Those two act like a couple of morons and could have got a decent interview without all the trolling. Someone with actual skills needs to interview Mcafee about his thoughts on Monero. Listening to a couple man children for that length of time was painful. BTW, isn't Aeon testing pruning? I haven't kept up on it. |

If I knew I might have bought - but I would have offered only 6 XMR (you know, I am the stingy guy).  High quality genuine wrist watches are cool but never pay what you are asked to pay. Well, he's offered an unusual watch now, a stainless steel G-Shock. $150 usd, or 11 Monero. Doubt you can get him to lower the price, as that is already a discount. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-casio-mrg-100-stainless-steel-g-shock-150-usd-eleven-monero-3975762.htmlBut the main thing is, it is being used as a currency. Let's see if it sells for fiat or crypto. Bets? |

How much did Bitcoin being used on silk road effect its price rise?
How much of the 30x rise in 2016 was affected by a rise in Monero on the dark web?

Take a look at https://99bitcoins.com/price-chart-history/ looks like between the time Gawker wrote the article on Silk Road and DPR was arrested there was a 13X increase in bitcoin price. Wired recently published an article noting that only about two percent in sales were in Monero on the one dark web market that accepts it. The speculative pump in September was just that, speculation. It is good news that the price did not plummet back to .005 as it seems the publicity made many people aware of the privacy advantages Monero has over bitcoin and now they desire to hold some. The official GUI helps of course and since twice annual hard forks are normal for Monero there is no division in the community over that issue. |

Monero seems like a nice coin to hold, I believe the performance of these coins will soon improve. one thing that makes me optimistic is marketcap Monero strong enough so hard the speculators monero control prices.

"All countries are advised to consider the creation of the crime of unexplained wealth." whoa! "All countries are advised to take action against Digital Currencies Mixers/Tumblers. Such services are designed exclusively to anonymize transactions and to make it impossible for Law Enforcement Agencies to detect and trace suspicious transactions. The existence of such companies should not continue to be tolerated" Didn't see this discussed. Sounds like an explicit call to outlaw Monero. It's talking about mixers and companies that run them. Monero is not mentioned, so it's not an explicit threat at all. It's about BTC being laundered through mixers and tumblers. Monero doesn't need them. The eyebrow raising bit is the suggestion that 'unexplained wealth' should become a crime. We aren't far off that in some places in the world already - but I suspect this is good for Monero in the long run as Bitcoin is easily followed, Monero not so. Which is why when I lost most of my Monero in a boating accident there was nothing much I, or anyone else in the world could do about it. Or will be able to do about it in the foreseeable future. How do you lose digital currency in a "boating accident"?? |

Pretty sure it came from Aminorex, which he will likely be able to confirm once we get above XBT 0.018 or USD 25.00 |

They borrowed it from the RKBA/FMCDH 2nd Amendment absolutist crowd, who like to joke about telling the feds that all their guns and ammo were lost in a boating accident, when the gun confiscation happens. The phrase signals that the utterer has exceedingly low time preferences and functions as a polite way of saying "none of your business" as well as a warning to "beware the fury of a patient man." |

Coinbase will likely add Monero in the coming months.
Now might be a good time to buy. Everyone is paying attention to other coins like the Pascal coin pump going on right now.
Grab some Monero while no one is looking!

I like how Monero is holding a non-speculative volume of about $2M constantly.

Yeah... Shhhhh! I haven't fully loaded up the truck yet LOL Srsly do y'all suppose the recent soft-ish price on XMR has been due to coinbase needing to stock-up on some cheap monero? How much "inventory" do you suppose an exchange like GDAX would need to have on hand opening day, OR do they just facilitate customers buying and selling to each other and maybe they don't actually HODL much themselves? |
