Is Monero taking over the alternate section? #3 Crypto in weeks?

[TaunSew]

Monero threads are going over the top.  They have a really strong community and sound mechanics.  Just fended off an attack by BCX.  Will Monero be #3 soon?

yeah, make another thread about it. We need it. I for one will not buy monero ever after this spam-attack for weeks.

Wouldn't that be awesome?

Monero is the new dogecoin. I was wondering where the shibes had gone.

[brekyrself]

Media outlets are starting to touch on 2.0 tech such as BitShares, MaidSafeCoin, NxT and even StorJ.  Monero will have to start showing why they are 2.0 worthy before they move up past these few heavy hitters.  Freezing the assets on exchanges because of this threat is not helping, its showing how fragile crypto currency is.

I seriously doubt that very much. Dogecoin has way to much community support that dwarfs Monero.


It seems to me from an outsiders perspective, that those invested in Monero want to "get rich quick", while Dogecoin is more of a movement.


EDIT:

Sorry Smoothie going to have to disagree with you on this one .

2.0 is just marketing gimmicks, coin with nothing really something bitcoin cant already do so they have to force this narrative.

they are not even coins but tokens.

The "coins" listed in those articles such as BitShares and NxT bring a LOT more to the table compared with BTC...  They truly are blockchain 2.0 technology greatly expanding upon the original Bitcoin ideology.

In all seriousness besides a good dev team, what is Monero bringing to the table that will allow it to prosper?

Just found this coin thanks for the thread.

Monero is like bitcoin 2 0. It's the first truly anonymous coin, unlike the coins you listed. Also it's completely decentralized, unlike the coins you listed. There are also a lot of under the hood improvements in the cryptonote technology. This is part of the reason the bitcoin core devs have been so interested in Monero.

Also, the so- called 2.0 coins are basically just application platforms primarily. Monero was made from the ground up to be a currency.

2.0 coins are so 2013. Bitcoin 3.0 is far superior. Bitcoin is the largest network in the world and only Genuine Bitcoin 3.0 applications will run on it. Don't be fooled by vaporware and cheap imitations. Bitcoin is a name you can trust.

Perhaps that is what I am getting at.  Is Bitcoin a "good enough" currency that it does not matter if another more advanced currency comes along?  These other platforms are going past the strictly currency idea thus I believe that is why they are near the top of the current market cap.

I am not trying to promote one over the other however if BitShares can prove the market peg works such as BitUSD why would someone use anything else when transmitting a "currency?"  This simplifies digital transmission of value on an international scale.

Look at Nxt and emunie's asset or market exchange.  These are creating reason to use the blockchain technology beyond just a currency.


Overall that is why I sincerely ask what reason(s) will people have to use XMR over BTC as a currency?  Anonymity is a great feature and a step in the right direction however is it enough to push XMR up the hill?  I don't even want to get into PoW vs PoS in this debate...

It's still early on with Monero. The technology is sound, but a lot of work still needs to happen under the hood, as well as on usability. Since there wasn't a pre-mine, a hindrance to progress has been a lack of good funding for development. There has been an ongoing discussion about strategies to raise money for the devs.  More funds available there could help speed up the process.  I like the potential for steady growth with Monero.

And what is so special about this coin anyway?

I think now whit paypal adoption of BTC. LTC and Doge, top3 spots are taken for some time. But in a year or 2 who knows.

[nomoreheroes7]

Just found this coin thanks for the thread.

lmao

I usually do not take part in this stupid discussions but xmr probably fills the only niche existent, which cannot be filled by bitcoin.

there is place for one transparent ledger and for one private ledger.

[cbeast]

This looks more and more like Quarkcoin.

except its called Monero.

What a dumb name. It sounds like an underpowered sedan driven by senior citizens.
