I am interested in the fact XMR volume seems to be on the rise, or at least staying solid.
Any thoughts?
There is a lot of talk about Monero. Any kind of talk. New protocol upgrade. New mining algo. Listing on exchanges and of exchanges. Bad guys trying to spread malware to mine Monero. Different crypto influencers talk about all that. When people learn about Monero are shocked of 0.1 cent transaction fees. And mostly are shocked, that
Monero actually is what they thought they got when first bought Bitcoin.
Monero have usecase and it is used. That is why price when going down will go much less as of other useless coins. Monero ZEC price flippering happened a month or two ago. Now you can already get 2 ZEC for a Monero.
You hit that nail on the head, now if only the eco system gets integrated into mainstream markets. Also the transaction fees are something you don't hear enough about, I'm glad you mentioned that.
