I've had 2 people inquire how to get XMR (therefore BTC). Not interested when I put BTC in front of them early 2013. Not interested when I put XMR in front of them 2014. I'm used to it. Same disinterest when I made the case for gold <$300. Suddenly FOMO on BTC2 strikes, and its a good idea. Takes some longer to grasp the potential than others. Its all fun and games until someone makes a fortune  Humans are diverging into two groups, along the Morlok vs Eloi tropes symbolized in The Time Machine. We are the Neophiles, which Robert Anton Wilson described having as the following basic characteristics: The ability to adapt rapidly to extreme change. A distaste or downright loathing of tradition, repetition, and routine. A tendency to become bored quickly with old things. A desire, bordering on obsession in some cases, to experience novelty. A corresponding and related desire to create novelty by creating or achieving something and/or by stirring social or other forms of unrest. A complete objection to or distrust of commitment. A neophile is distinct from a revolutionary in that anyone might become a revolutionary if pushed far enough by the reigning authorities or social norms, whereas neophiles are revolutionaries by nature. Their intellectual abhorrence of tradition and repetition usually bemoans a deeper emotional need for constant novelty and change. The meaning of neophile approaches and is not mutually exclusive to the term visionary, but differs in that a neophile actively seeks first-hand experience of novelty rather than merely pontificating about it. The opposite of a neophile is a neophobe; a person with an aversion to novelty and change. Wilson observes that neophobes tend to regard neophiles, especially extreme ones, with fear and contempt, and to brand them with titles such as "witch," "satanist," "heretic," etc. He also speculates in his Prometheus Rising series of books that the industrial revolution and related enlightenment represents one of the first periods of history in which neophiles were a dominant force in society. Neophiles accelerate change because they like it that way.The word "neophilia" has particular significance in Internet and hacker culture. The New Hacker's Dictionary gave the following definition to neophilia - The trait of being excited and pleased by novelty. Common among most hackers, SF fans, and members of several other connected leading-edge subcultures, including the pro-technology 'Whole Earth' wing of the ecology movement, space activists, many members of Mensa, and the Discordian/neo-pagan underground (see geek). All these groups overlap heavily and (where evidence is available) seem to share characteristic hacker tropisms for science fiction, music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeophileThey are the Neophobes. They hate new things. Thinking objectively about abstract ideas makes their brains sore with cognitive dissonance. We Morlocks carry the burden of intellect, production, and advancing civilization beyond the stars. The Eloi live in blissful ignorance, but they are our natural prey, and so they perceive us as terrible monsters. I thought this might be some nice reading in the calm http://capitalismmagazine.com/2002/08/franciscos-money-speech/ |

I see Monero has dropped under $10 , I think this drop happened because Ethereum is moving up these days under the affect of Devcon2 summit in Shanghai which will start today , am I right ?
I wouldn't try to connect the price with certain events or news right now. Monero had seen an incredible pump.Therefore a bigger correction was about to happen. So it's more just the market playing it out at the moment and looking for a solid price where it might stabilise for a while. |

I have the feeling that the correction is over. I may be correct or not, but today is my birthday so I bought some Monero OTC and I think this is the best present I'll receive today.
Wishing you the happiest birthday equipoise!!  |

Am I alone when i say that i think that the bottom is reached? 150 looks pretty stable atm there are no more panic sellers who are selling their coins with loss -seems to me. I think now its a good time to reinvest.

I had the same thoughts today. Seems like panic sellers and profit takers had their days, but now the sell pressure (and volume) are very low. We had falling prices on low volume nearly the whole time. |

although the price has continued to drop big time?
That is a reason to buy not a reason not to buy.  |

Awesome! And the below seems to be an important detail: Updating: Blockchain Conversion
Due to the space savings and performance gains it is again highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero. |

Really starting to feel like we are putting in a bottom. Question is, do I trust my judgement enough to go all in. (not all in all in just all out on bitcoin) Life is full of such hard decisions.
