But I am glad if you guys prove me wrong here...

Wanna make a bet for a few BTC? I say XMR will hit ATH within the next 18 days. You can bet against.
We can use a mutually trusted escrow if you like.
Game?
In the binary betting I give the odds for new ATH in terms of bitcoins within 1 month or so 25 % and no ATH 75 %.
As there is 25 % chance (in my personal opinion) to lose the bet I chose not to bet on that.
Bear in mind, this is not Dark coin which is a wet dream of a speculator (which I was told by one of their community member - but the timing of that was wrong - anyway with correct timing I would not have believed in him/her).
Definitely when Dark coin drops significantly the hoarding of them is a no brainer because it will eventually be pumped back up. In case of Monero I am not so sure....
