Your capitulation makes me bullish.
Every time when it was way too silent around Monero we peaked suddenly and very high.

Glad you liked it. Hope the same for you.

You want hot air or real world use cases? I choose the second and IOTA.

Together with IOTA, AION is my best bet for 2018. According to Metcalfes law this one could be a giant, nearing the Ethereum market cap.
The market cap is still tiny, gains of x10 are possible.

True.
The Tangle beats blockchain easy on scaling and speed, add feeless transactions to that and what do you need Bitcoin for?

I like to listen to you plankton, for a short while it makes me laugh...now ignore.

Simply ignore and dont feed the troll. 
Trolls troll, but we like to make money.

IOTA IXI Hub is finished. That means we will see soon implementation in Poloniex, Kraken and Bittrex. The german largest Bitcoin exchange Bitcoin.de is going to list IOTA too. That opens Fiat Gateways together with Kraken.
And some feeling tells me that Bithumb will list IOTA too, because they like to list Top10 coins. Also Japanese Exchanges adding IOTA would not be surprising, as they have established strong contacts in Japan.

Basically IOTA is already too strong to fail. Fujitsu, Bosch, Daimler Benz (just wait a little bit), Volkswagen, Bosch, Samsung, Huawei...long list.
IOTA advisors sit in conferences with regulators in UK, Germany and G20.

All those who missed my last call on IOTA now have chance to enter a project which will span all over the world and become the largest decentralized network we have ever seen.
People have asked me if I do have another strong call for 2018. Yes. AION.

Dangerous scam fork, you risk to lose all your XMR by logging into the XMRV wallet.

Only AION. This is a real project, with huge development, not "we have a new logo and website rebrand hype Lisk".
The very fact that AION is still not in the top 10 tells a lot about the investors in this space. Load up on this one as much as you can. Thats it.

Sonstebo said that a module for IOTA, the IXI Hub, is beeing developed and is nearly finished (security checks now).
This will enable the waiting exchanges (6 of them as far as I know) to just plug&play, so when IXI Hub is out, they can list IOTA pretty simple.

The current market cap is also looking bigger then it is. Projects like XRP or ADA who have locked coins away from the market or do not even have a working project yet are overblowing the market cap. Chainanalysis also found out that 4 million BTC are lost and can never enter the market again. So basically even the BTC market cap is smaller then it looks now. There is a lot of room for growth.

So IOTA has now a supervisor near to BMW and one from Volkswagen and one from Bosch Venture Capitals. Giants of the car industry.
The price of IOTA is funny right now, but I guess most will wait for a pump up to 6 or 10 USD, then it will be interesting for them.
It is crazy considering the potential IOTA has: 50-100 billion market cap in 2018-2019. This would bring the price between 15-30 USD.

To make such gains with a really valuable and sustainable project which you can hold like a good stock, instead of Pump&Dump, is nearly impossible nowadays.
It seems the new wallet is nearly finished, this could be the sign for the exchanges to add IOTA. Sonstebo has also said that further news around IOTA and Volkswagen will follow soon.

Looks nice hmm? A bull pennant like from a school book.

XVG is a good coin...to scam newbies who have not even a basic understanding of crypto, neither technology, nor finance.

I would not like to speculate here far too into the future or to speak about (yet) less realistic values.

I just know one thing:
Compared to the current "top" cryptos XMR has real development, a network effect due to a strong growing community and it has a utility as real money, way better then BTC or derivatives of BTC.
The current valuation of XMR is compared to other larger projects a bad joke and will result in an upward correction. This low market cap is not sustainable and will result in higher prices.

What kind of negativity?  
On Reddit even some speak about the recent crash we had...
Which crash?  

I watched XMR going up from 1 USD to 15 USD and down to 4 USD.
That was a crash!  

Meanwhile I love the bearish and consolidation phases, because those prevent a too strong bubble in this too fast developing field. Over all this time I have developed a strange attitude which allows me to relax in the silent or bearish phases, while to strong bullish movements make me anxious.

In this madness of scams and bullshit projects XMR and its community are healthy and a solid rock.

IOTA and XMR will be the new coins on Coinbase.
Both are real, innovative and big market cap projects with huge communities.

I think more exchanges for IOTA are crucial to ease the access to the token also directly via Fiat and more markets. Dominik Schiener said that several exchanges are going to add IOTA in the next time, but are just waiting for some things (update?) to be done.

IOTA is also my No.1 bet when it comes to Coinbase. It is a Top 10 crypto and who is Coinbase going to add from the big ones?
BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC are already listed, Ripple will be listed too. You guys think they are going to add Cardano or DASH?
Honestly even looking at the top 10 or 20 I see a lot of needless crap that needs to go.

XMR and IOTA are the two coins on Coinbase for 2018.

XRB looks funny to me. It has risen to a 2 billion market cap on small exchanges on very low volume where even 1-2 BTCs could eat whole sell walls and rise the price? Everything combined with a heavy shilling campaign on reddit... Mhh I dont trust it.

True, IOTA will be bigger then BTC.

BTC simply can not be that huge how IOTA will become, because it is technologically not able to do what IOTA can.
To connect billions of devices worldwide.

While IOTA can easy do what BTC does, without any fees and much faster.
Bosch Venture Capital is the first company ever endorsing a cryptocurrency, giving the IOTA token a clear value.

The fundamental software of BTC is nearly 10 years old, of course there simply comes a time, where smaller updates cant help it to keep at pace with technologically superior projects. So while BTC and BCH fight about the blocksize, IOTA is inventing the warp drive.

After the last update IOTA transactions are very fast and reliable. This will scale further up. 1000 TPS and more are easy possible with the IOTA network. If you use BTC these days you know how painfully slow the transactions are. I prefer to have feeless and fast transactions.

IOTA will be the first really mass market used cryptocurrency, not just a mere speculation. I expect it to reach the current BTC market cap in 1-2 years already.
I look forward to further exchanges adding IOTA (German Bitcoin.de exchange will do it 2018) and to see the first smart contracts by Nakamo.to and Peaq.

Nakamo.to has already established contacts with the national bank of Japan and demonstrated them the power of IOTA.
http://www.nakamo.to/article.html

Oliver Bussmann (former swiss UBS bank high ranked employee) who is an advisor of IOTA has already mentioned that several national central banks are in contact with the IOTA foundation. I think we will have a very interesting year 2018. IOTA is fire and forget, a long term investment with high impact.
