This year is not 2018, it's 2020 - year of rise of the Ryzens, Monero's gaining a monstrous size (+decentralized) hashrate ... and the necessity for a safe fungible crypto as the BTC adoption grows to its new highs, it looks to me that it has a chance not only to break its old ATH but also the ETH ATH TBH Smiley

Massive USDT dump, on Bittrex USD/USDT market 1USDT is 0.9USD atm, was 0.97USD this morning, Kraken and Bitstamp have lower prices because they give real USD for BTC.

Venezuela would have fast and cheap international money transfers independent from the Central Bank. If the people in Venezuela start using Petro in theirs everyday activities, it would be a big victory for whole crypto world. I'm kinda confident that they will use it since many of them depend on help sent from friends and relatives living in other countries and Petro would be cheapest and fastest way to do that, also they are prolly one of the top crypto-educated nations atm.
If I was a bankster I would be very worried now because if that works out fine for Venezuela then some other countries would follow as well Wink
Right, but I can already hear the choir of bankster FUD.

"See what they got to? That country began going to the dogs the day they revoked concessions to the big corporations, and it was downhill from there. Now they even lost control of their own money. It's going to be a hemorrhage, I tell you. See that we never get to that!"


The moment it is evident your word is worth NOTHING no one will ever trust you anymore. The moment Venezuela started expropiating corporates and revoking concessions no one would invest any single penny on it. That's not a case of bankster FUD, it's just reality... would you invest in Venezuela?

Petro will go NOWHERE. Remember it is not exactly a decentralised crypto... it is controlled by the Venezuelan government. So much for trust, uh?

Unfortunately Venezuelan people as well as all other people in the world are obliged to use theirs official national currencies in their everyday life, of course its not decentralized nor it has any tech innovation, but at least they will be able to use CRYPTO for theirs everyday activities, millions will be paying bills and buying stuff with Petro since getting cash in fiat money there is really pain in the ... loses value between the time you earn some money and spend it, real problem of everyday life there that could be solved if Petro survives the bankers intervention which will surely come in all kinds of FUD and even the military intervention is not excluded if Petro becomes a danger for them...

This should pump up the price of BTC pretty fast when those who are wanting to buy this petro coin are needing bitcoin to do so on Nov 5.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/9kzzgv/due_to_hyperinflation_venezuela_goes_full_on/

Man that coin is full on shit coin.  I hear gazilion news about it for a year and all I know is that is or will be issued on NEM.  I can check 999 coins how are issued where and where are traded and at what price are traded and I never heard of them. Of Petro I heard so many times but zero useful information. Zero.

It is really sad that first country that decided to give crypto a try did it so unprofessionally.

Maybe Petro is an utter bleepcoin and its prolly a bad investment but I will use it to send money to my girl there in Venezuela cos she's stuck there for two months already getting her papers done. Currently I'm using BTC for that but the rates on the street are total ripoff with 10-20% fees when buying or selling, they say that's because of hyperinflation and traders have to protect themselves with high fees. If Petro gets listed on any decent exchange I'll be able to send her money instantly without being robbed extra 20%, simply don't care what will be its price when buying cos she can use it there immediately, in a country hit by hyperinflation that's a blessing, as well as the fact that Venezuela would have fast and cheap international money transfers independent from the Central Bank. If the people in Venezuela start using Petro in theirs everyday activities, it would be a big victory for whole crypto world. I'm kinda confident that they will use it since many of them depend on help sent from friends and relatives living in other countries and Petro would be cheapest and fastest way to do that, also they are prolly one of the top crypto-educated nations atm.

The Monero blockchain is becoming very large, i wonder how big it will become in around 5 years time when Monero has mass adoption on the darkweb. Hardware wallets cant come soon enough either and will drive the price of XMR up high Smiley

I think that the developers will solve this problem. The coin is very popular, but it needs to be constantly improved so that users do not switch to other similar coins. Now Monero occupies a leading position among private coins.

No worries, hardware developers are doing their thing  Wink

and what the fuzz about monerov Huh  is it good coin Huh 


i thinking about buying alot of it if they provide good solution toward monero's shortfall... u know Monero Enterprise alliance and stuff...  it sound like a centralization.

How come a legendary member who spent countless days on this forum doesn't know that even the most popular BTC web wallet (bockchain.info) had some horror stories on lost funds?

How come a legendary member asking stupid questions about 2 pages long Monero-V thread mostly filled by idiot posts without figuring out for himself what's behind that scam?

How come a legendary member like you doesn't know that Monero Enterprise Alliance is just a comedy stunt by our lead comedian?

