On the other hand it makes me sad to see so many absolute shitcoins rallying yet again... it's the curse that won't go away.

Yeah, makes you worry if we are even special at all. We keep believing people will "get it"

I've been believing this for a few years now, but I remain disappointed at how long it is taking for others to realise how special Monero is. I wonder what it will take. And, of course, the more time passes the more likely other coins will come along to challenge, perhaps with a greater development budget.

So so there with you guys (well guy and gal I think?).

But even if Monero's value remained somewhat shrouded due to whatever reasons, I would at LEAST like to see BCASH and Ripple die in a fire the way they are supposed to.

I mean allusions to the dotcom runup are constant. And to that extent Ripple is like a damn e-greeting card startup and BCASH is just a bad idea that everyone believes in. And yet... boom.

But right now the tide is lifting all the boats... I'll just keep watching.

Meanwhile in BTC:

Again, *IF* the bull run happens to ignite from here... It's going to be really interesting to see what happens when FOMO actually hits the masses. December was but an appetizer in my opinion. That was the event that made the world really wake up to bitcoin. They all got their coinbase accounts, bought at the top and have been licking their wounds.

But this time... ... ... ??

And Monero? As far as the public is concerned it is truly one of the "Crypto Blue Chips". Yes, ripple and bcash are in that bag too... but the differences and advantages we can see so clearly are really differences and advantages. Eventually their self evidence will sink in.

That GUI FFS up there? Let's fund it. And bulletproofs will help too. The faster and easier Monero is to use the better. Those are still it's biggest hurdles. Getting smaller by the day.

Monero being considered a blue chip is a big deal and I'd argue a rather recent realization for the masses. Breaking back into the top 10 as well as big name peoples in crypto starting to truly call out scam coins (and in turn shine light on the few real projects) has definitely helped.

Definitely kicking some xmr over to the FFS. Great momentum is building and the projects for the second half of the year are truly exciting.
