when dealing with fuckwits.

I'll be honest, I have no idea wtf Dash is doing -- I posted a tweet by Charlie Lee a few weeks back in which he basically said "shit tech, no real privacy and lots of hot air marketing - not for me" and I think that sums up my attitude too.  One can only apportion so much energy to this crypto-shit, its pointless obsessing over a coin that you are not invested in either intellectually or financially.  Just block it out.

But I agree with you re BTC - the cultists have had their thumb in their arses about this EFT for so long I don't think they know what to think now.  I skimmed the SEC document and i can't say there's much I would disagree with.  It may have first mover advantage but it (BTC) has taken so many wrong turns over the years (and lost sight of any guiding principals, if any really existed) that its difficult to see where it is headed. 

An interesting figure you quote there of 80% - one thing the EFT might have done is get some new money into crypto.  That would have been good for everyone.  But I'd agree with you, BTC is probably going to go down before it goes up again, perhaps a slow bleed and a further influx of 'crypto is dead' trolls. #ennui

Hi Mr K,
Been on a bit of a crypto sabbatical with a touch of lurking (been enjoying your analyses however).

I can't believe how many folks are still engaging with TC - the ignore button is your friend people.

Anyway, great to be north of 16USD again and hopefully ready to retest the ATH.
Enjoy your Sunday !!

YES.  Shroomskit...thank you guys that was driving me insane.  And the bird/dog avatar thing.
The nutters crypto attracts.

I don't know why you bother trying to engage in rational conversation with TC.

DO you remember the user who used to hang out in Adams thread a few years back and his opinion vacillated wildly from day to day, often from post to post and he was constantly winding everyone up with 'doom' or 'moon'?  I can't recall his name (driving me bonkers now) but it turned out his account was shared by a number of people living in the same house (well, that was the explanation for the split personality behaviour eventually given).

If it wasn't for the grammar and spelling I'd say it was the same with TC.

so, theres more PRC shenanigans and the Chinese exchanges are suspending BTC withdrawls.
 
Going to be interesting time for alts in general and XMR in particular.

Fun times

Yes, its safe!!

Thanks for the heads up - whatever PASC is, it was an easy way to make a few bucks

That's it, kill the mystery.

It's a thread "in-joke" the origins of which are lost in the mists of time.
