I have been following Monero off and on for about a year now, and have been accumulating various amounts since around March of last year. I certainly do not know as much about Monero or other cryptocurrencies as most of y'all, however, similar to what somebody was saying earlier- bubbles can be immensely beneficial for the Monero community. Just as he was saying, out of bubbles such as the 1929 bubble, the dot com bubble, or even the Bitcoin bubble, many long lasting companies and investors were created. Monero is the internet's best kept secret and the community suffers from a serious lack of publicity and marketing. Now with the recent update more of the general public can become involved and begin to pump up prices and begin generating serious interest in this wonderful project.



P.S. I have my own hopes and predictions, but, I would like to ask all of you where you see the price of Monero in the next: month, 3 months, 6 months, and year- respectively.

I suppose you're right. I value privacy and security above all else. My point can basically be condensed by saying that if Monero is to become a top cryptocurrency, regardless of whether or not it surpasses Bitcoin, it will have to eventually diverge from Bitcoin's price chart and that at some point the high's and low's of bitcoin can no longer be used as a future indicator for Monero.

While I might be new to the forum, I have been following monero quite extensively for the past 9-10 months and have been accumulating as much as I can in that time. I hear many people in the community state that what is good for Bitcoin to be good for Monero (I.E. when bitcoin shoots up in price people will jump to other alt currencies). However, Monero, as I'm sure you're aware, isn't just a replica of Bitcoin like so many of the other alt currencies out there. Monero, for all intents and purposes, is the superior coin and I'm sure many of us would like to see it surpass Bitcoin in the distant future. Which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see an inverse relationship between the price of Monero and Bitcoin after Monero surges in price some.

So in the next 3-6 months where do the majority of you see the price of Monero heading? Additionally, what do you think the volume will be looking like?
