[XMR] Monero Speculation

[explorer]

Very good looking now. In uptrend I would say. However it is not definitely x100 coin

Ya, dismal 40x this year, and  only 30ish last year. (if you are bad at math, that's about 1200x in 2 years) So it is obviously all over now, despite 'looking good'.

Add:
Now that I consider it, XMR is the only coin that I feel quite certain has a sustainable 100x in it. 

That's crazy talk--do you really think the technically proficient and the uber rich will demand bast-in-class privacy and an auditable supply? Pfft, please! And don't you know that small caps have more room to grow and promise (insert vaporware here) and Bitcoin is censorship resistant (except when exchanges decide to censor you)? Monero can't compete with microcaps and one-coin-to-rulz-dem-all

You're right.  I thought better of it, and deleted my mad ramblings

 BTC loans on Poloniex tightening up.  0.136% - or up about 100x over a few days ago.   BTC being pulled for the next clone coin?

[birr]

BTC is actually $5000 over and still the Koreans are buying. Reason for this is that in Korea it's harder to get money around, and therefor they're willing to pay a premium for it.

I do not believe this.  Retail just has a hard time getting in.  Supply is constrained and demand is high, because this channel allows easy purchase, but accesses limited liquidity.  It is a picture of what will happen when a proper BTC ETF is listed in the U.S. - not some pink sheet closed-end fund which no one wants to touch except for arbitrage.

crypto hedge funds type folks start to pick up on your postings:

Yeah, that was pretty interesting.
I've been worried about the high fees putting a damper on btc.  But this guy talking about options, family offices, pensions and the like puts a different perspective on things.  The big boys might not be deterred by a twenty dollar fee or a hundred dollar fee.  Also, it's going to take time for these big investors to get in.  They're waiting for a viable custodial arrangement, which might take a year or two.
So in the short term, btc might take a hit because of the network congestion or simply because it's time for a pullback after extravagant gains.  But long term looks bullish.

I would expect XMR to go up. It's done pretty well this year, and there's still room for it to grow. I know BTC has it's growing pains so I wonder if this is an opportunity for XMR to continue that growth.

My 777 guess got deleted, I am going to guess March 30th 2018.

[fromholland]

$777 at April 18th 2018 is my best guestimate. 

[XMR2020]

After Bitcoin has gone to zero....the ashes of Bitcoin....

Radically transparent Bitcoin's ultimate destiny is disruption in the realm of macroeconomic concerns like central banking, while radically opaque Monero's purposes are microeconomic (relating to individuals and firms) in nature.

Bitcoin and Monero are perfect complements, perhaps the greatest pairing since salt and pepper.

This is exactly my thesis. I'm a monero-bitcoin bicryptomaximalist.

This seems pretty big, since OKEx shows are 5th biggest exchange in last 24h. Is HongKong based, so seems just perfect fro Monero.

[GordoLui]

I want in on this contest.
My guess for 777 is 11/10/2018 

[leea-1334]

Monero dropping along with Bitcoin. We could possibly retest the old lows (btc), then back in the fast lane.

Yeah, if anyone was able to buy when Bitcoin touched below 12k, congratulations. I really need another dip, a big one if possible, and if January serves us up the usual correction/dip/whatever you want to call it, I can really feel Monero also following that pattern, before renewing its bullish year in 2018. So come on, all you Bitcoin haters, sell it as hard as you can so I can get my own entire Monero stash.

P.S. Any Monero meetups in my area? Currently in Singapore or Thailand. I know there must be some people who value anonymity and privacy.

Are Monero meetups actually a thing? I can imagine that it would be hard to get a decent sized group of XMR users from any local place that isn't a major city.

There is lots of metups.  It is hard to make them in every village so I guess many need to travel a bit to addend them. On reddit is at least one a week posted, but maybe was such time of a year. Just google a bit and you will find some close to you.
Latest is I guess in Chicago: https://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Monero-Meetup/events/246104735/

Hey, just downloaded the GUI wallet and am trying to figure it out. How exactly do I connect to a public node (that way I don't have to sync the blockchain)?

I didn't even know that was a thing. I probably won't attend one, but it's neat nevertheless. I guess I just figured that there wouldn't be all that many.

Searching is fun sometimes. Today was searching for Monero on Youtube and found this video

I think that every user of the crypto currency appreciates the anonymity and confidentiality of the comma, but the most important thing is that the price of their choice of investments but not the one that expects. If today to look At the situation through the prism of the growth in the price of Bitcoin, then practically nothing compares to such activity.

Funny how a few months ago when Monero got added to Bithumb the price nearly tripled whereas getting added to OKEx has done little for the price. How quickly things change in the crypto world.

Bithumb made a huge show when adding Monero. And that is exactly what matters most right now about price in crypto.  You see that there is something strange in Korea happening right now when all crypto is +20%  Most likely some serious group of people is taking care of getting more people in crypto.
