I cannot imagine Monero (XMR) to reach $3000 as it's not considered a truly anonymous coin anymore.

Who says that Monero isn't completely anonymous anymore?! Only because of the Ciphertrace patents?

To come back to the topic of this thread: My picks for this year are:

ETH
DUSK
AERGO
Radix
Polkadot
Utrust

XMR? You sure this is not a typo? Its currently at like $150 and its peak was maybe $450. I don't think its possible for it to hit $3000 ever. Sure its a privacy coin but there is going to be regulation against privacy coins and it will prevent some exchanges from using it. Look what the US regulators are trying to do now with self-hosted wallet. So this is why I don't think $3000 is possible for XMR.

Pretty ironic that a few hours after I made this post, Bittrex has decided to delist privacy coins. Basically I think there is going to be more regulation in the near future and coins like XMR posses a problem especially when deaing with KYC. What is surprising is that ZEC is still listed at Gemini, however Bittrex has decided to delist it.

The big question is why they are doing it all of a sudden. A few days after SEC sues ripple. I think they were maybe contacted and warned to delist these coins. We will find out in the next few days what happens. If more US based exchanges decide to delist privacy coins then we know that its due to regulations and this is the reason why I don't see it going to $3000 with all these issues.

Anyone saying monero isn't anonymous is using poor OPSEC. Only reason it will go to 3k is the utilities which will be built on it. (Even if the supply is uncapped , The supply will remain smaller than BTC for the upcoming years with the emission rate @ 0.3XMR when it hits 18.4M.) You also mean to tell me that the rich and powerful who may be escaping laws regarding money laundering / "Tax avoidance" / Tax evasion and perhaps some of you Bitcoiners who perhaps cash out into fiat by alternative means to hide your actual amount of BTC available to the masses? Just consider for a second and see that 3k is not out of the realm of possibility only assuming that 55.2B in market cap. Seems small compared to the vast wealth scattered across different subsidiaries and shelf corps. Imagine if Monsack Fonseca event again and these powerful people being exposed again. Dash and Zcash are dogshit. If you believe in BTC then XMR is truly what you'd want in your portfolio.

Monero won't just be a privacy coin. It'll be privacy coin that will rival ethereum and cause another influx of capital to enter the space. Monero is digital cash. Doesn't matter if they delist it. It can still be used on decentralized exchanges. Centralization is simply another alternative to the ones in this space.
