Wow this could be the start of something beautiful !

Monero is weighted 1% in the Morgan Creek Bitwise Digital Asset Index:

Almost correct. The coin you mean is called Petro, not pedro, and it is running on the NEM blockchain, while XEM is one of the coins on the NEM blockchain.

You might have called the bottom

Crypto is by far not mainstream yet. In comparison we are in the era that the steam engine was invented, and while everyone in the village had heard about one because gossip travels fast, nobody ever had seen one let alone used one. The interest will faint away until someone actually enters the village with a steam powered engine.

The time that more than just a handful of people are going to realize that this steam powered noisy thing is more than just  a rumor and they see how useful it actually is, is still before us. I believe the 'facebook moment' of crypto will come once people can earn crypto in mobile phone games.

I cannot wait for the MVP ! well done sofar.

One question about the abilities of the product: will there be a random function available? in my current trading bot, i actually use some randomness to place orders, in some cases.

I am trying to decide which app to vote on for the NEM Hackaton ( https://nemflash.io/official-poll-nem-global-hackathons-community-choice-award-2018/ ) and wow that's a hard choice, so many interesting projects !

the article does not say though if i should vote for only one or, say, the top 3 ?

Ok so i figured, once i start dumping, the market will magically turn around.

So i dumped only 0.01 XMR and jay it worked 

Ok second try (first was deleted) my guess is 28 july 2018

Hmm yes you should.

How can the price go down on a limited resource ? Eventually a shorter must buy BTC to pay back the BTC that he/she borrowed (that's how shorting works). But BTC is getting more rare every day.  In every dip on the markets, there is some farmer in zambia who bought his first bitcoin. Since there are a lot of farmers left in zambia without bitcoin, the transfer is still going from the few to the many, and no future contract can ever prevent that.

Historically prices of futures never influenced the price of the underlying asset much.

Also, keep in mind that a future is originally meant for commodities like e.g. grain or wood. These contracts are passed on like hot potatoes, because if the contract expires, you literally get your commodity delivered in your front yard. Most people don't want that but.... because bitcoin is digital and it would fit nicely in any backyard worldwide with virtually no transport or storage cost, it is very easy to  take delivery after the future has ended.  My guess is that shorters will be terribly burned, soon.

A good measure of Monero's success is the amount of vultures that are coming to separate fools from their XMR...

I just  noticed XMR is #3 now on coingecko

amazing news ! the long wait is over!  

Both are important. Fungibility so you cant accidentally get 'tainted' coins, and anonymity to protect yourself.
