^ Dunno about that. Volume and liquidity matters a whole lot. And source of price where all exchanges base their own is from the market where there’s a whole lot of volume and liqudity. Even if Atomic swaps try to dictate the ‘real price’ of XMR, it will be arb’d enough to be priced the same as the market.
Yeah but if monero becomes the bitcoin privacy layer skys the limit?
Exactly. And I think this will actually be the case. At LEAST it will be Bitcoin's industrial strength privacy layer. I think lesser, but significant privacy will be acheived on LN and Liquid.
I think the question mark here is if Monero becomes a attractor for the most tainted of all BTC. I have not worked out in my noggin yet the implications of that... Seems a little risky, but at the same time... risky to whom?
