[XMR] Monero Speculation

[r0ach]

I talked to Steve @ Srsrocco about the likely Monero upswing coming and Clif High, so you might see more bigger players in the Monero pump game this session as that information circulates through their circles.

It feels like its about time for XMR to have a surge - I've added a bit more liquidity into the exchanges just in case =)

The last time:

If anyone doesn't believe me, the last time I said something about monero (look at the date):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1520564.0

Then someone attempted to create a counter-Monero thread with accusations of me being bribed by Smooth (lol?) and of course Anonymint outrage:

Monero is getting momentum...

Putting it all in ETH doesn't make sense and holding a ton of BTC on August 1 could potentially be a bad idea (depending on who you ask).

Unfortunately I feel like a drop in Bitcoin's price would hurt all cryptocurrencies, so I'm just HODLing my BTC and hoping it skyrockets instead of dropping...

My guess is that BTC will drop (perhaps a lot) while all the forkings play out, at first.  All the confusion means "uncertainty" and markets HATE uncertainty.

Then once whatever "clear winner" emerges (may take a while) we will see a huge spike UP, perhaps even one of those long-overdue 10X runs that HoneyBadger's been famous for in the past (a penny to a dime, dime to a dollar, dollar to $10, $10 to $100...)

We've just barely left that long-time, extended "$100 to $1000" era here now at "only" $2500 which is "only" approximately a measly doubling... once the long-overdue "Scaling Debate" ANSWER is *finally* decided, one way or the other, SegWit or LargeBlocks or what-the-fuck-EVER... maybe THEN we can *finally* see the next era of $1000 to $10,000 *finally* kick in!!!

Or maybe the forkings will just destroy bitcoin entirely.

So $10,000+ MOON or $0 FAIL binary outcome?  Same as it ever was...

Polo has a sizable sell wall at that amount. I noticed it around six weeks ago...anyone know how long it's been there?

It has been there since #fluffygate.

As strange as it sounds, this wall I believe is part of a larger conspiracy, for the exact same walls have been placed in litecoin just sitting there for weeks/months.  I believe the purpose of them is to try and trick people into believing coins such as LTC + Monero can't rise and to try and force speculators into the Eth market to buy horrificaly overpriced Ethereum from the R3 banking consortium/Digital Currency group/other large fucktard organizations.

Interesting thought, my tinfiol hat is always tingling.

To those who have been accumulating XMR, cant go wrong as i see it as the anoynmous transaction coin with most upside

The best shady market is a government.  

If you're in Russia or Ukraine or other former USSSR clones I full agree...oh yeah and 99% of the middle east and Asia

You forgot Eastern Europe, the Balkans (not necessary USSR clones) and Africa.
Poor countries are usually this poor because of the shady governments.

Shit yes...I also forgot about australia the UK and the US

 UK is not so bad , really

But you would not dare to defend Trump's own country in our modern times, I recognized.
Speaking of shady and Russia, anybody got info about AlphaBay's recovery progress (if any) ?

What is your prediction. When Monero will be 100$, 150$, 200$ and 250$?

If btc keeps wandering between 2500 and 2600 until 1 August, I expect market making ROI to go up ... a lot.

What are your thoughts on what will happen post August 1st, Aminorex?

Pre Aug 1 I'd grab some LTC so on the off chance of a large uptick. If we have forks will they be worth more combined like ETH/ETC is the question or will the price tank? I doubt all the forks if they happen will tank so I think I'm going to gamble and hold some BTC grab some LTC and of course hold XMR.

I need someone to ELI5 Aminorex's post lately.

I guess in 2017, target of Monero will be reach to $100 if the market can recovery after Bitcoin Segwit success and stable in a month

Probably a bad ground.

July 1, alphabay starts zcash.  July 5, dnm raids in Quebec, alphabay goes offline.

Hmmm.

I cannot understand why, given Monero's privacy, AB (I've never visited) continued to take BTC and even added ETH. That just doesn't make sense unless the site owners are hooked on the outdated (false) belief that Monero is difficult to use. I think they're smarter than that. And saying "it's hard on people to convert BTC to XMR" no longer holds water given that they accept ETH (and users more than likely converted BTC to get their ETH), and BTC->ETH and BTC->XMR can be done with the same ease.

Anyhow, reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6lu7bz/alphabay_taken_offline_fears_of_exit_scam/) seems to think AB is just down for maintenance (includes the possibility of a security cleanup to deal with the event aminorex mentioned) and will be back up in a few days. My guess is they'll be back up since they most likely have resources to handle this situation, they won't want to give up their cash cow, and Russian authorities likely won't go after them.

Well, sorry about that guys.  I said this market was going up...and we did bring it up....then someone decided to dump every alt in existence -10-20% all at the same time...kind of an act of god there...

these markets are just not to be traded

[ravinol]

would you buy some xmr right now?
