^ 12 million USD

Hey, the BTC he got from that is worth 600K.  600 is more than 12.  WIN!

Never did the math, That just makes it that much Sweeter!

With Monero the problem is again privacy, right now it offers reasonable privacy, but once the RingCT gets cracked the problem is that every single transaction will be traceable, the entire blockchain will be exposed.
This is not the case with other privacy coins like PIVX and DASH, they are much more secure in that sense.

But as long as RingCT stays strong Monero is a decent option technically.

Another issue with Monero is the likelihood of big whales, that would be much bigger still than any Bitcoin whales, i don't think people hodling 500k XMR are rare in this community. You can bet your ass they will dump soon, people just want Dollars, not crypto, as sad as it is, it's still the truth of this world.

What kind of shit are you smoking? Oh wait your a shill, you must be as no-one is that moronic.

Go shill your shitcoins somewhere else.

All the Big whales are in your shitcoins anyone with a stack of Monero's paid for it.

It's so funny to see people spreading bad news....misleading information.....

and for what reason? to make you sell one thing i learned over the last 4 years about, when you read bad news then HODL!
when you read good news then HODL! and when you can't HODL anymore then buy more
XMR is under real value and soon we will have a good price, we not there yet...

EDIT: when mtgox stolen from me about 99% of my BTC with what i had and with new fiat i bought more ASICs and some more XMR and HODL.
In my opinion the BEST crypto is BTC and XMR and nothing else. before you start write i am wrong or right i repeat, in my opinion.

Amazing how many on the interwebs have no clue what a qualifier is and you have to point it out to not get dogpiled. Glad to hear you made a smart move after getting Goxed.

Guys, yes yes this is all excellent and "about time" and we've been waiting for this at least a year or two already...

Okay okay high-five and all, "this is gentlemen" and MOON and etc etc etc, yes yes...

But.  But but but... BUT is it still WRONG of me to want us to STILL beat god damn DASH, finally?

We're massively UP, yes, and still going strong "the night is young" yet but we're still "only" pushing a buck-fitty here, and stupid god damn Dash(LOL) is ALSO goddamn going way UP today too?? It's also already 20%+...??

FFFFFFFFFF! What are ppl thinking buying DASH(LOL) now, while it's MONERO'S moment in the sun???  What are you people doing?

WHAT is it gonna TAKE to finally put that premined shitcoin scam in the ground??  Aaaaaahhh!

Dash is $380??  C'mon HoneyPony!  Let's See $390 at least!!!

LOL    

The Volume is with us. And it will stay

I'm not so worried at this time about the price per coin as much as the marketcap. So, I expect in the next several days to a week will surpass them in marketcap, possibly even reaching the $3 to $3.5B mark.

WOUah !! What a ride !
My portfolios reach new ATH thanks to monero ! And the better is yet to come, monero isn't officilay listed in bithumb yet !

[aminorex]

I expect 0275-0293 to be support levels, and will buy in that range to recover xmr lost via offers above 0320, but I see no reason this bump doesn't take us to 0600 territory after a little consolidating breather.  Supply is just too tight at these levels, using the short-term thumb rule again.

Abstract: Monero is a cryptocurrency that has rapidly gained popularity since its launch in April 2014. The source of its growth can be mainly attributed to its unique privacy properties that go well beyond the pseudonymity property of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. In this work, we conduct a forensic analysis of the Monero blockchain. Our main goal is to investigate Monero’s untraceability guarantee, which essentially means that given a transaction input, the real output being redeemed in it should be anonymous among a set of other outputs. To this end, we develop three heuristics that lead to simple-to-implement attack routines.

We evaluate our attacks on the Monero blockchain and show that in 87% of cases, the real output being redeemed can be easily identified with certainty. Moreover, we have compelling evidence that two of our attacks also extend to Monero RingCTs — the second generation Monero that even hides the transaction value. Furthermore, we observe that for over 98% of the inputs that we have been able to trace, the real output being redeemed in it is the one that has been on the blockchain for the shortest period of time. This result shows that the mitigation measures currently employed in Monero fall short of preventing temporal analysis.

Motivated by our findings, we also propose a new mitigation strategy against temporal analysis. Our mitigation strategy leverages the real spending habit of Monero users.

over the last few hours Polo XMR-BTC market became the largest, beating out the BTC-USD at Bitfinex.  Also, another node ATH @ 2048.   

Wait till it opens on Bithumb tonight - the Koreans like to gamble with newly listed coins!  According to the following article, Bithumb is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, so plenty of whales live on there:

Newsbtc is one of greatest shit blogs in crypto space....

Although i too think that bithumb has some really big pockets playing there.
Tbh. 150-200 next week seems possible for sure.

Glad to see the success of Monero. I've been following Monero for quite a while now. I called it quite a while ago that Monero would be $100+. With such great development, community and recognition, it is only upwards from here. Monero is worth $1000+, get your whole 1 XMR quickly.  

[cryptimus prime]

Everyone reading this should own at least 1 XMR, even if you don't believe in the coin. It will surpass Bitcoin in use-cases even when not surpassing Bitcoin in marketcap for a long time.

"Long time" is relative in cryptoland.

Is it just me? I get the feeling that most bitcoiners are pro monero in private, but shy away from public endorsement. Why is this? Is monero tainted in any way?

Endorsement of any coin is considered shilling.  You immediately get a target painted on your head.  It's not worth it.

And I get the same impression(btc'ers pro monero).

lol... i'm btcoiner as well as monero guy and some others.
it's just foolish to have portfolio based only on BTC. Whomever is target paiting my head because of that is just big dumbass which I don't care about

BTC created bases, it's still no.1 but it does not mean there cannot be another players, they are and they are good.

(btw I do not like really how stupidly is BTC led right now... but it's maybe only me )

[jmigdlc99]

Im an altcoin miner and i noticed a lot of people have now switched to mining monero (probably because of ETH difficulty bombs). But anyway, does this signal an increase in monero value as well?

Anyone with enough intelligence to do their own due diligence by reading the whitepaper, spending time in irc and reddit and monitoring github will be pro monero. Anyone with other agendas, i.e short term coin flipping, pumping groups, short term wealth creation will troll it as much as they can for their own gains. But fluffybadger does not care either way, its all water of a ducks back...quack quack

[toty888]

Will it raise to $200? What you guys think?

[owlcatz]

Will it raise to $200? What you guys think?

It's only 4:30AM in Korea right now... Ask again after trading on bitthumb opens at midnight KST.

[krankNL]

I don't know but the momentum is now in the favour of monero on the crypto markets. Crowds are buying it like nonstop. I'm very sad for not buying monero when it was $30 a couple of months ago. I was aware of the potential but didn't buy. It will be groundbreaking one for anonymus coin sector against zcash.
