BBR doesn't have a "sugar daddy" effect not network effect. It will get it's backing in soonish time.
Zoidberg is not a one man team. He is also widely suspected to have written major portions of the original CN coin. I also suspect he is thankful_for_today (could be wrong on this one), so he is never going to focus his energy on XMR. Instead he and his small team are working on just improving BBR all around. His work in not closed source, contributors are going to come to BBR just like they came to XMR.
Cheap current valuation is nothing to worry about. Accumulate and speculate.
XMR was on a terrific track until it started getting hastily shoved down everyone's throats by pumpers and a certain exchange. In due time BBR will rightly surface over the XMR drawbacks.
This is FUD. Zoidberg did not spend two years writing CryptoNote, then wait for it to be public, then lose to Monero to be the first fair release. If Zoidberg really was apart of the original CN team, he certainly would have been ready to release the first fair CN coin.
You're a liar, you're making up lies.
Also, BBR has not enough of a lead to overtake Monero, this is the Litecoin vs Bitcoin argument all over again. Perhaps if BBR had a entirely different anonymity system then sure, it could be a competitor, but it's not. BBR has the same stuff that Monero has and both teams (Monero and BBR) have been using each others commits, so the intellectual knowledge sharing is quite even actually.
You're making a case that isn't, very sad to see BBR supporters being this lame.
One of the only people I respect in the BBR community is Zoidberg, many of the BBR supporters like yourself just make up fiction and lies, I cannot respect a liar.
Who said they did not release the first fair one which was later 'hijacked'?
About the litecoin vs Bitcoin argument all over again (implying 1- that ltc never offered anything over btc, which it did at some point and hence why myself and many others bothered mining and touching it from first days of launch, and 2) that bbr doesn't offer anything over xmr) If anything Bytecoin is Tenebrix, Monero can be Fairbrix and Boolberry is Litecoin. I guess you can switch things over and say Monero is litecoin since it seems to have 'stuck' over all CN coins, or make the arguments you can't pigeonhole today into yesterday- both fair comments
but essentially same argument you make to deride BBR is true in reverse..XMR doesn't bring anything to the table over BBR, in fact it seems to leave a few ingredients off some dishes- saying 'it's better that way, we can add them later'..(once we learn how to cook them properly), yet there is just a ton of confirmation bias from xmr supporter camp that seem to act like XMR is michelin star preparation and BBR is just a cheap motel breakfast clone attempt
sad thing is looks like XMR can steal any missing dishes from BBR table and people would ask why eat at BBR table when we have all dishes here? If BBR were to steal some dishes from XMR table people would still prefer to eat at celeb-frequented and endorsed XMR table. They've been told by people with green numbers next to their name it's the
only thing worth investing in aside from BTC itself
maybe we might see a new wave of CN hipsters will start asking why the food at XMR table is so pricey in comparison, and these people start looking for less crowded tables where the food is priced more attractively and may not leave you quite so bloated and lethargic after snacking. interesting to see if xmr tries to weighwatchers hard-fork and clean up their messy body with a nice gui makeover whether people will come back to them or whether they will just steadfastly never leave xmrs side for younger, skinnier and sexier blonde boolberry . I think it will be the latter but hope it's the former for the sake of the underdog
Frankly, I hold both coins.. Just sick of constant xmr echo chamber and people using monero as synonym for cryptonote
