[XMR] Monero Speculation

[KiXiNiT]

I expect giant gains for XMR in 2018!!!!!

$1,000 no wait $5,000 !!

... Shit I forgot my sig campaign  

Ya, me too.  But aren't you here to tell us that there's no way it could possibly reach $1000 or $5000 in only one year!?
Happy New Year  

I was mocking the posts above mine that post absolute nothingness just in order to advertise their sig campaign

But no I don't think it'll go to $5,000 this year, should hit $1,000 come end of this year while still sliding down the rankings for overall marketcap, that seems to be the pattern at the moment.

and yes happy new year to you as well.

XMR has been knocking on the .025BTC door for quite some time.  Recently it's been poking right over that value multiple times in a row.  I like.  Volume still soft... but we are coiling imho.

Sorry to ruin it by posting Hueristic...

Knock knock knockin' on .025  .026  .027's door...

So would it be realistic to think XMR would go to like .4 or .5 btc?

What is realistic?  There is no precedent, we are all in this for the first time.  What does it take to lose that first mover network advantage?  Or was it an advantage, in the long game?  I think XMR will dominate, simply on ethics and fungibility. .4 - .5 is an area through which we must pass to do so.  It remains to be seen how this ecosystem will stabilize, or if it implodes under its own weight, even.

I am still riding the waves from the first days. Bought it very early and I will not sell it.

Not that I care too much about CMC, but looking at top20 (sadly), we got a lot of contenders, and we might see ourselves in the bottom end by EOW.
With all this craze with coins that gives 500% roi in a couple of weeks, we might get a little pushed over. We need to keep up the pace.

Best in class privacy is best in class privacy. Not sure I care about flavor of the minute coins that lack the fundamental qualities to be a digital cash. But verge-on if you have the attention of a squirrel riding a merry-go-round, sooner or later you'll fly off and be left dazed, going, "wha... Wha -- what happened?"

[Red_Sanford]

Ledger working on implementation and the other wallet mentioned here https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7n83mc/an_update_on_the_monero_hardware_wallet_with/ we will see an easy 30% rise.
Privacy coins are the future.

The great thing about monero is it's steady growth. Incremental steps without big pumps and dumps

[johnalan]

Do you think it is still feasible to invest in Monero for the long run or should I wait for another dip below $300?

Just buy gradually.  If it does dip, you get some cheap.  If it doesn't dip, you at least get some.  At this point, I think it will take a serious governance lapse and a major software vulnerability to interrupt Monero's rise to the position of premeire global digital currency.

It's hard to say because of the number of stealth coins coming out now. There's a lot of competition.

Almost all of them are doomed.  Only dash and zcash compete meaningfully for the economic niche, and both are much riskier, due to governance, technical and economic  problems.  Hence XMR leadership.  

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer - it is a fundamental law of network economies.

Still bullish as ever I see!

I think we should probably see north of $1500USD in 2018.

Any thoughts?

DNM adoption/emission drop alone, not to mention, iOS/Hardware wallets, bulletproofs, even a possible Coinbase onboarding.


I just don't understand why we are not top 5 by mcap. Anyway... room to grow!

[Nathan047]

I found this article on the CLOAK ANN thread. It discusses Monero so I thought I'd pass it on

Seeing that XMR went from >10$ to 350$+ in less than a year it's not all that far fetched.

Yes Monero and the mystery of market cap is fascinating

iirc it got as high as #5 last year but has been on a steady and slow tumble down the rankings ever since.

Even as I type this it is now at #12 behind NEO and then MASSIVELY behind Dash, I mean if every crypto were to stand still and Monero had a gargantuan increase of +50% it still would not be in the Top 10.

Why? who knows, there sure are a lot of coins with a circulating supply in the billions with a huge market cap probably a psychological buy seeing coins below a dollar being pumped so hard people jump on board rather quickly.

Maybe it can't shake the negative stigma around it that its basically only for criminal activity in a way that Bitcoin was able to shake.

Or maybe its because (My personal theory) people just don't give a damn about privacy, when you take that away its just a slower more expensive version of many other coins with implementation moving at a snails pace.

I still think it will move up gradually in fiat value (as a bagholder I sure hope so) but maybe it won't be in the top 10 ever again, would have to increase way over 50% to even keep up at this stage.

Who really knows though its crypto after all crazy market that makes sense to no one!

Market caps really don't tell the whole story even though they are the go-to metric for ranking the value of cryptos.

Many of the coins in the top 15 have absolutely insane premines that can be as high as tens of *billions* of coins. Most of these coins are locked up by centralized interests and don't do anything other than to inflate the market cap of that coin.

A better metric would be number of transactions, of which you would see coins like BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, and XMR at the top of.

True, but no one metric really tells the whole story either.

Mcap just seems to be the one that coins usually get ranked from rightly or wrongly.

Yep, market cap is a poor metric for any sort of analysis.  I wonder if there is any listing of transaction volume rankings? $ value would of course be useless 

[bitcointarget]

Some people asked me if I'm still bullish about Monero, yes I am. Ripple thing passed $90 billion market cap and monero is only at $5 billion market cap. We still have too much way to finish in order to see Monero at $1,000 price.

I'm not sure if this will happen this year, yet most likely, yes.

Hello Folks,

My apologies for not being able to follow up on the questions I was asked, but I got KO'd for 7 days due to "On-forum altcoin giveaway / Incentivising posting within specific threads".

Consequently, this is the last I will post on this forum about the 777 USD game. Hopefully, this doesn't get deleted. And hopefully, I don't get another KO for this.

The game is alive and kicking with total of 66 participants at the official Monero forum at the following link:

https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/89639/guess-the-777-usd-date-in-2018

Any questions you have please fire them at the other forum or via PM. I tried to follow up with everyone's predictions here in the thread and on PM as best as I could.  My apologies if I missed on somebody's entry and for causing posts in the thread to be deleted.

Thank you and Happy New 2018 to all of you! And for sure great things to come for Monero

seems 2018 will BE a good time For altcoin

[kwukduck]

The problem with Monero is essentially the same as with Bitcoin, it's outdated tech with limited to no chance of real world growth with the ride of new coins that actually solve big problems.

Wasteful PoW should have been replaced with PoS. We keep on hearing the same outdated 6 year old anti-PoS arguments over and over, but those issues have been resolved for some time now. We should have switched long ago.

Inefficient blockchain. Blockchain fundamentally cannot scale globally. Second layer solutions are no solutions at all becsusr they break the entire concept. DAG solved this. We should have switched long ago.

Ah! You are back! We can see a large increase shortly then. PoS is what it eludes to. Not that it matters to ducks with water an backs and all
