Marketing is the weakness of Monero currently.
There is no marketing taking place...
...Monero is the internet's best kept secret and the community suffers from a serious lack of publicity and marketing. ...
I have felt this for quite a while. Clock's ticking, and all the advantages and strengths of Monero vis a vis other Cryptos are being appropriated by other technically inferior coins that have much better marketing. I feel bad for being so critical, when I myself am doing nothing to help the coin, but am hoping that someone with skills in the needed areas, skills which I do not have, will decide to do something before it is too late. GUI. Smart mining. Please. Before it is too late. If it is not too late already. edit:grammar GUIs - already exist. Anyone in normal space doesn't give a damn whether a GUI is official or not. My first bitcoin was managed through blockchain.info via coinbase. In fact, I never used a client / core software on my PC for bitcoin (and I bet this is true for 99.9% of the people that don't traverse bitcointalk). And I bet 99% of newcomers to monero will be quite satisfied with mymonero.com, which is equivalent to blockchain.info. Smart mining - not going to really do much for marketing, IMO. More of a nice feature that boosts the fundamentals of the currency network. Unfortunately (or fortunately for us hodlers) the easiest and most effective method of marketing would be market-by-moon. Using very curse and naive calculations based on numbers on poloniex, to hit 1 XMR = 2 BTC (which is a good moonshot, considering) would take 2557 bitcoin, or approximately 1.1 million USD. So if you know anyone with 1.1 million USD to burn and wants to make a quick buck (because the FOMO wave that this would cause would probably allow enough liquidity and demand to make a tidy sum off of this kind of bubble), have at it! For an even crazier moonshot, 9713 bitcoin would be needed, to drive 1 XMR = 5000 BTC, or 4.2 million USD. For reference, a 30 second ad in the superbowl is 4.5 million USD. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-31064972In less than 30 seconds, (clicking some things on poloniex) you could blow 4.5 million on a very effective advertising campaign for monero. How is this possible? 1.1M? It would need a over a billion surely. |

Pretty dull price action at the moment, maybe we might have a price rise in the next week or so? Banks have been on lock down over the holiday period, nobody has been able to get cash into the bank until today (I'm basing this on the massive queue's I saw this morning at 9am). Let's have another run at 500 gentlemen  I am surprised there has been no movement with the stock market news etc. |

Hi Monero thead.
Can someone give me a few reasons why to invest in Monero.
The coins available and current price are attractive but that doesn't mean moon.
Without reading all 600 odd pages here can someone point me in the right direction with regards to finding out more.
Thanks in advance.

I like to diversify but why Monero? Why not another coin?
What reason do you think Monero will reach say $100-$1000 per coin? Is Monero being used for anything at all or is anything being lined up for Monero in the future?
I am not trying to be difficult or troll like here. These are genuine questions.

One month over the top bull, next month over the top the worlds going to end bear.
Do you have a split personality or something?
Your posts started as fairly accurate predictions and then like flicking a light switch on you went from informative to a total joke and that continued.
Do 2 people use this one account??

Hi guys and girls.
I read fairly often about banks, companies etc experimenting with blockchain tech. Can someone who is far more knowledgable in the subject than myself explain to me how a company can use their own blockchain and not use Bitcoin.
I get it would need some kind of token based reward system but how would that work or do you think it's enevitable that eventually an existing crypto currency will be implemented such as Bitcoin but it's not being made known.
I am confused how they can create their own and it be better or work with a token/ reward infrastructure.
I hope my question makes at least some sense.
Thank you in advance.

Attention men!
I know you've been wondering about what makes me invisible to you. That is not necessary for you to understand. Even though i am but a beam of light, I can, at all times, see you.
ChartBuddy, ChartBuddy give me your hand
Give me somethin' that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight!
New Years is over. Put the red bull and vodka down. |

Need any electrical work done in Bitcoin castle? I am your man.
Just a slight issue that I am in England. That's the only hurdle.

You are obviously a very clever man and very successful. I have read a lot of your posts since I first joined.
Good to see people doing nice things for others. I hope to be able to do the same one day myself.

Just a heads up but Bitcoin is still 430ish as it turns 2016. I'm in the UK (so basically the future)
Just letting you Americans know.
Where's your funny accent then?  Oh and I am not northern. I don't have a pilkington accent! I am a southerner. Well then stop dropping your H's. Those are important.  Nuff said |

You are a very stubborn young man. For the last time, what is the basic principle of your invention? Is the secret of your airplane muffler more important to you than your life? I'll take the young part! Thanks! |

what is your prediction for the price at the end of 2016?
While I think the price could swing all over the place, I predict a price of $750 on January 1, 2017.
I'd say between $750 and $1k. It'll jump above and below that all year. Basically similar to your prediction. |

Not exactly 1 BTC in BTC, but i've got the equivalent of assets worth way more than 1 BTC  Get some sold and convert to 1 btc just in case we go to the moon. You'll kick yourself if we do and you aren't on board |
