[XMR] Monero Speculation

[Globb0]

Talk of a retrace for bitcoin to 650, its dipped a bit already and I think we are riding the gentle wave up at 72

[phoenix rises]

C'mon Risto, stick a spear in that Bearwhale  
Only 200k still left on offer below 82 from someone who is clearly trying to scare the market and reload lower ...

But at least I finally understand that Zero Knowledge Proof refers to the buyer and not some tech.

Thank you for that.     

Take my upvote.

Looks like XMR is on the rise again, volume has kicked in on Polo - not sure if my 0.005 and 0.004 orders will be filled now - still, I manged to fill my boots on the way down.

[relm9]

Yeah, feels like we're going to test that support at 0.007 though. Not sure it will hold if BTC continues to go up.

Monero overtaking Dash again.   

Dash rekt like Hillary's campaign!   



Of course XMR is always crushing that scamcoin in terms of volume, despite it being traded on more exchanges.

I speculate the price of Monero will go to the moon when we get traction on major exchanges besides Poloniex.

Given we went to $12/XMR just with the capitalistic power of Poloniex, I'd expect $120-$240 when Monero trades on Coinbase, BitMEX, Kraken, Bitfinex, Gemini, BTC-E, etc.

The curious thought is what will be the catalyst for acceptance on other major exchanges from now until then.

I wonder how much the general perception that Monero is the Polo coin has to do with lack of major exchange adoption? Apart from more difficult implementation that is

[wpalczynski]

I suspect a lot of coins pay hefty bribes to get listed on bigger exchanges.  I've heard rumors of bribes up to 100k being asked.

Profit motive will be the catalyst for acceptance on other major exchanges.

Other exchanges are letting Polo have a monopoly on all the sweet sweet trading fees it's getting from facilitating ~100% of XMR's multimillion dollar volume.

But it's difficult to compete with Polo's liquidity, lending, and margin trading.  Those are killer features.


EDIT:  I've heard from an impeccable source that Monero's lack of multisig is *THE* constraint on large exchange listings, as their security models (and perhaps contingent insurance policies?) require that functionality.

That's why I was asking how we can speed up multisig development, with the goal of achieving implementation parallel with or soon after RingCT.

I will ask a math PhD buddy if he can do the peer review himself, or help find a qualified specialist, then put up a FFS request based on his feedback.

Rekt like the US will be if Trump is elected.

It's quite clear that RingCT *must* be stable before multi-sig can be added on top. Not much you can parallelize in this development effort.

Btc will be highly valuable regardless of the elections
Its Fiat people need to worry about....

The election is nothing more than an election of who will be the conductor of a train with a predetermined path.

Ultimately there are inevitable events coming down the road which neither candidate can avoid.

Same goes for the legacy financial system.

Sounds very fatalistic; there are of course choices at every juncture.

Those choices may (or may not) still arrive at the same point but they will determine the time, velocity and weight of that arrival.  For all the Clinton bashing she remains a far better choice of 'train driver' than a thin-skinned sociopath with a junior school understanding of the world and who has no coherent policies other than feathering (or should that be gold-plating) his own nest.

As the British have discovered, voting for dramatic change as a protest against the 'system' is not the wisest of ideas.

Not wanting to get int so called politics: Please do some more research on your preferred candidate. You have choice of clown or evil witch / evil hangers on....

If forced to select between a misogynistic, racist, egotistical buffoon and a cunning, evil criminal with a track record of perpetuating American terrorism world wide I will take the buffoon.

What a sad state the US is in that the people are forced to make a choice between these two horrible candidates in the first place. 

I would venture to say that a bit of US political discussion is relevant in this speculation thread since the result of this election could have a fairly significant impact on world markets, US petro dollar status and crypto currency valuation.

My mindset is a wildcard like the buffoon could be real bad or real good. With the criminal, we know what we're getting, and what we're getting is bad. I'm a gambling man- I'll take the buffoon any days of the week.

The other wildcard to ponder is how long before he gets a bullet in head by a "crazed lone gunman" if he really chooses to independently influence policy contrary to what is comfortable for the establishment.  I believe the last US president that tried to do so was Kennedy and we know how that ended.
