I'm new to monero and I was looking at putting some money into it. Question, what caused the recent price spike? Was the inflation decreased?
I think mainly speculation fueled by the positive development on github as monero keeps getting closer to a 1.0 release, perhaps combined with decreasing daily emission.
Monero needs transaction amounts to be hidden from public (not just sender/receiver) and a official gui wallet, and both are close to being ready.
With those 2 in place, we can begin work on increasing amount of XMR users and merchants.