I expected more than just cheap insinuations, please get your shit together and be a good dashole, we need real quality FUD to take off, not this crap you're serving us now, give us some real FUD or GTFO  Cool

For those of you who have rejected Kraken due to the poor interface/trading engine, I thought I'd pop by to mention that the new engine is working way way better than the old one. Trades and withdrawals going through first time is a nice change. Check it out (KYC required).
Q

I can confirm this, not only that there are no more silly errors on Kraken while doing trades and transactions but also the liquidity and volume are much better now, moved all I had on Bitfinex to Kraken, bye bye finex Smiley

These youtube technical analysts experts are really pissing me off, now everyone knows BTC is going to 8k or even less and everyone will buy back right at the bottom of the dip and nobody will sell at the bottom at 8k or below, yeah right everyone will do well if they listen to those no-lifer high school dropouts that got an opportunity to actually have any audience once in their lifetime, got only one question for them - how long did the last flash crash last (july & september) and how big was the rise that followed after everyone bought theirs coins back?

Even if we are in a down trend it shouldn't last for 2 years like it did back in 2014-2015, today BTC and cryptos in whole are now much bigger thing than 4 years ago. I think it won't take longer than 6 months before the new bull run starts and I feel comfortable holding XMR even if the big crash happens. The market looks overbought with crap coins, and monero is not one of those that get dumped to 10% of its ath in no time. Actually I do expect a decent amount of crypto wealth to be injected in XMR after the crap coins slaughter ends, so Monero should do fine vs BTC and for a crypto zealot like me that's more than enough, I really don't mind seeing BTC below 10000$ for a while if Monero settles around 0.03-0.04 BTC ...

I just want to find a damn safe non kyc exchange! I don't think one exists.

I use Bitfinex, no limits on withdrawal and deposits and no KYC, also no support for US clients because of no KYC I guess ...
So if you're US based a VPN could solve your problem, there's only a little catch, no new clients would be able to trade there unless they deposit at least 10000US$, here's the fresh info on that:

https://imgur.com/a/w9Gd9

I can also recommend Bittrex, it does require KYC but its an easy one, I got verified within 20mins after sending my passport and selfie, a friend of mine had it done in less than a day, way faster and easier than Poloniex and other KYC exchanges.

I member XMR price per coin was higher than ETH and DASH last january, looks like we'll see the same very soon Smiley
Don't know who's pumping BTC at this insane price, I doubt its the people, looks more like those who once said - Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes it’s laws - maybe they can't beat BTC but they can surely buy enough to control the price and wealth of millions like they always did.
We're lucky Monero is still cheap and gives us more time to grab some before the price goes too high, keep them secret, keep them safe, monster's prying eyes are watching ...

If the coin price goes up it doesn't have to mean that hosting on SC would be more expensive than competition, just imagine if the number of hosts and users comes close to the level of Google + Amazon + Microsoft - then we would see increased demand for SC and a lot higher coin price ...
Right now we can't really know will it happen or not, but so far the devs did a pretty good job. I remember how the SC client worked when this coin was in early stage and the price was below 10sats, back then it was an adventure to try to set up a host even for pro IT folks like me, now it works like a charm.
With video streaming coming within next 6 months and the ability to share files outside the SC network somewhere by the end of next year I feel like this project has a bright future and the current price (below 200sats) is a steal.

hw wallet in aplha... in september

wikileaks giving you the option to give away money in xmr

and devs who have publicly demonstrated that they will kill any attempt at a pump

what a fucking shitcoin

rip

edit: no offense meant @debruyne
Like how you criticize the minor stuff, but not a peep about the RingCT 2.0 paper, which will fix Monero's bloat problem, as well as massively increase the anonymity set at the same time. Dimwit troll alert. I remember when Monero used to have trolls with more than two brain cells to rub together, but now we have to make do with this. Oh well.

Hey, I hope RingCT 2.0 happens, HW wallet too (although I'd be surprised to see finished code anytime soon). But I don't see anything here that will drive the price up in the short to medium run. If so, the price in BTC risks falling down to the old price range of 0.0017-0.0040. If that happens some slightly enlightened soul will probably just fork this into a new coin with a new community willing to do what it takes to get all the pieces in place. I seem to remember Fluffyponzi saying something about monero being a research project. I had no idea how literal he was.

