[XMR] Monero Speculation

[mambamanagement]

I was definitely wrong! thought it was bullish sentiment. oh well. I hold

[KeyJockey]

Yeah, so much for the ATH talk... shoot.  Guess we'll have to wait for something 'big' like maybe coinbase announcement for that again?

I was hoping the 020's would hold longer, honestly, but here we're back in 18's today -- BUT -- let's remember guys, not that long ago we were stuck in that interminable damn $7 to $9-ish range. 

So really I tell myself anything over 015 for me is "comfortable", right?  LOL just got a little too used to 020's... patience and HODL! We'll get there

How come every time I buy XMR it falls lol.... fuck... it's a good coin and has potential, but never manage to catch it at the right time

Because Monero tends to drop.
Usually the rises are fast and take relatively short period and then the downslide will start and it usually takes months after months.

This is ridiculous, look at it in $ terms, it's hardly moved for days, it went from 22.40 one day ago to 21.80 now. It was at 13$ ten days ago. Talk about ungrateful and demanding...

The $ chart is much more reliable because BTC moves so much. The pattern for the last months has been (in $ terms) upwards movements and holding the level in between with small fluctuations around 1-2$. It was the same when it was going sideways and fluctuating between 10 and 13$.

How can you think of a bullish sentiment in a general market that is very over-heated... things have to drop/go sideways before we get at one-of-its-kind bubble with a retracement never seen. This drop is good... it keeps the market balance healthy.

[mambamanagement]

hey I'm not upset about a retractment, just am bullish knowing dash has a ~800M market cap

True true.

Monero really has this specific way of being down 9 out of 10 days but still manages to climb over time.
There is constant selling pressure.

Nothing like other coins. Probably drug dealers cashing out ...

If more people would hodl instead of constantly speculating on micro movements the price would be much higher but perhaps it's still worth it to them. All my friends lost in the long run though, I prefer hodling.

Speculation does affect all coins. It's give and take.

You should only put money you are willing to lose into crypto. Buy several different coins, such as BTC, ETH, and DASH.

[iCEBREAKER]

And many many people lost a fuckload of money because fluffy was telling everybody how bad dash is, right before it sprung x10. These people shorted dash because they beliefed fluffy, and lost all, these shorters are the ones which made the dash price rise exponential bigger than it would have been without the shorting. And they shorted because dash is so bad and its just a pump and dump scam coin and so on, at least everybody told them so - for them 20 dollar a dash was hardly overpriced, look where dash is now.

If you ask for who was scammed by dash, you won't find one (at least noone who was buying in the last 3 years), because price went from ath to ath, there could no one be scammed per definition, because noone could have lost with ath after ath. (for me a scam is if someone loses money! - ofc thats my definition, but its true!). On the other hand lots and lots of people lost money because they shorted dash after all that "its a total scam coin" definition from fluffy and his friends with all these cool videos...

This man speaks the truth. Just keep on listening to Fulffy and Icebreaker and Smooth and Generalthis and who else if you want to keep on losing money. Their track record so far certainly indicates that.

Oh sure, it's terrible how I told people to buy Monero for under 25 cents and then $1 while they had the chance.

We're crying in our Teslas....

Good God you are often tiresome.

Currently I have about 10 monero, I wouldn't fret with a lot of people who are pessimistic, because the coin will continue to benefit and market cap is already big and reached more than: $305 million.

Yes, too much pessimism is kinda bad for keeping the price up. We're already seeing lower lows, and people talking about how doomy everything is will only lead to a reversal.

Try to keep positive everyone!

Any sensible person with a modicum of organical thinking would have said the same thing. You think Dark Dash or whatever is fair value, clear to see and easy to project? Reaaaaaaaaaly? Who's fkn trolling?

BTC wasn't going to stay above 1100 for long, yesterday - so personally, the 018s were a peach of a buy.

As long as you balance enough BTC against the XMR in what you hold, you're covered either way and it's possible to swing trade some play money between both fairly safely and get an edge to accumulate a little more on each swing.  I know it's hard to have many of another coin, but it's wise to keep some old-fashioned BTC - just as a hedge

This seesaw has been pretty reliable these past few days, the inverse price undulation has been a relatively safe and easy play.  Yesterday to this morning was rather fun.

And don't give up on the XMR ATH just yet.  Last year's spring peak was in April after the regular February breakout.  If it follows past patterns (while of course this is not certain) it may yet spike up.  In any case we are already at USD ATH levels, so personally I have cashed out some crypto profits lately to treat myself.  

It's BTC that is the unstable variable if you watch the BTC / XMR pair - but the dollars are what you ultimately sell for, so you're right to keep an eye on that, too.

[mambamanagement]

this isn't exactly monero speculation, but I believe it all ties in. do any other American's  feel that the real estate market is in the midst of a bubble? opinions? (I could be wrong) I've been looking and there are either a lot of extraordinarily wealthy people or these prices are looney!!!
