[XMR] Monero Speculation

[Kelvinid]

This dump is great. I think it's done by someone who wanted to jump in on the rising Bitcoin price.
Took the opportunity to place a decent buy order. I moved the price up one euro. Sorry for the others who were hoping for cheap monero but it's still cheap compared to the 29 euros of yesterday!

The price is still 31 dollar. I think there is no dump.

There was a dump on Polo, from 0.021 BTC to 0.014, it all happened quite fast, a matter a of minutes I guess. I had a few buy orders set up but definitely not that low. Some people are very happy right now.

I am sure you answered on this question who dumped already yesterday.

I know it is. But the pump happened in 10 minutes. Occam's razor is telling me this is just a pump unless it was someone with REALLY big pockets that got suddenly genuinely interested in Monero.

The guy who bought few hours before with hope for sheeps to follow him dumped when was not much result, since Monero is not just an altcoin that grows extremely without any reason.

Well there was someone with $2.5mm usd worth of monero selling at once.  Interesting to say the least.

Wow, that’s a lot coins; no wonder we hit a bump in the road. I’m guess that would have been a whale (or some whales). Who else would have 2$+ million XMR to manipulate the market with?

Regardless, the pump has picked back up and were still rising

Well.. I say 2.5mm which may have been true at market price, but the slippage probably cost him/her deep six figures.

Failed another flip. Sat watching 22 last night   

While Poloniex seemed to be melting down btw


bum

Glad to see a sell order like this does not cause a huge panic within Monero holders.

Crap. I missed another dip.

As for panic, XMR is coin I'm least worried about. It actually does something well (fungibility/privacy), has real-world use, and is being used. It's still undervalued. Bagholders of other alts are going to need a lot of antacids when BTC settles down.

The only caveat to this IMHO is when the ALT bubble bursts that is naturally going to drag XMR with it.  We can only hope that the muted participation in the bubble is matched by the participation in the carnage.

Polo down?  


e: holy shit that sell.. would've happily bought some of that.

I think nobody got any of that unless they already had the net out to catch it when it fell.  I tried, but polo just locked up on me.
It's weird how I often seem to watch these things unfold.  I don't spend that much time watching charts.  (Do I?  )

Yes funny business seems to happen repeatly when exchanges have "issues".  Kraken had problems at the same time as Polo and on polo many coins had selloffs at the same time as Monero. 

It also seems that after alts rise there is a selloff and then bct rises.  It happened this time.

One coin that seems to be done is PIVX. If they got into it for privacy, then their best bet would be to move into XMR. As for a bubble, I think Monero is minimally affected by it...I mean, Monero actually does something and does it better than any other coin. So many of those other coins don't have any real-world use and are pumping...makes no sense. And Ripple? I know banks showed interest and that's the reason for its pump...but banks?

For Monero, I think this was the market playing catchup and it's not caught up yet. I prefer slow and steady growth, and I think we'll see jumps when features like multisig and Kovri come out. That being said, I'm in Monero for the fungibility/privacy, and the price is icing on the cake.

$100+ for Monero, I lost $20,000+ (U.S.D) in a week because I was uninformed and I didn't really understand what Monero was. I didn't think it would come back even stronger. It has been like 6-7 months but I have been proven wrong. I thought the pump and dump last year was over for Monero but never mind, I was foolish. HODL.

P.s HODL! (Hold-On-to-Dear-Life), Whatever, it was only $20,000+, at least wasn't $2,000,000+

Oh yeah Monero at 100 by the end of the month. Mark my words! I bought in after the initial pump and have already made decent gains but I think we will see a $100.00 Monero. HODLING!

Polo down again..

Fingers crossed for my absurdly low buy orders

On Kraken yesterday, the price was above 30 euros briefjly and then settled again at 29 euros. When I got up in the morning it was 25 euros. Instabuy for me because I got a few new Bitcoins out of Ripples pump.

The altcoin bubble will burst for sure. I don't know when it's going to be, looks to me it can all still pump this week. However, I do think that once the altcoin bubble bursts, there is going to be a lot of altcoins who go to the graveyard. I'm pretty sure Monero is going to be one of the altcoins that rises again. (Just like BTC always recovered from its bubbles in 2013 and this year)

You could be right. But usually when BTC makes a move up, there is a selloff of altcoins. A little dip which gets bought back in a matter of time. Or it's a combination of both.

It's a bad news in a thread when people start talking about their fantasy dream prices in the future and not what the present reality is.  It reeks of desperation and that is not encouraging.

XMR underperformed in the recent alt mania, but it is still up over 50% in about a week in USD terms, so I'm trying not to complain too loudly.  I wish there was more aggressive active development around this coin, but I still believe in it and I have a large chunk of my funds invested.

The market doesn't seem too enamored by it at the moment.  Maybe that will change or maybe not, but time will tell.

The following clauses hold true in 50.01% or higher probability (in my opinion), so I can bet 1:1 on anyone (OTC, any amt&currency(or cross-currency)) who does NOT believe (every item is a separate bet in this case);

if you bet (correctly) that:
A) nothing happens, I pay 7:1;

if you bet that
B) at least one does not happen (and they all do, by 31.12.2017), you pay 7:1):


CLAIMS:

1. Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $2000 this year.

2. Monero (XMR) will reach $50 this year.

3. CK will reach $100 million market cap this year.


I am open to favorable early settlements. I need to raise about $10 million to pay my debts.

Welcome newbie 

It is a speculation thread but nevertheless, I think the majority of participants here are grounded and objective.

If you want desperation you should check out Adam's wall observer threadhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0....tell them they 'reek of desperation' and see how long you last before being bashed by the BTC cultists. 

[KeyJockey]

...I wish there was more aggressive active development around this coin, but...

Umm... no, sorry (and, devs, please correct me here IF I am wrong?) pretty sure that XMR is second only to bitcoin in the number and frequency of github commits and/or active contributors.

Nice try.
