[XMR] Monero Speculation

[Febo]

$55

I wish.
My little Monero mining operation would finally pay for itself!

I definitely think $12-15 is possible in the next few months if we get some official GUI wallets and convince some more sites/ vendors to take XMR in addition to Bitcoin.

If btc goes 1000 % up next year from here, Monero can even drop against btc in order to achieve 55 usd.

I change my mind it will be $80.09

nevar forget

Apparently you are being prophetic here.

and Shiroslullaby, I think $15 is quite pessimistic for an ATH of 2017. You need to understand that average price is usually at least half of ATH.  I would give more chances that $15 is bottom of second half of 2017 then an ATH of 2017.

Any updates to the protocol scheduled for the next hard fork ?  RingCT ?

RingCT is already in the code and active on the public testnet. It is scheduled to go live on the main net with the next hard fork.

did you know that 38% of americans could not point to england on a global map?

LOL bruv, I'll whup yer arse in a geography (or Doctor Who) pub quiz, anytime, any place, and in any state of inebriation.

Did you know the population of the US is measured in the 100s of millions?

Did you know that "more is different?"

Did you know we Yanks (respecting our English heritage) politely refer to that low-information 38% as the "legacy of slavery?"

Would you believe I can do a passable Northern (Manchester/Scottish) brogue, Celtic (Welsh/Irish) lilt, and London Cockney?

And I've never spend more than a few hours mucking about Old Blighty, while on layover at Heathrow.  

Could you match my range of American accents, which ranges from Deep Southern to (all regions of) Texan, to Californian TV English?

Naw princess, you could never.  So rest assured our top 62% is >> than your 100%.  

Great trolling though.  Keep up the good work, especially on the Dash thread!  

Man, your arrogance is a perfect example of the stereotype many foreigners stereotype about us Americans.  Nice job, pal.  And you know what?  American's in general actually don't know jack about what's happening in the world, or even in the States.  Don't worry, we know YOU know everything...so I hope you don't take offense personally.

Funny how an offhand remark can lead to such. You americans are so prissy and defensive nowadays! Don't worry though, you can watch Game Of Thrones while your government tears up the constitution. On a related note, do you all think it is a good, or bad thing that a businessman has been able to buy the presidency of your country? Trump winning(!)has made your country a joke in the eyes of the rest of the world. My american friends, you with a brain, you must revolt. What else?

EDIT: being a multi-talent, my portfolio of passable american accents includes (but isn't limited to), noo yawk, deep south, valley girl (I like doing that one) and minnesotan. BTW there's no such thing as a manchester/scottish brogue. Completely different parts of the UK. Just so you know.

Funny how my response to an off-hand remark proving the ignorance of your comment and having you respond with "you're moot" instead of an intelligent response ....

Looks like primer bought back in.

Looks like January 2017 is pretty critical in Monerosphere.
Is this getting ready for starting marketing to the mainstream audience (in spring semester of 2017) or some other things still need to be fixed for that?

I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.

BTW Manchester and Scotland are both in the North

Try telling that to either a Mancunian or a Scot. That would be fun to watch.

Lol!! Yeh, I'd like to see that too. Make it a Glaswegian for good measure ... Scottish Kiss anyone ?

I am Scottish.  Clan MacGregor ("Royal is my race").  So I can hold my own, am quick to anger, and say whatever the hell I want to.   

That's right, selectively edit my post and back the fuck off from disputing the entirely accurate claim both Scot¹ and Mancunian² accents are both characterized as brogues.

Throw in an implied threat of violence just to be sure I'm warned against stating a simple fact of geography in public.

Send me a ticket to the UK and I'll tell as many people as you like Manchester and Scotland are both in Deh Norf (albeit on opposite sides of the wall).  British Airways, KLM, SAS, or Korean Air only please.

David Tennant, a previous regeneration of Doctor Who, stepped up, and his recitation of some choice 140-character invectives was like the Jimmy Kimmel "mean tweets" bits, but with a Scottish brogue, without the sad music, and much more NSFW.

Feet up on his office desk, top shirt button undone and tie at half-mast, Monks, 57, acknowledged last week, in his melancholic Manchester brogue, that 'unions are back on the agenda'.

Could you go on in PM pls... your very off-topic back and forth is tiring anyone else

You could have PM'd that request... instead of moaning about it in public (and presuming to speak for anyone else).

If you're tired... try taking a nap.

Okay, okay.  I'll delete my share of the shitposts resulting from volyova's "38% of Americans can't find England" trolling so smooth doesn't have to.

What's that?  You never complained about volyova going off-topic when he was bashing Americans?

Hmm, try the Ignore button if you find my pushing back against thinly disguised Trumpreich butthurt so wearisome.  Or go back to your Cloakcoin thread.  

When you stray away from financial speculation and analysis you're like Trump's younger brother, only more boastful and brattish.

Buying monero in december is a suicide. It just protracts the GUI mess to perpetuity which is a sign that a dumping whale waits for BTC to chill out.

Once bitcoin is curbed everythings back on track. Whale tells devs to hurry up their asses and pumps the hell outta it on the agreed bumping time. U better wait.

Buy Now - Sell with the whale (GUI release) - and buy cheeper later...

Exactly.
If getting listed on Bittrex is worth a 10% raise in price,
a fully functioning GUI wallet has to be worth at least that, and maybe even more.
Pick up some coins and dump them at a good price, and you can probably make 10-20% off your investment easily.

So, after Forest Trolls, Mountain Trolls, Cave Trolls etc ... - now we have Gooey Trolls - every time when Gooey trolls dump, this thread gets yucky

I've wondered if it would not be a lot more than a 10-20% raise. As seen previously, just the DNM announcement has made XMR rocket immensely to an ATH.

I am thinking that the release of the GUI + RingCT might have a bigger impact as the average user will be able to use their XMR a lot more easily and more anonymously.

Can't wait to see how the release will unfold...
