[XMR] Monero Speculation

[sech1]

Does anyone think XMR will decouple from Bitcoin, to an extent. Or is it still strongly dependent on BTC?

Some people say that it will be another year before we reach the previous BTC ATH and another year or more until the new ATH.

Any chance that XMR will reach a new ATH in terms of BTC and USD before then?

Can it get back in to the top 10? Top 5?

XMR needs to be $267 or more to enter top 5 as of now. Is $267 an impossible price? We'll probably see it before the end of the year.

Hashrate skyrocketing. Either more investors are targetting their power there, or some widespread botnet. Arguably, both are further signs of strength, tough...

Supposedly, it is an entity abusing Azure, see:

There are rumors going around that lots of people have 'lost their private keys in a boating accident.'.    All you need to do is check XMR's price to know if those rumors are true.

I wonder when everyone else will join this guy from 2 days ago that fat finger bought 35k XMR up to $147 on Binance. I am bored of this $12x&$13x prices. Time to move on.

I always wonder about those.  Like you say was it a slip?  Or a drunken "eff it?". Or does the guy know/think something?

Seems much more than trival to throw 2.5-3 million bucks at something on a whim... but I suppose some can.

But my oijia board lines and graphs... we have a lot of room to strech out over the next hump.  I think i saw it as 145?  But 137 might be the top of it?  I still think 145 will offer resistence... in someones our friend on Binance fulfilled my prophesy.

Now that i checked with 1 minute bars i see was only 15k XMR. What is still alot. Beside this highest price was close to $136. It definitely had to be a mistake.Or he hoped to maniplate market and force a bull run.

This is a veritable shit-ton of hash power coming on.

Is there a chance?   That this hashrate is related to the Chainalysis contract to break Monero?  Serious question... I cannot see how that would be.

Much more likely someone discovered an exploitable hole in some cloud services server farm?  Azure? AWS etc?

Small chance this is new Asics coming on.  Unlikely.

Time will answer the last one, I suppose.

Hit over 1300 1400 1500 1600 1700 tph today.  I haven't tracked stats for quite some time, but this seems eye popping to me.

Later:

TxPool over 300  400  500.  Seems like a lot with ~1200 last hour.


well that explains it.

Gone a couple of years ago, but I think he made a reasonable prediction:

No XMR transactions reported yesterday on alphabay.

I guess darknet traders just don't care. Junkies are not really the brightest crowd.

I expect to see XMR back at a reasonable price within the next week or two, 0.05 - 0.07 is reasonable taking the current ATH network difficulty into account, everything
above is just speculation.

I forgot about him, I'm pretty sure he was a botnet operator.

I can confirm it's cloud mining with XMRig. Who's doing it - no idea.

I sold my XMR for 0xMR.

Why would you announce to the world on an open forum that you are a Moron?

[elrippos friend]

I think we are in the same phase as in February/March 2016 so you should consider selling some of your stock (10-50%) and wait two months, then you should by back at 30-50% plus
When you have done that, fasten your seat belts, then the ride will be quick and dirty

Trump does this and is pretty successfully

This trend line on the 4H still looks pretty good...

Damn it I need glasses for the fine print!  I sold everything, and now there was just a 6000 xmr buy up to 0.018 on Binance  

Just kidding.  I never sell.
