I second that, it's a good read and always welcome, even for those who (like me) lurk more than comment.

I bought XMR nearly a decade ago when it was first listed on Poloniex and I still have a decent stash - and I use it in real life.  Monero still has genuine use cases and is - and always has been - a great coin. Pricewise, Litecoin looks positively anaemic compared to Monero - XMR is in good health.

I ‘member when hyc and gingeropolous helped me rig a miner to go 7 H/s. 😂

^  Funny you mentioned hyc, I was just thinking about him and wondering how the Monero devs became close to him that he eventually became a Monero dev himself.

All I know is hyc was still developing LMDB and I think fluffypony and the guys approached him and requested for him to port LMDB to 32bit so it could be used for Monero..?  Is that right?

But what I really want to know is did hyc make optimizations in LMDB specifically for Monero so that it could get the most performance from the database?

Dude, I got no clue man... I followed AP here. Yolo'd in.

Took me many years to realize why Monero is needed. Watching the government print endless money while telling you what you can and cannot do. If it were not for Monero, we would remain slaves to this system. Fortunately, significant change is on the horizon. In fact, it has already begun. It cannot be stopped.

On the topic of price action, it does not bother me now. Looking at which cryptocurrencies are currently worth more than Monero is funny, but that is why the show will be so much better.

For now, it is possible to buy one whole Monero for $150. To trade 150 of something that has an infinite supply for 1 out of 18 million seems like a good deal to me. Assuming you take self custody, of course. Otherwise, your Monero is owned by an exchange that does not operate any different than normal banks.

Bitcoin can serve as the perfect tool for any entity to find out everything about your money. How much, when, with who. Monero gives you privacy and freedom. The choice is ours.

Binance Will Delist ANT, MULTI, VAI, XMR on 2024-02-20
2024-02-06 02:00

This is a general announcement. Products and services referred to here may not be available in your region.

Fellow Binancians,

At Binance, we periodically review each digital asset we list to ensure that it continues to meet the high level of standard we expect. When a coin or token no longer meets this standard, or the industry changes, we conduct a more in-depth review and potentially delist it. We believe this best protects all our users.

When we conduct these reviews, we consider a variety of factors. Here are some that drive whether we decide to delist a digital asset:

    Commitment of team to project

    Level and quality of development activity

    Trading volume and liquidity

    Stability and safety of network from attacks

    Network / smart contract stability

    Level of public communication

    Responsiveness to our periodic due diligence requests

    Evidence of unethical/fraudulent conduct or negligence

    Contribution to a healthy and sustainable crypto ecosystem

Based on our most recent reviews, we have decided to delist and cease trading on all trading pairs for the following token(s) at 2024-02-20 03:00 (UTC):

    Aragon (ANT)

    Multichain (MULTI)

    Vai (VAI)

    Monero (XMR)

Please note:

    The exact trading pairs being removed are: ANT/BTC, ANT/USDT, MULTI/USDT, USDT/VAI, XMR/BNB, XMR/BTC, XMR/ETH, XMR/USDT

    All trade orders will be automatically removed after trading ceases in each respective trading pair.

    To view your assets after trading ceases, please ensure you have not selected “Hide Small Balances” in all of your wallets.

    Deposits of these token(s) after 2024-02-21 03:00 (UTC) will not be credited to your account.

    Withdrawals of these token(s) from Binance will not be supported after 2024-05-20 03:00 (UTC).

    Delisted tokens may be converted into stablecoins on behalf of users after 2024-05-21 03:00 (UTC). Please note that the conversion of delisted tokens into stablecoins is not guaranteed. A separate notification will be made before the conversion where applicable, and the stablecoins will be credited to users’ Binance accounts after the conversion.

    Binance Simple Earn will delist the token(s) mentioned above after 2024-02-19 03:00 (UTC). Users may choose to redeem their Flexible Product positions beforehand. Otherwise, these Flexible Product positions will be automatically redeemed at the above-mentioned time, and subsequently transferred to users’ Spot Wallets.

    Binance Auto-Invest will delist the token(s) mentioned above after 2024-02-14 03:00 (UTC). Users may choose to remove the plan(s) beforehand. Otherwise, the next recurring cycle of the token(s) will fail.

    At 2024-02-18 03:00 (UTC), Binance Loans (Flexible and Stable Rates) and VIP Loan will close all outstanding loan positions for the aforementioned token(s) as loanable token(s) and collateral token(s). Users are strongly advised to repay their outstanding loans before 2024-02-18 03:00 (UTC) to avoid any potential losses, where applicable.

    Binance Margin will delist the ANT, MULTI and XMR cross margin and isolated margin pairs at 2024-02-16 06:00 (UTC). At 2024-02-08 10:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will suspend isolated margin borrowing on the aforementioned isolated margin pairs. At 2024-02-16 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will close users’ positions, conduct an automatic settlement and cancel all pending orders on the aforementioned cross and isolated margin pairs. These pairs will then be removed from Margin. Please note that users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, and they are strongly advised to close their positions and/or transfer their assets from Margin Wallets to Spot Wallets prior to the cessation of margin trading at 2024-02-16 06:00 (UTC). Binance will not be responsible for any potential losses.

    Portfolio Margin users are advised to transfer the tokens mentioned above out of their Margin Wallet to their Spot Wallet and to top up their margin balance before 2024-02-16 06:00 (UTC) where applicable. Users should monitor the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (Uni-MMR) closely to avoid any potential liquidation that may result from the removal of the tokens mentioned above from the Margin Wallet.

    All ANT, MULTI and XMR balances in Cross Margin Wallets under the Portfolio Margin account will be automatically converted to USDT from 2024-02-16 06:00 (UTC). The conversion may take approximately 24 hours or longer. Binance Margin will not be liable for any losses on new positions during this period that may incur due to the conversion of funds.

You can swap BTC for XMR on mainnet using the most popular BTC privacy wallet for a month now (also home to the largest BTC mixer probably Samourai Whirlpool with over 10k BTC in the pool now):

You can also swap ETH for XMR on mainnet for half a year now:

There is Serai dex coming soon™️ that will provide a Uniswap style interface to swap XMR/BTC/ETH/etc:
https://twitter.com/SeraiDEX/status/1754165563373543777

There are p2p options like the longstanding Localmonero, Bisq, and Haveno project seems to be finally getting off the ground.

Monero seems like it's underperforming for the amount of community, development, and infrastructure it has, but given Coinbase ignoring forever and now Binance delisting (and both of them promoting shittokens like Shib and far worse), it is what it is I guess. I don't think Monero is dead though, far from it.
