If Monero implemented masternodes I would immediately sell all (3) of my coins.
I would rather be invested in Etherium.
Well... Almost.
Is that the reason why XMR price dropped in recent days? In my knowledge, almost of MN coins often drastically drop in the long-run.
There is of course the long running DASH/XMR market om Poloniex that can speak on this subject.
https://poloniex.com/exchange#xmr_dashEdit: I would not be surprised if see a crash of DASH on the above market in the future, because of bulletproofs.
Do you really think there is a chance that bullet proofs aren't already priced in?
I think it's certain that bulletproofs aren't priced in (much). We've only just begun the research phase to see if they're even safe/viable.
A parallel might be, what happens to a drug company's stock when they begin phase I clinical trials of a new drug?
What were the biggest rises in price (vs BTC) is for XMR? I think they mostly were news connected on its usage in the darknet. And rightly so... It's the best anon cryptocurrency out there today and it's getting better.
The tech is great but usage is what gets it's price going up.
