[XMR] Monero Speculation

[Bitcoinaire]

This is way off topic but I have bitcoin paper wallets that I want to split the bcash from and buy more monero. Whats the best way to go about doing this?

https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc and have fun downloading the full bitcoin blockchain, then just import your private keys.

You don't need to sync. Move Bitcoin to new addresses, then import old private keys in electrum cash wallet.

Just wanted to be clear; When I move my coins from a paper wallet, I should move it to a new paper wallet or an exchange like coinbase?
Then I import the old private keys to https://electroncash.org/?

Either choice will work.  New paper wallet is more secure.  Unless you plan to trade, I'd avoid an exchange.

One year ago, XMR was $6.  A year before that, it was 40 cents. Today, XMR is $133.  One year from now, 1 XMR=$______

we are at 0.0164 and holding on OK.

Bitcoin just keeps on marching forward now over 8K (8047.96) wow, the pullback there looms larger and larger but it doesn't ever seem to come.

What are the thoughts on the 2 relative prices? hoping for a bit of elastic between the 2

Edit - Latest Master Luke comment - "We go for 20k on the corpses of bears."

That's still a big push for BTC, still seems more believable than just a few months ago.

Monero bullish while BTC is like this is amazing...

It can't go on forever of course without some correction, but it's really hard to take any profit out when it looks so rosy and just keeps climbing!

Monero mentioned on CNBC Africa as coin with biggest potential with emphasis on corporate use for transactional privacy:

Funding required for Sarang and Surae Noether our two resident cryptographers. These guys are among our most important assets and will be vital in implementing Bulletproofs.

Please consider contributing as much as you can afford. Every little helps.

Was that you keeping keeping the price depressed the last few months? Oh wait, your a hacked account you can't answer for him.

In last couple months there was traded $5 Billions of Monero. You expect there is someone here who can  depress  Monero price? This is not 2014 anymore.  And I doubt Saudis or Rothschild's care for crypto much.

Alot of people don't get my jokes.

I really not understand yours jokes. What's the funny things here ?

BTC whales adopting Monero is really a double advantage blade, tag my phrases...

Not to pop your bubble, but i doubt there's any whale that would invest in Monero as long as its coin supply is infinite.
Yes i know you call it tail emission which doesn't make it any better. It's by far the worst property of any coin.
It assures people the value will decrease over time.

All the non-arguments about fees not being enough to keep the miners active are so tiresome, there's no evidence to support that claim and completely oversees the fact that it is self balancing system.

Sure some coins get lost here and there but to assume you can even get a rough estimate of how much this would be is delusional. Why would the coin supply need to stay level? What is wrong with remaining coins being more scarce and gaining value?

If somebody were to fork Monero with a hard cap, now THAT would be a serious competitor in the market.

This right now is nothing but a pump and dump. Infinite coins wheeeee, infinite coins for everybody (just because it's 'slow' doesn't matter, still infinite, making the real value exactly 0)

[kurious]

Trolls always welcome, they usually say nothing new, but often presage a hike in price.

Shorting Monero is a riky game, ask wankalone!

$1,000 by the end of 2018 looks to be a conservative expectation.

Are you immortal? With only 157680 XMR a year with tail emission it would take 100 years for 15 million additional Moneros to be mined, I hardly call that infinite

[garytheasshole]

What's with the names in here. I already saw a wankalone mentioned. Now I see a garytheasshole. What's next?

I love Monero for the record.

Then you would love Aeon too, I assure you. Join our campaign. Your virgin signature space needs loosening up.

https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=1984281.0

Monero and Aeon are practically brothers sired by none other than Smooth himself.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but there is so much love I can give, plus I like my current signature.

Even at current,  which many fanatics consider to be low, value, that is 20 million usd which is assumed to get lost.

20 million is not even half of the daily trading volume. See how Monero fairs with Bitcoin's emission https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qXi7zUSIh7F6UuSuhOryyFbHEy_LJuym3I3neAga_2s/edit#gid=239466694 And come back.

we are so proud that our roboadvisor was right with its forecasts about monero: https://roboadvisorcoin.com/ethereum-and-monero-both-up-as-suggested-by-the-robot/

[generalizethis]

I would rather rely on a proven system that takes <1% annually than use "fingers crossed guys!"  Bitcoin folks have always been chimerical about the cap, but I always assumed Satoshi knew it was just a way to get the greedy into the door.

[tokeweed]

Satoshi had no idea what he was really doing as far as the cap is concerned.  He might just be picking numbers in his head and might have thought that a 21m cap might have been a good idea.  IMHO.
