So tell me, why are you actually posting this? What's relevant here?

All of this information is relevant to the state of Monero.

Do you not agree?

But why make a seperate and new topic for it while we got an ANN topic?

It's always good to have something to look back upon in the future

agreed - when its nothing but a distant memory we can all look back and laugh.

^ Did you short Monero?

[illodin]

No you and your band of merry men have seven threads up right now. Seems you all spread yourselves a little thin :/

Actually make that eight threads. Finding which is the 8th is left as an exercise for you.

[Blazed]

Another XMR thread? I think having so many threads almost looks bad - like XMR is trying too hard here. I actually hold some XMR, but you guys bombard this section with endless threads.

There is a difference between those threads and this one.

In this thread we are talking about the state of Monero.

Trying to stick with facts like current price, market cap rating, node count, and other factual stats.

This is Bitcointalk not Monerocointalk though...

[rangedriver]

I guess this must be the thread for passive-aggressive Dash holders.

You seem to be very interested in my coin positions.

That's because I think you're a good trader.

This thread is most likely an example of "reverse trolling" in effect.

Reverse trolling: creating forum posts that are over the top in their promotion of a coin, or providing redundant information that would be more suited for the ANN thread (like this one), in order to discredit the community and make them look spammy.

The tactic is nothing new, in fact it was much worse in late 2014 during the BCX fiasco with characters like MoneroMan88.

[saddambitcoin]

There is no arrangement I have ever heard of, if that is what you are suggesting.

Poloniex is Monero friendly because Monero was the first coin to give them big volume, I believe they were also the first exchange to adopt Monero after the original Cryptonote Exchange in early 2014.

[GingerAle]

my assumption on the poloniex thing is that, for whatever reason, poloniex became the goto place for monero volume. Poloniex was not the first monero exchange, and I'm pretty sure poloniex existed before monero existed, and poloniex has enough shitcoins on there that I don't think their game is Monero. I think there game is making money. These exchanges are making a killing, regardless of the coin. I think polo is like 0.2% on each trade, each way. And now polo has lending (shorts or options or puts or whatever), so now they're making money on money that you don't even own, but then you owe it to them.

so, I don't think there's any hard relationship between monero and poloniex besides the fact that poloniex has proven to be a somewhat trustworthy, reliable, and dependable exchange. Of course, they burned a few bridges and lost some volume with the whole KYC thing they pulled with 2 days notice.

but the short answer, i'm pretty sure monero is the default load because the volume of xmr is the highest in the polo market.

and documenting the state of monero is cool. I'd recommend hosting elsewhere though, somehow. Maybe hash it and store it in a blockchain. Hosted forums can go down, get hacked, lose data, etc.

edited to add, I see this was pointed out above. whoops.

[tokeweed]

Can't all of you see it?  OP shorted Monero at Polo.

[Febo]

Someone actually did today as it is stated in Specualtion thread. But i dont understand why would this post help OP lower Monero price?

He's trying to show the people what's up with Monero.  Which, doesn't really look all well and rosy right now.  It is actually a good short imho.

Pretty much this, Alpha goy is a known Dash shill and bagholder.. he feels the need to blame his heavy losses on other coins

And there's a possibility he's the guy who shorted Monero as mentioned in the speculation thread.

Thats exactly what this thread is but it should be noted that success breads jealousy and one just need to see Bitcoin and Buttcoin to draw a parallel between venomous hatred and market penetration.

tl;dr This is good for Monero
