I said you buy a cup of coffee.
Personally I make my own coffee from the cheapest quality which costs in local supermarket 1.80 euros per 500 grams. I don't use milk nor sugar, just black coffee, but I like it strong so I consume it pretty heavily per cup. I think the average price per cup is also some cents.

Yes demand will rise the price. If you study enough you may not buy Darkcoin but Darkflarb instead. However, average Junkie do not study which coin coin they use.

At least pricewise it is still below ATH that was in 2014. And since bitcoinexpress fud attack it has been trading 0.001-0.004. It goes up when it breaks records.

Bitcoin has one specific advantage, and that's network effect. However, I love also Monero. 

Never sell, just buy and hodl and see how the supple vs. demand will work hard for you. 

It is possible to go under 400 usd but not that probable anymore. More likely it will go to the moon in the coming 24 months.

Yes, last time it took 4-5 months to go 20-25 times higher (which suggests 13 k usd) and then dump around 4-6 kusd and from there to moon. The landing on the moon from now should take around 12 months from now if 2012-2013 will repeat itself. That is very visible on the charts.
This time it might be different. It may not go in the same pattern (might fall short or might go beyond).
The fundamentals are better with btc than never before. Inflation is in a level bankers might get actually interested, if not this time, at least after the next halving in 2020.

That being said, I recommend to be consistent with btc, just buy more every week, when you spend it, imagine you spend 400 k usd future value now (this makes you pretty stingy).
25 btc might buy you a nice home from the richest neighbourhoods in the world in the future, selling btc just causes you taxes so better just hodl and see what happens and not to sell if the price rises 50-10 % from now.
Imagine how much those people regret their bitcoin sales of sub 100 usd when it crossed 100 usd/btc in late 2013 for the last time. They were not able to refill it that chep never after that.

If you use Monero or any other crypto for transactions you do not care about the price.
If you want to buy a cup of coffee for 6.5 usd but pay with bitcoin, you do not care if they price of btc is 650 usd/ btc or 6.50 usd/ btc since you buy it at the same price from the markets that you spend it on coffee.

Apparently you did not read the post you quoted.
Did I speak will be around 65k in 4-5 months? If you got that understanding, please read my post again in a more careful manner with comprehension.

The bank who first buys in bitcoin gets the best deal as it can buy their first coins for 650 usd. If they drive and start defending 400k usd price their coins that they bought at 650 usd are worth 400k usd. The higher they drive it, the more they create wealth for themselves.

Do you think it is possible to reach the parity with Darkcoin (marketcapwise)?

If you are newbie to crypto (and not tech savy) you quite fast discover btc transactions are public, then you might look for an alternative and you go to coinmarketcap and see Darkcoin (and you hear it all over as well). That's the exact reason why Darkcoin will be picked instead of XMR, most people will not research fully and they are satisfied with easy solution.

Therefore it is crucial to have higher marketcapitalization than Darkcoin IMO so that Monero will be the easy solution.

Last time Bitcoin block reward halved the price stabilized to 10'sh dollar range for a few months. In 6 months from the halvening the price rose to 265 usd, then it got dumped and restarted rising to 1200 usd - and all this happened with 10 % inflation rate. Now the inflation rate is merely 4 % so the final peak might be more than 10 000 % from the current levels..

Actually one big bank can buy btc to 300 000-400 000 usd/btc if they so decide (and why not to decide).

That might be true... I think not many think GUI will be ready since it has been in the "soon"-list for 2 years already. We will see if it gets done, what kind of pump it will cause (or if there is no hype it will not cause a pump at all).

If someone wants more anonymity, they will choose Darkcoin instead I am afraid unless the marketcap will not exceed it and stay above it for ever.
I think the low volume is a sign nobody knows what to do and are waiting for some bigger movement up or down. After all, the support is in low 0.002's - there is pretty thin support around these levels.

If it goes down to my target I buy (perhaps if I have balls enough anymore).
If it goes up, I doubt it will go high enough I will bother to sell.

Therefore, I do not care if it goes up or down.

Thank you!
The volume is now pretty low.
Risto is not active here these days, promises of "soon coming" GUI are still in force however but nobody seems to care.
Price might actually drop. After rise when the volumes go down usually the price drops. And after dumps the drop of volumes is a bullish sign.
I think 25 is also a reasonable area to go... On the other hand, the whale might be planning to buy some large share of coins and waiting for the dump to come and then suddenly attack to the sellers.
It will be a great surprise of Monero is cabable to break the trading range of 0.001-0.004 with new higher trading range.
Currently I think Monero could take 0.03 (10 times higher price) IMO. And rising there will bring new members to the community and thus increase adaption.
Darkcoin community also seems not to have any urgency to join us since their coin is higher in the coinmarketcap.

Back to the topic, speculation.
So what do you guys think, up or down from here? For me both are equally good.

Even if a Forbes guy recommends buying Monero it is bullish kal vachomer buys it.
Indeed the period of early adopters is probably until 100 usd/xmr and then we enter to the period of early majority, after that late majority and finally our grandpas.
However, we are pretty far from all of these events.

You were saying you know some use cases (perhaps have contacts also?) for Monero which will lead to 1 bn market cap. How far in the future this lays, let's say, from the day GUI is officially ready and rocks? Do you see it will take weeks, months, years or decades?
The community is also capable to bid Monero pretty high. Monero is so much mined that the current coins used as collateral for Mega leverage will literally make Monero fly high. Imagine, 12 million Moneros collateralized in Polo enabling the leverage of 30 million Moneros (2.5 times)?

We do not have Forbes guys owning Monero do we?

I never recommend people to be all in or all out when it comes to investing (investing in this context means investing in a project that has good people and has some sort of opportunity to succeed).
If the userfriendliness is the only reason that prevents Monero to become popular I think Monero is a good investment then since that is a trivial to fix (= it will be user friendly sooner or later).
However, I see the weakness being that there is no pumping and hype going on with XMR. Only the hype and pumping will create the userbase. Hype creates a positive loop: it rises the price which encourages even more hype and finally the masses are following Monero like a members in some sort of cult.
