[XMR] Monero Speculation

[mambamanagement]

Is aminorex dead?

is monero dead?

[frausoft]

Monero is a very strong coin, but the General situation of the market does not fully understand the potential of this project. We wait and hope for  the best.

is monero dead?

This year steadily with over 2% of Bitcoins number of transaction. Last year was under 2% and before mid 2016 was below 1%.    All that means that Monero is dying with a slower pace as Bitcoin. If any one of them is actually dying.

I think both coins are doing well. They are higher than last year.

So while our iCEBREAKER has been busy trolling the DASHtards, we've been floating in lifeboats in the Siberian sea.  You should come around more often..

Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know of FUD?  FUD is for the crypto winter, when the red candles fall a hundred feet deep.

FUD is for the Long Retracement, when the Moon hides for years and the little gains are born and live and die all in darkness.

That is the time for FUD, my little Lord.


Lower your time preferences -- tomorrow is only a day away! 

Besides, I need not clap and cheer for Moniro.  Its unique desirable qualities (fungible/decentralized/undervalued) speak for themselves.  Plus I rock a sweet custom XMR sig, even while I call fraud on the centralized and instamined Dash fraud.

If Fluffy & the Mownero Enterprise Alliance want help with anything interesting (Tari/MRL/Globee/Kovri/Sommelier Service), they know I'm ready, willing, and able.

if monero will be banned in all exchanges (because of regulation)
in that situation will monero die? or As long as it can be mined, stored it will not die?

Define "die".
I guess cryptocurrency die when it's development has stopped and there is noone using that currency. And I really doubt this could be the case in Monero, it will probably be used all the time. At least until it will hold n.1 (I think it does now) position among private cryptocurrencies. I think a cryptocurrency just needs one "exchange" where you can buy it for FIAT. This can also be a forum or any other type of communication channel where people who are interested in buying/selling crypto.
Similar website as LocalBitcoins - https://localmonero.co (just made for Monero, obviously).

I would say Bitcoin was dead before Hal Finney started using it. So when only Satoshi was all alone. As soon there are two people using a decentralized crypto currency it is alive.

Price wise any baning will just publicly expose Monero and price would and probably will increase.

and cannot occur: there are almost 200 different countries on planet earth

[tokeweed]

I'm pretty sure if one country or a number of counties ban Monero, then some other country will take advantage of it, make use of the tech, and gain an edge over the countries that banned it.  IMHO.

Interesting reddit discussion - If XMR was banned from all exchanges, could and would XMR still exist?

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Maybe it will disappear when you stop looking at it?

I'm as disappointed as all of you that Coinbase didn't have the bollocks to add Monero.

It does seem that we aren't getting the wind in our sails, things like Ledger integration (which would have brought a 2/3x in 2017) seemed to slowly crawl to release without the market giving a fuck.

Even with the bear taken into account, It's a hard time to hold Monero.

I think it's worth remembering now that Monero is a true decentralised, crypto-anarchist cryptocurrency.
I actually think it might be the only one left.

Even Bitcoin is treated more like a derivative instrument than an anarchocapitalist currency these days.

I guess what I'm trying to articulate is that we should be proud of what Monero has come to stand for, it's values and it's veracity as a real grassroots movement, with ideological goals and integrity.


Monero now is quite like Bitcoin in 2013, and I believe it's capable of the same price movements, based solely on the fundamental properties I describe above and it's viciously aggressive emission curve alone.


That said there is so much noise out there today that maybe Monero might struggle to be heard and reach the levels it should.
The more maligned Monero is by the powers that be (EU/US/CB/BigBiz) the more obvious it is that Monero is a pure cryptocurrency.

Sadly I'm not sure if I can recommend Monero as a good trade to friends anymore, but I sure as fuck am not fucking selling.
Worst case owning Monero becomes a badge of honour and a symbol of defiance in this disgustingly corrupt orwellian shithole we all live.

did monero https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero went down because of the zcash announcement
if so i think we will see correctional son

I'm pretty sure there are smart people out there who will build the tools to get around the problem.  I mean it's that kind of motivation that we have Bitcoin and other good crypto imo.