Oh, and regarding your disappointment in troll quality. Top Trolls don't waste their time on lower tier shitcoins. I've never been much of a fan, but a lot of people I respect believe in this coin (or at least they did until the fluffyponzi stunt). I'm kinda awestruck at how little is done to attract new users. GUI wallet needs to be polished and everyone here needs to kiss some serious ledger ass to get that hw wallet support asap (The friggin Trezor drama was amazeballs stupid) or this coin will die. If these things fall into place, and market cap and liquidity gets a bump up, it can find some real use cases in finance. If not it will lose to an xmr clone, or even zcash. That's if it hasn't lost already to Dash (yeez!).



Now that's a perfect example of simpleton troll fud, calling Monero a lower tier coin and spicing it up by saying how little work has been done with a pinch of dash and zec promoting ...
They usually do that when they place their bids low, we'll prolly see more of similar BS in coming days  Undecided

Wow, according to info below we'll have a Prestashop plugin for XMR payments  Smiley

Monero Integrations Updates #7

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6tgxng/monero_integrations_updates_7/

I've already installed BTC payment gateway for prestashop on few places, can't wait to add Monero - FYI prestashop is one of the most popular free POS platforms for retail and online shop, this could be bigger news for XMR than wikileaks, ledger or Indian fiat exchange  Cool

Any crypto project that depends on only one man is not a legit crypto project - did Satoshi (whoever he might be) retired from BTC? - yes, and that was  long time ago, and BTC is now where it is just because of community efforts ...
So, if CZ wants to be to BBR just like Satoshi was to BTC just let it be. If anyone here really wants BBR to have a future - don't just wait for CZ to make a miracle for you. If you really wanted that, why you haven't invested in ETH or some other centralized ICO scam, at least those that pray to Vitalik got some profit from it now.
BBR has a chance to be second best cryptonote project and that's not a small thing in crypto. I'll follow this trail and donate 1k BBR to this effort of reviving it (as soon as I sync my BBR wallet lol), hope that more bagholders will follow  Wink

Come on out old time crew. Quicken is fishing.


LOL I guess maybe I count as "old time crew" even though I was never very 'involved' in XMR much beyond just buying some early on and always planning to HODL as long as necessary...

My first posts on bitcointalk were actually in a MaidSafe thread (I still HODL all my MAID from their crowdsale too) but looking back at post history it seems my first Monero-related thread post was Mid-August 2013: what was XMR price around then?  I believe my initial basis-price for the first few Moneroj I socked away was something like $0.70 cents?  Although it's probably much higher now (probably 10X higher, over $7 by now, I'd guess) as I've added more as XMR has become more successful and stronger... kind of a reverse-dollar-cost-average I guess LOL but at least overall current price is higher than my unit cost by now Cheesy

Anyway, initial buy-in under a buck counts as old-school doesn't it?  Who here has the absolute *lowest* first-buy basis price??

Ah, had to correct you - Mid-August 2104, in 2013 Monero didn't exist yet - anyway, just noticed there's quite a bunch of us that maybe never contributed anything to this project, yet we're all doing good now, even bragging about how many Moneros we've grabbed for under a dollar and celebrating bit too early  Embarrassed

I  would chip in 50XMR for a special fund - Monero exit scam fund for year 2022 - donations for Monero core dev members and contributors which would be used for them to enjoy life instead of just donating for development (work work ...). Those that made Monero project go this far (and beyond) could also use some donations for crates of finest Barolo wine, wasting everything on roulette table etc ...
I already did something similar for some close friends of mine - over past 6 months I gave away around 200XMR with a time capsule recipe - 50XMR per newborn baby for them to open when it grows up, 5 XMR for birthday but do not open till next birthday ...
Now just imagine how big Monero Exit Scam Fund (MESF 2022) could be by the year 2022 if measured in USD  Shocked
Would be nice to hear from others about this idea, also it would be nice if those funds are managed by a respected member of Monero community or the core Members themselves, I'm just a silly newbie troll after all  Smiley

I started buying the same time as you but I have a problem, I only like to see my Monero balance go UP.

I hear that. Exactly my approach through 2014 and 2015. I'm trying this new thing called balance now. Still over 50 percent of wealth in monero, but not 95!

Any other old timers from 2014 celebrating?
Q

I used to have over 4k XMR accumulated since 2014 but now my stash is halved, started celebrating while it was still below 20USD  Tongue
Still can't be happier cos I made all my coins out of thin air, never bought any crypto with fiat, it was just a hobby - lil bit of mining, lil bit of trading, now when I look back 3 years behind I still can't believe what I did  Grin
This year XMR has been so volatile and bullish, just like BTC back in 2012, next year Monero could live trough BTC experience of 2013, it looks kinda same - only better  Wink
