[XMR] Monero Speculation

[comp]

would you buy some xmr right now?

Sure...one of the only credible alt coins out there.

I mean, you're not really trading XMR at this point.  The entire market is trading as an index based on speculation of what effect BTC segwit deployment will have.  If there is no type of catastrophe, people dumping now will have to buy back higher.  If there is a BTC catastrophe that blows up the entire ecocsystem somehow, then...I'm glad I own #physicalsilver.

When all else fails, consult the MatTheCat investment quote generator:

I bet you that nothing even close to the bullshit we see in Bitcoin happens on Forex

In defence of BTC trading, at least it is not as criminal as Forex

I guess when AB comes back online nobody's touching it anymore.  There's a huge possibility that they have turned in to a honey pot operated by the feds.  If so then what's the hottest DNM right now and what other DNM's accept Monero?

I doubt it will come back, but it's anyones guess. However, we must assume that all DNMs will eventually exitscam. The incentives are just too good. It's almost like a community promise at this point.

Hansa is immune to exit scam by design.  Integrated multisig can not come fast enough.

maybe AB saw it coming and pulled as many coins from it as possible and dumped them?
maybe thats the reason for the crash yesterday?

for me this isnt too far fetched

The alts they don't take took the majority of the beating.  So I have my doubts unless they were unloading bitcoin to other alts via ShapeShift & dumping them on exchanges to clean up their Bitcoin.

I disagree.
Monero seems so hard to code that there are very few wallet providers supporting it. Remember, Jaxx gave up. Also no hardware wallets so good luck storing your coins outside of the exchange in a secure manner.

Basically Monero is in the same situation it was 1-2 years ago. Hardly real world use cases.
Actually, it is even worse now as even Crypto Kingdom is out of the picture.

The utility of Monero is very limited and basically it is just another shitcoin.
In my opinion, the current price is very lucrative selling opportunity - after all it is like 4-5 times higher than 1 year ago.

Jaxx is clearly incompetent, based on their terrible security practices. Ledger hw wallet integration seems forthcoming: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6invis/ledger_hardware_wallet_monero_integration/

Monero is just accepted on new dnm, even though alphabay seems dead. I think that makes it most accepted coin besides bitcoin anywhere on dnms.

Rpietila is an insane scammer. Good riddance to CK being gone (even though it seems to be continuing on in some fashion I think).

I'm not buying XMR right now, but I wouldn't let these bullshit reasons be the cause.

Not making this up... I read this and immediately bought 4btc more monero.

I value your input.

CryptoKingdom died?  I see posts from rptelia from just a few days ago about it.

Always wondered if it ever actually became a game instead of a spreadsheet and a role playing thread but never got around to checking.  How's he a scammer?

  Exit scam.  He ran off with 7 figures.   I am very sympathetic to those who lost money, but good riddance IMO.

I came too close a number of times. Thank god it was all just too complicated for me.

Well I assume CK was the biggest single use case of Monero? I doubt there was no significiant demand from dark markets for Monero....?

Whoa rptelia did?  Good grief - from the game coffers?  How's he still keeping the game going then?  7 figures of $ or 7 figures of Monero?

This is just insane to me ... I've had had a dozen scam ideas with all of these ICOs going on.  I'm fairly sure I could make a million or two.  But I'm too terrified of the law to do it ... prison time kinda scares me.  Can't believe being a public figure he decided to.

Guess that explains why he doesn't post around here much anymore.  Was there some "hack" or excuse - or he just emptied the coffers?  He was one of the few around here I *almost* trusted.
