In my case, after correctly estimating that Bitcoin has a 75% chance to die after dropping 90% from $32 in 2011, but a 25% chance of recovering to the ATH, I should have invested 25% of my net worth to it. And so should you ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think you underestimate the probability of XMR achieving large magnitude gains. But I would argue that you (probably - I do not know) have already reached a share of market cap such that further increases would only damage the upside, and hence should not make the Kelly bet. The irony is that even today, I explained to 2 wealthy ~50y guys, how the 3 investment approaches compare: - cash flow regardless of valuation (Buffett, RE owning) - valuation regardless of cash flow (RE development, speculation) - long shot: +EV regardless of the chance of losing all (Kelly betting) They are so mentally inclined to the 2 former ones that even the presenting of mathematically clear case of 1000x return in 5% probability in 3 years (268% expected APR), did not make them invest the 5% of their worth (or any smaller amount for that matter) to it. If you can accurately predict your EV on all three situations employing a full Kelly strategy with regard to money management optimizes growth in all cases. On high EV high perceived probability bets though it often turns out to be very aggressive and large percentages of the bankroll. Accurately predicting EV in investing though is quite difficult of course though.

Hello guys! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I took an hour to read the thread from beginning to end, as I was thinking what platform to use as the high-quality high-SNR medium of talking about Monero. It was funny to find that I've been preaching essentially the same things ever since the beginning, with of course more information coming and changing the tone of voice and focus to different things. Just today, I made the appearance to the Polo trollbox as HM_The_King (a tribute to my character in Crypto Kingdom) and told that the failure of Monero is in my estimation 75% certain and significant gain happens at 15% probability (10% being a wash) in 5 years' timeframe. And that due to these numbers, XMR is the best investment I have ever encountered in my life. My thinking has not changed, this aspect is visible in my earlier writings, just more pronounced in the more recent ones. I think it is especially important to open this up when promoting XMR as investment, because: - In the longer term, people who have no concept of the VC investment strategy, end up blaming you if the investment goes bust (and it's depressing to be blamed most of the time, since most of these investments do go bust - 70% is a typical VC total_loss rate). Yet they attribute all gains to their own foresight. - In the shorter term, even if you can coerce somebody to buy, chances are that he is clueless about what the value is, and sells way too early, no matter at a profit or at a loss. Professional Venture Capitalists never sell prematurely. They only EXIT, which is defined as selling the investment at its full and realized value. They take the risk of variance in returns, and get rewarded handsomely. So should you.

Don't worry about who you convince and who you don't convince. Everyone makes their own choices and must take responsibility for their own choices. Betting on a 90% chance of losing everything with a 10% chance of becoming freed from debt-slavery is a very easy decision for me, though it seems hard for others. Because I believe I can make that bet 20 times before I die.

Anonymous jokers never had 50k to begin with. The guy was a miner, he needed the money and would have sold anyway. Making the video gave him some good laughs when compiling it. But I don't believe he lost anything since he did not sell for the video. He probably soon has the stash replenished and needs to consider the prudent course of action. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I am not downplaying the legendary timing of the video and am grateful of the nice pic in it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

It is always good to see how you rank compared to others in owning a coin. But how? With Monero, the blockchain provides no help in determining balances. So the distribution of holdings must be constructed purely theoretically. What we use in the analysis of this post is just the following information: - Number of XMR (about 2.2 million when this was done); - Assumption that the distribution follows power law for the highest 3% of the holders (it does if we are talking about general wealth) - the power law distribution has the property that the owners of 100-200 coins collectively own the same number of coins as the ones owning 200-400 coins etc. But their number is 2x higher (because the other group was 2x richer), and the density is 4x more (because not only there was 2x the number of people, but also the bracket is in absolute terms only half the size); - Below that, the distribution forms a nice bulge centered around the median holding and drops quickly towards insignificant holdings; I have calculated 2 possibilities that give the result for both 5,200 and 13,200 holders. The results are presented in logarithmic brackets that are 0.333 log10 units wide (unlike my usual precision of 1 log unit, this gives 3 times more information). The exact form of the very top (holdings of the top-5 or so holders) affects the distribution somewhat, but with XMR it cannot be deduced either directly or statistically. I have assumed that the Case A scenario has a large outlier but Case B does not have it. Case A - 5,200 holders: min max avg #ppl tot.xmr 17 280 000 1 280 000 16 100 000 - 215 443 142 600 1 171 034 15 46 416 - 100 000 66 189 3 171 034 14 21 544 - 46 416 30 722 6 171 034 13 10 000 - 21 544 14 260 12 171 034 12 4 642 - 10 000 6 619 26 171 034 11 2 154 - 4 642 3 072 56 171 034 10 1 000 - 2 154 1 426 120 171 034 9 464 - 1 000 662 300 198 468 8 215 - 464 307 750 230 301 7 100 - 215 143 1 349 192 413 6 46 - 100 66 1 349 89 310 5 22 - 46 31 750 23 030 4 10 - 22 14 300 4 276 3 5 - 10 7 120 794 2 2 - 5 3 36 111 1 1 - 2 1 11 15
