so many people mining monero right now.. (include browser mining) this coin skyrocket its popularity so does with the price.. what next? will it beat eth in the future?

ETH and XMR are not even competitors but yes I would expect within 5 years on the outside Monero will be #2 Cap and Eth will have pulled another boner that will cost it a huge portion of cap.

you are all so positive about xmr and yet its tanking for weeks already

btc_xmr almost at 0.02 again

These are called buying opportunities, you will regret not taking advantage mark my words.

dw im long on monero too but so farm im averaging down daily

just wondered about the optimism in here

Te optimism is from being here so long and watching this project progress, there is no alt community of devs that even comes close to the professionalism (as a whole Tongue

FP), capabilities nor integrity of this team. Period

Just read this if you want to see the veiws of this team and how they protect the community even when we don't know they are doing it!

Personally I think XMR > ETH in 1 year, XMR > BTC in 5 years. That's my primary time-scale.

I can see XMR going past ETH in a year, but I'm not really too sure about XMR > BTC in 5 years. Remember back in the spring when ETH had the monster pump and it seemed like The Flippening was going to happen? Never did.

BTC for all of its flaws still has the network effect. And as we see in companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, having a network effect on your side means that you can dominate the landscape even if your product is subpar.

There will be 'that moment' when the sheeple discover the hard way what fungibility is. There is sub-par, and then there is catastrophically flawed. The pace is picking up, but it seems to be like the frog in the pot. Most will just boil.

Very true, I foresee (and always have) XMR as becoming adopted by the consumer while BTC moves more to a store of wealth and all the regulations that come with it.

...
It's called Long-Term Investor point of view as opposed to short-term day-trader aka gambling point of view.

Is it really so hard to understand optimism of HODLers who bought their XMR at $7.00 (or $0.70 cents... or really even at $70.00?) who see today's price still nearly $100... and who believe an actual true fair market value will soon enough be above $10,000 per coin... seriously not CARING that the price is down a bit from a recent peak near $150-ish?

If/When you really understand exactly what Monero IS, and what it really MEANS... *then* these short-term price moves become just meaningless static white-noise.

The only sensible thing to do, at all, really... is just buy and hold as much as you can manage. At ANY price.
