[XMR] Monero Speculation

[kurious]

Firstly, it's interesting that the US, per head of population (one node per million) actually has less than many European countries.  Germany is 3 per million, Finland is 12 per million - even little Iceland has two nodes - one per 150,000 people.

Concentration in areas or cities is more interesting.  In the USA California on its own has more nodes than most countries (56) - more than the whole of China or Russia - which is perhaps not surprising.

Lets not forget that you can have a node anywhere that servers are rented, I had one in one of the Slavs (forgot which one) because it filled in a gap.

Also, don't forget that those maps does not show a realistic view of actual nodes out there.
For example. None of my nodes is on this map or the map from xmr.to

Yeah, I gathered it was not exactly realistic when I saw 180 nodes in a lake in Germany...

Well. A groups placement on the map is not that important, as it's just indicating the general area.

This map doesn't show IP addresses of the nodes, so it can't be verified, or be used as a list of usable remote nodes.

I got the perfect title for that chart:  The Last Laugh.  

I wrote down 2102 page of [XMR] Monero Speculation for future quoting. I just wonder how long will take until the quote will happen.

Two more charts. The bottom point of this story is that every trend at some point break.

Wha happen?  I wonder?

I dont know first chart is from obit33, he is long time poster. Second is of new reedit account, a week old https://old.reddit.com/user/felix60 . And in a week he went from super optimistic to super pessimistic to super optimistic again.

It would be funny to send a message saying to use coinbase to exchange to USD.

Did we get a little bart out of it?

I would assume the Owners of Morphtoken, and the traders on Bisq are also seeing a bit of an uptick.

The further we go, the more absolutely ridiculous it is for Monero to continue to be this ignored.

No altcoin narrative comes CLOSE to the reality of Monero's fundamentals.

DeFi (whatever that even is) is where all the lemming energy is currently focused.  But all the while real action is happening here.

I guarantee one thing.  Governements have already been planning their attack.  Because this tool is WAY more powerful than they can contain.  It is possible that the wiser among them have also realized that an attack on Monero would only serve to legitimize it.

Most of "crypto" is made of alt casinos, and Rube Goldberg perpetual motion machines. But there are two narratives that actually matter in my opinion:

- perfect digital scarcity with censorship resistant value storage and exchange while limiting trusted third parties
- cryptographically sound privacy maximized cash transfers

In the sea of noise and scams these are the only things that actually matter.

I am weary from the waiting for the rest of the world to begin to see it.

Yes, we probably aren't going to see gov'ts suddenly come down on Monero.
TPTB have been fairly successful thus far in keeping Monero out of the mainstream through the chilling effect of statements and policies that they promulgate.
The result is that exchanges don't list XMR, and some of the exchanges that did handle XMR have de-listed it.
I don't think there'll be any dramatic change or sudden events that change this trend.  XMR isn't going to die, nor is it going to take over the world.

The latest exchange to list Monero was nicehash.  https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/monero-xmr-is-now-available-on-nicehash-exchange    Until there are, for every bankrupt exchange and every exchange that delist Moner,o 5 new exchanges that list Monero I shall not worry.

Monero is one of my favourite cryptocurrencies. The price has increased since the last 3 month from $38 at 30March 2019 to $65 today.

I agree. the coin has prospects. but it is not stable enough.

Monero is one of most stable coins beside Bitcoin.





If anyone missed yesterdays news about message to the Twitter hackers you have it here:

LOL, I didn't notice the Sats went from 666 to Leet.

I don't know if the hackers would have been seeing it, but it doesn't matter, the newspapers did 
Nicely done advertising. I however wonder how comes nobody refunded this guy; after all he did spend 11$ on his ad (most on tx fee).

Staying positive, glad not to be stuck on a 6 number after a painful while

Hey Globb0 - price is looking much better.  Monero is most definitely alive and kicking and nicely appreciating against Bitcoin as well as legacy currencies, while LTC (for instance) is looking rather sickly in comparison.

Sweet.
