Currently, Monero is holding 11th place in terms of market capital and worth whopping $220.89. The all-time high was around an astounding $495.84 on 7th January 2018. The monero is available on the variety of popular exchanges. Most volume goes through Poloniex, HitBTC, and Bittrex. Other exchanges include coin-swap, BTer, Melotic, CryptLocal, and Shapeshift. Monero’s supply schedule is a hybrid of Litecoin and Dogecoin. For Monero, a new block is appended to its blockchain every 2 minutes, similar to Litecoin’s 2.5 minutes. Like Dogecoin, however, it will have a small degree of inflation for its entire life beginning in May 2022, when 0.3 Monero will be released every minute, totaling 157,680 Monero every year. At that time, there will be 18.1 million units of Monero outstanding, so inflation in that first year will be only 0.87 percent. As we head further into the future that inflation decreases as the base of Monero outstanding increases. Interestingly, in 2040 there will be nearly equivalent units of bitcoin and Monero outstanding, and in the period of 2019 to 2027, Monero’s rate of supply inflation will be lower than Bitcoin’s, but in all other periods, the opposite is true.
Expectedly, Monero’s ability to create privacy in transactions was a technological breakthrough that was recognized within the crypto asset community and the markets. By the end of 2016, Monero had the fifth largest network value of any cryptocurrency and was the top performing digital currency in 2016, with a price increase over the year of 2,760 percent. This clearly demonstrates the level of interest in privacy protecting cryptocurrency. Some of that interest, no doubt, comes from less than savory sources. please comment you thoughts on Monero whether it is good crypto asset to hold for long term?
