And what is your point? I have made and lost a lot of money, and continue to do so.

What else would I say I am? I invest for myself and am not an official spokesperson for any of the things I invest in. Also if you recall I was one of the only shareholders to ever warn of newbies and never attempted to pump the stock. Please read all my activemining posts, I lost a lot, but I never tried to save myself by dragging others in, I always warned off others even to my own detriment.

And I made a lot of bitcoin in other investments, Bitfinex, JustDice, etc... Some work out and some don't, what exactly is your point?

Labcoin on the other hand was silly, I went a little mad with that one, my posts are quite embarrassing.

EDIT: Labcoin was my first exposure to this Bitcoin world and I behaved badly, however, I certainly changed my ways by the time ActiveMining came about and started to fall into a bottomless pit of Kens retirement.

it's ok. everybody has won and lost some money here, myself included
just easy to be so sure about something at the time- that becomes painfully obvious in retrospect.
You wanted to bet last time after I offered, i think you never actually put the btc down in the end which was good because it would of added insult to injury.

I'm not trying to argue that you will lose money on xmr, of course this is nowhere near the same thing--
just you seem totally adamant right now xmr is the one true coin, and bbr is nothing. I am not I just think it's a little shortsighted to dismiss it that way that's all, or maybe it's just me that's the boolberry beleiber and thinks the market cap disparity between the two is wholly underserved. Anyway we can have our differences., now I'm gonna stop ranting

I am not certain at all in Monero being the one. This is my position:

I am only adamant about Monero keeping its lead over Boolberry. I take Hal's position but instead of Bitcoin/Litecoin I apply it to Monero/Boolberry. Boolberry does not have enough reason to overtake the market leader. The POW and pruning are nothing amazing and not what the focus should be on. True pruning perhaps.

This is my position:

1. Monero, without another anonymous currency competing should continue to cement its place as the main anonymous cryptocurrency.
2. Boolberry should not be in a position to overtake Monero based on it's minimal and questionable changes.

IF: Boolberry overtakes Monero then the precedent is set for some other CN clone to overtake Boolberry based on marketing hype.
Under this conditions it's likely something like DuckNote would replace Boolberry and so on and so fourth.
DO: I am out of CryptoNote for good once this happens. (In fact I'll probably release drawingthesuncoin to compete!)

3. Ethereum may not compete for anon, but it will take the spot light away from Monero, not sure how to use this to my advantage.
4. Zerocash that does not need an accumulator and has been extensively crypto-analyzed will be a major threat. This may not ever exist.

5. Anonymint's super coin, keep an eye on this. There might be more chance Monero is developed to scale before this super coin is released.
