just wondered about the optimism in here
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.
