ASICs are a direct speedway to centralization. Do you want to concentrate a lot of XMR essence/power into the hands of a Jihan Wu kind of guy?. Nothing good can come from that. Let´s keep the proyect open and distrubuted, even if in hands of botnets

Once you go ASIC positive you can't go back. I consider the advent of BCH a negative. My impression is that the market nearly flipped, and that in large part due to the centralizing influence of ASICs. It is not a future I would want for Monero.

Depending on the algorithm we might be handing that power to literally Jihan Wu himself. I imagine SHA256 would be a contender. Removing CPU friendliness also would kill browser mining, which unlike botnets, has some positive, in the light sorts of applications. Like salon.com I remain sold on being ASIC resistant. But this is a good conversation.

We need once and for all to break the link to the scammy CryptoNote [...]
Wasn't the tie broken when Bitmonero became Monero? I thought that was all long behind it and no longer an issue.

I am a terrible speculator. I should probably not even post in this thread. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I think XMR is suffering from a set of circumstances. 1. Last winter's crypto explosion, and current correction. Looks to me like Bitcoin is trying to decide if it is going to continue the bear or get back on the rocket. Looks to me like it is continuing the bear. This has a HUGE impact on all of crypto including XMR. 2. The forkcoin. This created some sort of "artificial" volume and hype moving us into the 30s and now that is gone. This combination looks short term bearish for XMR to me. I remain long term bullish on this project, and it's value.

HATE you guys! ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I'm always dry during these times. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) as usual failed the having the balls test to flip anything out at a top. Hold, on. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm with you one this! It comes from missing the train the first time for me, just can't take the chance of missing it again so cannot take advantage of the big swings. :|

Just not THIS time. I liquidated my bitcoin at 9000. If bitcoin falls while monero falls further relative to bitcoin at the same time, I may not be going back into bitcoin when I turn that liquidity back into crypto. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) We'll see. I'm starting to get some signs that I made the right call but it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

I was thinking 0.05 and 1200usd, however I'm now closer to 0.02 and 200usd Hopium depleted, moving through grief stages. Soon to be acceptance.

I think I've said it before, but if your mood swings this fast and extreme, you've invested too much. Sell some, and enjoy the rest of the ride! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Instead of thinking about the USD losses (that I am definately taking) i'm really finding myself more focused on the exciting prospect of having more crypto when the dust settles.

So it's not the amount I have invested ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Also I see the fair value of XMR based on supply and fundamentals at around 750usd per coin. So I'd rather hold to nothing than sell now.
