Almost two months latter it seems OP was right about Etehreum that reached 2019 ATY in September. But was not right about Bitcoin that still had not reach 2019 ATY of $13800 by now. Bitcoin will most likely do that in upcoming months before end of this year. It will look bad in years to come if that not happen. When people will show yearly highs and 2019 will be higher then 2020.

Talking about using. I noticed mid of September number of Litecoin transactions increased a lot. From around 40k a day t even 150k a day. That is a huge x4 increase. Do you maybe know why is that for?

Stable coins are always centralised. Blocking is done by by owner/developer. This also beside it is centralised also makes stable coins not permisionless. Since you need permission from owner/developler if you can or not use it

Stable coins are not cryptocurrencies!!!!

Main value of LTC is that is almost total copy of Bitcoin. Just with more coins and faster blocktime. Beside that it adds all improvements that Bitcoin adds and dont do any changes on its own. That is what LTC community likes about LTC.  Now there is plan to add some mimblewible to it fro optional privacy.  I do not think people will like and use that much.

As i watched a month ago since price swings happened with DeFi daily not during whole month.  12% is really nothing.  I personally dont see any value in any DeFi coin, but this price change swings are something you should not worry about.

It is a new found. So they plan to get fresh investors or relocate founds of existing investors.

The previously unknown Wise Origin Bitcoin Index Fund I, LP was incorporated this year. The early documentation provides little in the way of details about the fund, and shows that zero investors have currently participated. We do know that the minimum investment to join the pooled investment fund is $100,000, indicating this is likely only for institutional and accredited investors.

It is god to see that not only a bug polished Monero GUI is ready 10 days before protocol upgrade. https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/j5qbq1/gui_v01701_oxygen_orion_released/
But also Leger https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/j6ob5w/ledger_nano_app_update_173_is_now_available/
and Trezor https://blog.trezor.io/firmware-update-for-trezor-model-t-version-2-3-4-for-monero-hard-fork-c2ff972101d3
built their upgrades. Monero ecosystem is definitely maturing.

A lot of people was very negative in last few days, that is usually a good sign.  I dont expect some sharp growth this year and early next, but a small growth and month of stability and then again and again and again and again. Yes can go back for a week or so, but general sentiment should be moderately positive.  But what do I know.

We are in debt economy. Countries are indebted, why would not be individuals?  When you go buy car they almost dont want to sell you car if you want to pay it immediately. They want to offer you one of their great zero interest loans. That is how it is and that is how people learned and now live by it. Times when people knew that debts enslave them are long gone and forgotten.

You bought BTC with a reason. Ask yourself if that reason still exist. If it does then do nothing. If it dont exist anymore then sell Bitcoin.
Usually thoughts as yours appear to people that exposed them self to much to Bitcoin. That is not healthy, so I would definitely advise you to reduce your exposure to Bitcoin and invest your wealth in more other things.

All coins that was not fairly launched will sooner or later have problems with SEC in USA and with other security agencies in other countries. Premine, ICO, instamine.  Coins that was launched fairly like Bitcoin and Monero will have zero problems. That is how it is. In a normal society scam is a scam.

This OP post looks very strange to me.
First why block-reward/subsidy change every month and is not in some linear order.  Bitcoin simply have 900 btc daily block reward everyday for 4 years. I thought Etehreum have something similar. Or that it decline linear like with Monero.
Second August and September columns dont have 53.4% difference.
Very strange indeed!

No one can touch ripple labs. They are bankers. They will simply pay huge fines and just continue doing whatever they are doing.


For McAfee. He total understood crypto long time ago. But still acted totally dumb. I will never understand him.

Number of transactions in blockchain per day | 17,745

It seems new daily high. Last daily high was last Thursday at 17,430. Day after day more and more people are using Monero to preserve their anonymity.

It is more then obvious that at least some people are trying to buy. But they cant without moving market to much. 

Considering stock to flow. I just noticed today that daily emission went under 1000 XMR a day what is 1.62% yearly. So very close to Golds yearly mining emission.

They still cost money.  But yes, would be nice to get one of CCL Fantasy class ships that are just getting scraped in Aliaga. I guess budged was not high enough for that.

My take on this is simple. Monero is a lucky coin that will forever have free advertisement from companies, corporations and governments. They will write and talk about Monero. Hopefully they will also spend some time to try to understand Monero and use it for their advantage. Such advertisement other coins have to pay costly. And what is magically about it is that a lot of these people are not those that already have cryptocurrencies but no coiners and also people that rarely or even never heard of Bitcoin before.




You should never hod only one coin. But also not 10+ since then you simply cant follow development well. Having Monero for long term hold is a must.

Monero tradings was always low compared to other coins. Reason is that Monero is listed on less exchanges and on less exchanges with fake volume. CITEX? really. You can cut out volume there totally. Every single day.
What is happening to Monero have nothing to do with BitMex. BitMex of course could shocks whole crypto and with that also Monero. I dont monitor it that closely, so I dont really know how much more chances for shock there are now.
For the IRS free advertisement. Such events raise interest about Monero to people that never heard about it before. And is not just that. There was many more news. Like 40 companies enrolled on that IRS call. They choose only two. One of those 40 companies was also CypherTrace that made additional advertisement of Monero only few weeks before. Then there was also Perkinscoie legal opinion of how Monero transactions are totally compatible with KYC rules in USA and wider, that did not got that much recognition in media as it should. Combining all this with growth of transactions. Most if not all of this are totally free advertisement of Monero. Other coins are paying huge amounts of money for such advertisements.

Advertisement never instantly reflects on price. It reflects after some time. Here is me talking about it two weeks ago:



Another thing I noticed lately is how more accurate are articles in cointelegraph and in other news, as they were in last 6 years. If there were any articles at all. There are different writers or they started looking much more deeply in Monero when writing an article.

Got to 0.0103 today then back to 0.01 and now is was going up again. Would be nice to see 0.0105. Could rally out of it or just make new higher top and try again tomorrow or latter. There is still plenty of time today for all options.

Also the thrift shops. A friend in Salt Lake city opened few thrift shops about a year or two ago. He says business is booming. It was booming before covid-19 and there is no change about it now. And even if recession strikes thrift shops will be the least affected.
