Bitcoin can *NEVER BE* a lot of what Monero already IS and that's not likely to change, ever. Most other altcoins? Not so much...
There is nothing standing between xmr and it's successor as the primary legitimate fungible digital cash except marketcap. Admittedly overcoming that obstacle can be challenging, but it is a vast, fecund, and competitive space. The sooner we get back in front of ethereum, the less I will worry about the marketcap moat. It does make me sick to see a centralized mutable coin prosper as well as pre/instamined scamcoins while XMR's adoption stagnates. I registered a domain back in October to finally start on a project with a XMR frontend but just have not been up to digging into it. Why didn't this exist 20 years ago.  |

Why didn't this exist 20 years ago. Oh, man... don't I know it. In the early 90's to just past Y2K I ran a software development business (Windows utility tool) and while I did everything *but* the actual coding (contracted that out to overseas cheaper devs) it was still a high-energy pursuit -- up all day doing tech support and shipping disks etc then up all night doing testing, bug reports for the devs, UI design, help file code, website, etc etc etc Cokes & Snickers to keep going, grab an hour or two of sleep under the desk from maybe 6am to 9am, then back at it day after day month after month... yikes, that's totally a young man's game and I could never handle it again nowadays... LOL Wish I could though... contributing more to the crypto economy now would be great if only I had the energy. Best I can do now I guess is just BUY and HODL as much as I can afford  |

I designed and oversaw the Y2k response for Cherry Semiconductor (acquired by ON during that period) and it was amusing that everyone said "Damn what was all the fuss about we didn't have any problems" completely missing the point that there were no issues do to our hard work. http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/newsItem.do?article=66So what's the deal on the bitcoin forkokalypse and coinbase adoption??? It's messing with my plans for the next six months, LOL. I.e.:Huge price pump (BTC'ers move their money to XMR), take money off the table, price subsides, buy back in bigger, wait for the September hard fork, profit big time (and keep hodling a chunk...  ) I have no clue atm. Have not had the time to watch the market. |

It seems that your posting has improved a bit but you still suck at accumulating.  |

No. The money will flow into altcoins soon enough. Massive dump incoming? Maybe. We'll still be a lot higher than before. Will Monero resist? More than any other coin, yes. |

Damn, Monero took a pretty big hit the last couple of days. It's still up over the last week in USD terms pretty well, but nothing that impressive compared to the other alts. It's still in the Top 10 and could another mega pump at any time, so I'm holding mine and staying long. Plus anonymous coins are the future and XMR, DASH, and ZEC are the Big 3 right now.

Monero is at $23 dollars and you call it a pretty big hit. You must be new. |

Monero is at $23 dollars and you call it a pretty big hit. You must be new. even in BTC only price decrease was today as all other coins because of sudden 8% BTC raise. other 6 days of last week Monero was stable in BTC or price was growing. And overall we are a bit over how much Monero was in BTC a week ago with difference that BTC is worth 14% more. |

Question is do you have spare BTCs to collect some XMR while they are falling.. I don't have any doubts Monero can surprise whole Bitcointalk community this year so be smart and buy while you still have chances. |

I expect a huge dump, xmr could surprise(greater fools buying a coin with obsolete tech), i expect below 0.01 again unless btc fails hard due to the scalability issue. |

We're in a good situation overall. XMR relative to the dollar is holding up very well. If the price relative to BTC goes down, that just means it's a great buying opportunity. |

I love see BTC going up as this is in long term good for XMR and Crypto.
But BTC RSI is in overbought teritorry, MACD is reachings its highest point....if BTC dumps XMR and ETH will profit from that.
Honestly I have time, I would love to see BTC going beyond 2k USD and more, but I also expect a massive dump/correction somewhere here.
I feel very comfortable hodling XMR, time and future are on our side.
