I just read that AlphaBay is now accepting Ethereum as a coin. I think that this won't make XMR's life easier. Especially not when all are in the hype of ETH.

Sad that XMR couldn't really use the momentum. But hey it has always a positive side. We probably can rebuy at 0.0080 again soon Smiley I hope so very much. But staying at this is also ok or going higher...but I am happy sold at ATH...always found a greater fool Cheesy

I know people like you.
They tend to brag how they bought their coins on the absolute floor and sold all out at the very peak to the "greater fool".

I have no clue where it goes from here... Still the ATH is not even touched so kinda bearish sentiment here but I am hopeful that my bearishness turns to the euphoria.
Bear in mind, Dark coin cost yesterday 0.12 btc or so and a while ago you were able to convert Moneros to Dark coins at the ratio of 1:1.
If I am not mistaken, Roger Ver is behind the Dark coin pump and he has told according to Bitcoin Meister that he also likes Monero so perhaps Monero is the next coin that will get the pump, what do you think?

Ver is supportive of both XMR and Dark Coin and I imagine he has a separate rationale for each coin. XMR has solid tech, a fair launch and a community that is willing to accept the risks of hard forks to stay at the cutting edge of technology in the short term. Dark Coin lacks the tech and fair launch but has marketing, more wallets and typical altcoin low volume so it can offer inexpensive fees.

Ver hasn't given up on BTC and is at this point using Dash to try to leverage his vision for growth. I'm very dubious that it'll result in any sort of long term significant gains for Dash usage, which has literally never seen any increased usage prior to February of this year when the pump started. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-dash.html
