I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.

After reading this, the scale of black market and digital economies and the effect Monero will have on them I am pretty certain we are going to be very wealthy men -- even with a sum as small as 10 Monero. It's just so hard to believe. We are only in the beginning storms with these significant rallies from 50 cents to 50 dollars. I will not be surprised to see prices from hundreds to thousands in the coming years.

The world just isn't going to be the same and we have been blessed as the pioneers.

What are you going to do with your Monero wealth once your coins hit upwards of $10,000 a pop?

[NoirSuccubus]

Tf?

[spartak_t]

Oh, WOW....

[huadylmate]

10k a pop you say? Why not 100k! I am feeling a little crap with that so I would give the profit to charity.

This is why crypto is a joke. Idiots like op make all of us look retarded.

What so you don't believe it can reach 10k?   This is what makes us all look like negative Johns.

If Monero solves anonymity/privacy best (it does), is scalable (it is), had a fair launch (it did), and has a great development team (they are), then why couldn't it reach those levels?

there are two kinds of reasoning by people: one is by deduction, where one uses a theory and concludes what are the effects on reality - as well as you, I and probably a large group of monero follows this kind of reasoning.

the second to make sense of reality is by induction: you look what is real (a price of somewhat 50 cents) and conclude that it is at best delusional to say xmr will be worth 10 or 100 fold this amount. well basically your theory is derived by reality and not by logic.

I think these threads are not that helpful because they scare the second group and are not news for the first one

nevertheless I share pegasus opinion that we could be the new wealthy elite

so essentially replacing rich greedy bankers with rich greedy wankers   so then the whole point would have been 

[tokeweed]

Since it's in altcoin, the title should say "We are the new elite... bagholder's edition"

Please show me JUST ONE person who use Monero in black market.

I would assume at least one  XMR.TO or Shapeshift user does, but pretty sure that they use it to remain unshown.

10,000 $$  = 1 monero

you have some mental problems, a doctor is the way .

Similar to the issues you must have, having a scam buster avatar but being one of the worst dirty scammers on the forum. More chance of 10k then you being honest isn't there.

That's the point.  Unlike bitcoin, Monero is private, so I can't show you.  However, I'd honestly rather they didn't.  Bitcoin has enough of that stench on it already, and I'd rather avoid the whole debacle this time around...  But because Monero is so good for this, it's likely it will find some use in that sector.  But between you and me?  I'd just as rather Shadowcoin and Shadowcash took over that job. 
 
My vision is that Monero doesn't just take the dark market economy, it takes away the whole thing. 
  
Fundamentally, it improves on bitcoin in a significant way.  It's not even debatable; it's a new protocol that vastly surpasses the original, and did everything right with its launch.  The only criticism you can have is that the devs are perfectionists and there's no official GUI wallet yet.  
  
Take a look at this link; it's head and shoulders above litecoin, or Dogecoin, or MegaUltraCoolCash9000.  Bitcoin succeeded because it wasn't just hype.  There was a fair launch of an amazing new technology -  just like this.

[celestio]

I have come to the conclusion that along with Bitcoin, there's going to be one major other cryptocurrency that stands alongside it. This is because there are niches in cryptocurrencies. The biggest one by far is anonymity.

In order for Monero to get "big", it'd need to infiltrate the darkmarkets(get widely accepted in them) and this is only a matter of time. More and more blockchain "spying" is being done, as shown by the FBI agent that was caught laundering DPR's bitcoins with the help of blockchain analysis(Not a bad thing, just an ex).

[3x2]

If you are so sure then you should sell everything and buy more monero.

[Wexlike]

Wow, you turned into a monero super bull in just 2 days. Welcome

[Flyskyhigh]

Mintcoin is better than Monero.

[obit33]

Mintcoin is better than Monero.

why?
