I was surprised to read that people expected the price to go up with RingCT because I think that  most traders are pretty ignorant of the superior technology of Monero and those that understand, believe in and love Monero already have all the Monero they can afford so I thought a price increase would be unlikely today.

In any case, Monero is in an amazing place now, the plane has managed to take off (this was the hardest thing) and will most likely only go higher now, and it's good that it's not going up too fast.

The steady rise hollows the moon.
