[XMR] Monero Speculation

[obit33]

I'm on board with you guys. Every time I see flufflypony anywhere, it's quite discerning on the level of actual participation he portrays to the community. No matter where I go, I see, "why don't you work on the GUI", or, "we do this all unpaid and I'm not selling my small satchel of coin".

Small? The average joe is broke compared to these guys. You don't have to premine to buy half of your stash outwright when it's so new that someone selling their coins for .25 cents a piece thinks it's a rippin profit. Not only that, but being the first to actually mine when it hits shelves... The audacity.. It's a literal slap in the face.

Don't fret though, the millionaire will be back to plead his case. Probably tell us we should work on the GUI ourselves. I'm really losing hope in what I once believed in. It doesn't matter who can and can't use a CLI. The coin will never reach heights without a GUI. It's simple usability for any person wanting to get in but cant, because they aren't CLI friendly. Not everyone can compile from source, but everyone (figuratively speaking) can have a cash flow to spend on items.

I see that this programmer of the GUI is well-rounded in over a dozen languages, but can't seem to find out how to create a simple open source wallet. Maybe they talk him up more than he's worth, or maybe they're just sitting around having a good ole time.

Oh well. I'll still hold onto my small stash.

here you go: http://bfy.tw/7gse

first link, third wallet, easy...

best regards

it is an url shortener, is it safe ?

crap ok, you're right, not a smart move, but it was for the surprise, here you go:

Price of Monero after 1 month was $3. And when i mined with my CPU i mined like 1 Monero a week. So trust me noone got their coins for free.

Yes the one that bought Monero about a year ago made nice profit. I think cheapest was in beginning of 2015 since BTC was low so Monero was at $0.25 back then. Those that believed in Monero at those most darkest times profited. They sold their houses eat only bread and water since they send all their salaries they got from 3 jobs where they worked so hard to Poloniex to buy Monero.  But with soem bad luck all might be fro nothing.

Developers also wrote code in their spare time. So they could nto focus on their job 100% and never got any raise there to buy cheap Moneros in 2015 sadly.  We the rest was lucky enough to make this happen.

Lets not forget that there is a DEV fund and most pools contribute. BTW where is a link to the accounting of that fund?

Not quite accounting, but they do have milestones listed.

Odd, not all of them seem to have the same detailed format with milestones and payout listed under the bars.  https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progress/2400/open-source-amd-miner-by-wolf0

I am not really sure about this but at soem point i read or heard someone said that that found was untouched.

Price at 0.0175, rough estimates Polo

57K XMR/1050BTC to 0.019, 96KXMR/1600BTC to 0.016

100K XMR/1900BTC to 0.02, 140K XMR/2200 BTC to 0.015.


I don't see XMR staying below 0.02 for long as soon as some volume arrives.

"The common analogy is with the rolling of a small ball of snow down a snow-covered hillside. As it rolls the ball will pick up more snow, gaining more mass and surface area, and picking up even more snow and momentum as it rolls along."

I don't see any problems with XMR taking the same trip ETH did. Posting a prediction that in less than two months from today the market cap of Monero will be more than 1BN.

Some prefer to spell the word thus: "some".  This is a very vivid tale.  I somewhat resemble that remark.  Teacher gives you an "A" for bringing a tear to his eye.

You must be stupid not to have at least hundreds of thousands coins or more stored.

This would be a perfect use of the second-person plural, mostly unknown to the yankees, but beloved in some areas of the American Southeast:  "Y'all must be stupid not to have at least...."

Any deviations from the optimum can be corrected, by improving one's choices.

Thanks for pointing that out. The devs must be stupid not to have at least hundreds of thousands coins or more stored.

Most people sell after their investment or whatever is up several times what they bought for. There's a reason why people like Roger Ver became "famous" you know? Not many have the bravery to hold after a massive increase and generally speaking most of the time they'd be right not to.

"Smart" people like well known economists told everyone to sell Bitcoin after it were at a couple bucks, a hundred bucks, etc.. and with most other kind of investments they'd be right to advice selling after a massive increase.

I'm wondering if there is any proven correlation between order books / market depth and future price development?

It's like attending school and getting investing tips! No wonder I spend too much time here.

I simply cannot believe that super smart people like the Monero Devs did not take any chance of accumulating a good amount of coins themselves.
There is nothing wrong about that in my opinion.
They have/had the perfect circumstances to buy coins when they were cheap and also know the upside potential. (therefore not sellout everything)

If Monero continues to rise and one of the Devs missed out I'll gladly hook them up with some coins..

Depends how many in a specific market trade the books.

I think monero will never reach 162 again that was the bottom of some panic sells. I guess its a good point to get in again (in case someone sold).... 0,02+ soon

Seems likely that some Bitcoin core developers don't own that many Bitcoins either. I don't care if they do or don't.

One could argue that hoarding the coins yourself could have an negative impact on the development of the economy perhaps not even allowing it to grow. Sometimes less become more like with equity.

nevermind, its working now

[PlatoSWE]

hoarding or ''holders'' will create scarcity in the long run which in turn will drive up the price.

That's bullshit. The incentives should be aligned.

I know the Keynesians have tried to brainwash you but hoarding is never bad for the economy. That's a retarded notion.

It is not that simple and one dimensional in my opinion.
It depends if the merchants are holding Monero or using it as a mere token.
If they hold Monero (or pay to their suppliers in Monero), it might be good for Monero economy to let the coins circulate.

For instance, if you sell me something for 2 Moneros which cost you 1 Monero and you are not dumping your 2 Moneros, you were creating value to the marketcap of Monero [I have to buy 2 Moneros (instead of 1) from the markets to get the good I bought from you].

Not convinced that his is a return to the bullish uptrend


More like a bull trap before continuing downwards

Yup...


0.0168 right now though... can we reach 0.018 today? If we can I'm out, I'm more convinced of a BTC spike during the next month over a XMR spike so I don't feel safe holding XMR. Could probably buy back a lot more if I sit on BTC

Lets go morning bump! It's possible that BURST profits are finding its way to a good XMR entry point (~0.016). Dream marketplace following the other DNMs to accept XMR is also great news.. but nothing that should re-ignite a pump. Great news nonetheless, and for the record I get my coke and ecstasy from Dream so it's nice to have an option to pay with XMR now

Got out at 0.01860 and got back in at 0.01705 with more XMR.


I keep making the best calls ITT while everyone else is like.... "hurr durr hodl for 2 yrs and you'll be rich!" .... "monero is gunna replace bitcoin, derp!" 


I can't wait for the Monero ETF... I'm sure regulators will love how XMR is completely hidden and the currency of choice for DNMs. I mean it only took so long to get them on board with an open public ledger and convince them that btc isn't just internet drug money.



Although my sentiment is changing, I'm surprised at how well XMR is holding up above 0.016.... consolidation? Right now I don't know if it's gonna break up or down. Probably down because all the moon kids are convinced we are going up no matter what (usually when people get rekt). But I think it's worth being in at the risk of a short term dip. At the very least XMR has more utility over LTC and should eventually have a higher market cap.

[bitbitero]

I do believe that monero is going to be the next bitcoin.

It's a risky game you are playing. Your calls are gambling, nothing else. I think many with the same mindset were locked out for good after selling at 008 thinking that this was for sure the top and they would rebuy lower.

I hope the same happens to you, cuz I don't like your condescending tone towards investors/holders, you need to accept that not everyone is a trader.
And nobody gives a fuck about the success of your trades, so take your boasting somewhere else.

When Monero reaches the parity with bitcoin and goes beyond, please do not come here to post bearish posts.
