[XMR] Monero Speculation

[N-rG]

I dont know...the market is actually not so hard to rumble. Maybe i think to easy, but thats what i thought:

After the FUD Campaign it is somehow given by nature that the coin cannot get under more pressure having in mind that panic sells were happening for 3 weeks.

Moreover the coin was before the announcement of Alphabay at something 0.005 (can we agree?)

For sure 0.005 would never happen again. So the worse point could be at 0.0085.

Take: y = mx+t
The negative slope was already decreasing at ~104, faster and faster. For me the final bottom was next to  --> BUY.

Actually the FUD campaign made things a lot more easy here  

Whats your oppinion about that @BitcoinNewsMagazine?

Here is a very interesting article by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on "How Big Pharma's Shadow Regulation Censors the Internet" https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/how-big-pharmas-shadow-regulation-censors-internet The article does not mention Monero at all but it does identify the role of shadow regulation in censoring payment processors. In this case to deny medicines at an affordable price to people in need for the furtherance of corporate greed and the "protection of intellectual property". When dealing with pharmaceuticals this can in many cases be a matter of life and death.

A fungible, private and anonymous, crypto currency that is not constrained by artificial limits on the number transactions per second, can actually save people's lives.

Getting rich quick is always risky.

When XMR was $0.50 no one knew it would get so far. You would still have to risk a few thousand dollars to ride the rally to $10/XMR and become rich

Yes this is why i hesitated to buy, now the price is 4x but we also know that xmr is getting accepted and not any other anonymous currency(actually i was not that into xmr) but now i have to risk maybe 10000$ to be able to get rich. Still not sure if i will spend 7000$ buying even more xmr, especially not if the price continue up(less xmr for my money).

trust me ,its still VERY cheap at current prices .......
ive been early on most of the good trains starting with btc and XMR is not the usual P+D garbage
get it or regret it as they say .....when it hits  0.02 you will be too late because it will reach a new ATH

At the payment processor level, yes they would not be able to censor monero payments.

But there still exists the issue of censoring actual domain names and confiscation at the border when importing these prescription drugs.

Thanks for the article, I had not known of such ridiculous laws. But i'm not surprised either.

Apparently confiscation is not the major issue, payments and domains/hosting/blocking of sites are:

In practice however, discretionary guidelines developed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and enforced by the CBP allow American consumers to import a 90-day supply of some prescription medications for personal use, including by bringing them across border checkpoints in personal luggage, or by mailing them from overseas.

I am wary as a double bottom might just happen. Then again it might not but the daily volume on the sell off on Oct 4 was not that high. Some bad news could cause another sell off. Looking at the daily chart impresses as a coin that has not found a bottom yet so I am in no rush to reload.

I wonder what needs to happen that Poloniex change their withdrawal fee to be less then 20 times expensive as withdrawing BTC.

I guess the "major issue" must be defined by each individual as the quote you posted claims that some prescription medications are allowed to be imported in 90-day supply amounts.

Not sure how much is "some".

Trade wars between countries has begun and will likely accelerate over the coming years. Such a barrier at the border/customs will likely only get worse as world trade unravels due to global recession.

As a newbie in crypto trading I am too scared to hold very volatile altcoins overnight. I made 2 buy and sell today with Monero. Was thinking of setting some stop/limit but I may just end up losing it so i'll better return tomorrow.

One has not to do with the other... problem with Polo is that they have many dust outputs from the people that mine directly to exchange... so the average tx is bigger and more costly... but guess they may lower it in the near future

Dont use stop-limits or sell when the price is falling, in most cases the fall is only temporarry. Just buy below 0.012 and sell above 0.02, it's that simple.

XMR requires a lot of patience, so for trying to profit, you probably want to follow this advice here ^^^^ .

My buddy just came back from Columbia and brought 3 months meds back. It cost him dollars for what cost him hundreds here.

I hear stories like this all the time, but really, how does one get drugs across borders / customs without hassles?

Edit - Me being in the USA, maybe it's a dumb question right hahaha.

I believe you are allowed to bring in a 3 months supply for yourself in the US.

The issue here is not the law or government regulation but rather the monopolistic actions of multinational corporations. The importation may be perfectly legal and above board; however a multinational pharmaceutical company can still prevent it by partnering with another multinational payments company or companies. This will work if the partners have a monopoly or are very close to a monopoly in payments. The weak point here is payments because of the high degree of corporate concentration. There no where near the same degree of corporate concentration in domain name registration than there is in payments. For example one can easily move a domain from GoDaddy to EasyDNS or Gandi; but try to avoid say Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and one or two major banks acting in concert. The latter is how Wikileaks was blockaded and nearly bankrupted.

We must keep that are dealing with perfectly legal activities here; but that would not prevent a group of monopolistic multinational corporations from mounting a payments blockade even though such a blockade would be illegal in many jurisdictions. Hence the term shadow regulation. Breaking such an illegal payments blockade is something which Monero could very easily excel at.

Yeah, its cheaper for him to go once every 3 months to get his meds than buy them here, Imagine that bullshit! Some expensive diabetes shit hes got.
