While I might be new to the forum, I have been following monero quite extensively for the past 9-10 months and have been accumulating as much as I can in that time. I hear many people in the community state that what is good for Bitcoin to be good for Monero (I.E. when bitcoin shoots up in price people will jump to other alt currencies). However, Monero, as I'm sure you're aware, isn't just a replica of Bitcoin like so many of the other alt currencies out there. Monero, for all intents and purposes, is the superior coin and I'm sure many of us would like to see it surpass Bitcoin in the distant future. Which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see an inverse relationship between the price of Monero and Bitcoin after Monero surges in price some.
