Yeah that ETH correlation is annoying, but it is nicely asymmetric, you must admit. Now compare it to BTCUSD and USDJPY, to get a better picture.
EDIT:
The correlation of first differences is easy to see. The trend factors require a little more staring. Note that as ETH was pumping, XMR rose, but not as rapidly. Note that as ETH is dumping, XMR trend is roughly flat. I think we can thank ETH for stimulating a spec/hedge movement from pure BTC portfolios to mixed Crypto portfolios, and that a significant (relative to the XMR market cap) fraction of ETH gains booked as BTC have been flowing into XMR.
The comparison to BTCUSD is intended to suggest that, if you look, you might find, for example, that the ETH peaks occurred during BTCUSD dips. This suggests hedging BTC positions by adding ETH, when BTC shows weakness.
If so, then a fraction of that flow going directly from BTC into XMR seems inevitable.
All the evidence seems to support my snap analysis of a few days back.
I suggest looking at USDJPY because it seems very possible that global risk appetite may correlate with the first difference chain as well. Those amounts are in the trillions, and even a fraction of a basis point of those flows going into BTC, ETH, XMR, whatever, will have outsized impact.

Nothing wrong with being wrong that changing your mind can't fix  . Welcome to the future of scarcity. |

Guys I finally downloaded the blockchain, and I have opened the simple wallet now!
But when I try to search for my Address on a Monero Blockexplorer I can't find it yet.
So Is it safe to send the Monero to my Wallet already?

Monero addresses are not visible in the blockchain because every output is sent to a one time address (output public key). http://moneroblocks.info/tx/f8d8dafdeccea86c7168bb74160e1117646b67f0ecc4f73b9e80f12b7028acd1So Is it safe to send the Monero to my Wallet already?
It's as safe as your backups and security practices. PS: You do not need to sync the daemon in order to create a new address with simplewallet. |

The joy of true anonymity  If I give you my address you won't find it either Yes you can send to your wallet. If you are unsure or cautious you can send a small amount first. The transaction will show on the block explorer but neither the address nor the correct amount will be seen. You will see the correct amount in your wallet. |

If any alt reaches about 10-20% of Bitcoin's marketcap, Bitcoin is doomed in such a great probability that I'll sell mine (in favor of the alt).
All-in ETH? I don't think it counts as an alt. Alt meaning alternative cryptocurrency: It's not a cryptocurrency. I like the idea of ETH being the oil to Bitcoin's gold. Dumbest thing I've heard. |

Are most holders here under the belief that monero will reward them more than holding bitcoin?
I can only answer for my self and I believe yes Monero is safer than Bitcoin for the long haul. |

There is a healthly mix of traders and hodlers here. I trade with most my XMR (~75%) but have a stash for hodl as well. |

I can only answer for my self and I believe yes Monero is safer than Bitcoin for the long haul. Scenario - 10 years from now, 2026. You - holding bitcoin, me - holding monero. Future Company X deems that the bitcoin you just bought 10 years ago (right now, 2016) has a bad trail ... perhaps because the coins were obtained before monitoring services were established in the bitcoin ecosystem, so therefore your bitcoin is not as valuable as someones bitcoin mined in 2021 because it doesn't have a verified / acceptable provenance. Meanwhile my monero have no trail, so they cannot be deemed more or less worthy than someone elses monero. Privacy is a side effect of fungibility. The "privacy features" of monero are a red herring. Its real property is fungibility. edited for many miswords. |

Nope, that's why I hold way more XBT than XMR. It is the only altcoin I hold and I don't see any value whatsoever in any of the others. |

In other news, palladium is way cheap under 500 USD.
That was so true, and quite timely. Expect XPDXAU to outperform while gold is retracing. But I can no longer recommend holding XPD outright long over the near- to medium-terms. I am short *everything* except XMR and BTC right now. Short gold, short brazil, short spus, short oil. It's working pretty well, and if the win is quite large, I think I may finally make that big celebratory market-buy which I never got around to before. YOLO, and all that. I find rates too unpredictable right now to play in that sandbox, but the HYG/SPX spread compression trade is attractive. |

Edit to add: 2 years from now, who has a fatter wallet, 100 bitcoins or 10,000 monero?
The monero. I would bet 5:1 odds on that, if I were into chasing 20% gains, which I am not. In fact I hold XMR:BTC at a USD mark-to-market ratio of 12:1 at present. I consider BTC a poor hedge, but it is nice to have liquidity, and XMR just isn't cutting it on the liquidity side at this small market cap. (Fine for buying coffee or weed or therapy or lunch in brussels, maybe some slovenian artworks, but not good for buying a hacienda in Chile, or even for shuffling between crypto-exchanges, since many don't list it yet -- but more are coming, and some major fiat/crypto exchange will surely take it up soon, maybe kraken, maybe bitfinex, maybe btc-e.) |

Are there any xmr poker sites? No. The btc only poker sites are small. Some fiat sites now have btc deposits and withdrawals as an option. Poker unlike other games needs a large pool of players for a site to be successful. |
