[XMR] Monero Speculation

[Hueristic]

I'm curious to know what Aminorex makes of this. He was there at the meeting. I wonder what the reaction was?

Go back a few pages.

He hasn't posted since before "the incident".

A while ago I read someone said, very pithy, "Bitcoin Runs On Drama But Monero Runs On Comedy"

A little light entertainment proving your point.  

Hitler Reacts to Fluffypony's Monero Announcement

Huge

I lol'd

    That was a riot.  Someone has way to much time on their hands...   But a hella sense of humor....   I can picture a lot of the folks here being cast as Hitler. 

Bravo....   

[iCEBREAKER]

Price is higher than before the announcement. Time to get over it. Viva Monero!

Bitcoin runs on drama; Monero runs on comedy.

QED 

Fluffy's brilliant maneuver is reinvigorating the XMR project and associated markets.

Heat from self-immolating speculators melted the snowflakes, redistributing increasingly precious XMR from weak to stronger hands.

Many noobs experienced their first crypto-baptism of fire.

Only the those worthy of Satoshi will learn, heal, and grow.  The rest will move on to scams like Dash and OneCoin, where they will be fleeced yet again.

12 months from now as the price 2x,4x, etc, this will be forgotten.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

He intentionally set fire to other peoples money in the name of his ideals.

Fluffy may only burn other people's money if they foolishly grant him the power to do so, via their greedy tweet-based speculative gambling.

That lesson is the entire point of the exercise.  Here in Bitcoin Land we must trust code and not individuals.  If you don't get that, even after a good cry and long night's rest, crypto isn't for you.

Please understand the more you sob, remonstrate, and bitterly complain, the more it demonstrates exactly how well-timed and crucially important Fluffy's brave, selfless act really was.

I loved every second of the Downfall parody (IMO one of the best subs of it ever), but it gives me no pleasure to give notice that you are the whiny rage-quitting Mike Hearn here.  

My hope is that you snowflakes will toughen up in time for the start of the actual rodeo, when BTC+ALT value exceeds that of IMF SDRs.  

Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters!

It is all fun and games until you step over the line. Here is some evidence of a possible conspiracy to manipulate Monero price.



Posting just in case WhalePanda decides to clean up his Twitter feed.

Fluffy came out of this a hero to everyone who matters.  The useless salty and butthurt freeloaders have self-identified and fucked off to Dash or OneCoin.

This one is better.

The dump started Wednesday at 3 PM Eastern time, three hours before the presentation was scheduled. Monero went from .023 to .018 before the fake news actually aired at 7 PM. Some one was in on the joke and made money. Looks pretty clear to me insider trading was going on.

Sure, and the news that in Timbuktu someone fell of his bike now influences the recent BTC retrace...

Guys, you are screening nonsense 

[iCEBREAKER]

If Fluffy and the rest of the team despises speculators then why can't they just work under the radar and let the technology speak for itself instead of constantly yacking on twitter and btctalk?

XMR devs aren't required to take vows of silence and live out ascetic existences in monastic conditions.

Fluffy is allowed to have a life, express himself freely, and do what he wants.  Here on Monero Mountain we mustangs and ponies like to have fun (and DRINK).

Your sense of entitlement to control his social media interaction is exactly why he needed to teach you a lesson in “how the cow ate the cabbage.”   




Fluffy, if you see this, Happy National Wine Day!

Please stop trying to make him out to be some kind of a martyr, or a savior of anything!

This is starting to sound more and more like a cult, and you've been convinced that the only thing that will save your mortal soul is to drink this koolaid! Or maybe we should use the "Burn the Witch" analogy?  Again, with the idea that somehow burning someone alive is good for them! Because Satoshi or FluffyPony or someone else knows what's best for all of us because the rest of us are all too stupid to know our own minds. And you keep preaching the mantra that basically the "followers of Monero must be cleansed and those found not worthy shunned for the good of the chosen few"!

I've seen more crap in this forum from people that I thought had a head on their shoulders, than I ever expected.  I've been told because I do a very small amount of day or swing trading where 95% of the time I'm adding liquidity to the market, that somehow I am stealing from others, or somehow manipulating the market... that's crazy!

It appears to me that those of you who hold the most Monero don't want it to be distributed to a larger group. Isn't a "fair distribution" a key element of a NON-Scam coin? And more importantly, if we don't get significant participation from a larger group then this just becomes one big circle jerk!

I understand that now the initial furor has died down a bit, all the good soldiers are going to circle the wagons and protect their "gallant leader" but, don't try to make it sound like he did this for my or anyone else's benefit other than his own!

I think this is more fitting!

Why you would want to characterize Howard Chu like this, I have no idea. As far as I'm aware, his contributions to Monero have been immense. What have you done for Monero except cozy up to FP at every possible opportunity?

[Whtwabbit]

Fluffy has really outed a lot of scammy people, by suggesting that FP "scammed" them they are only letting us know subconsciously what they would do if in the same position

Huh?

Did you read that in a book somewhere?

So far this is the most interesting discussion on these events where some devs take a critical standpoint to his actions:

Looks like Fluffy has crashed the entire cryptocurrency market Bitcoin included.

I think we all know the market has been in a bubble and something had to pop it. Maybe it's better sooner than later. Less total pain.

In the long term this won't make any difference. If cryptocurrencies makes sense, and none of us doubt that, the market will inevitably recover, and Monero is undoubtedly the most well thought out of them all. Though I am concerned that it will carry for a long time the stigma of having started the whole rout.
