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.
