I continue to hold that Ethereum is strictly irrelevant to the currency use-case. The barriers to liquidity are too high. The layers of complexity required to achieve fungibility are too risky. The scalability problems are intractable. The legal/political risk is off the charts. Even zcash is more credible, and that is another corporate coin, centralizing political and legal risk.
I will wager 100 XMR that a top 3 volume DNM offers XMR support before ETH. When that happens, game over. XMR mcap will then surpass ETH within a month.
In fact, that might be what our whale friend knows about.
