Maybe because BBR was in a downtrend for most of that period?

Maybe because this is the XMR thread not the BBR thread?

I'm not sure which.

Of your two assertions, that one was the only one that was factually and knowingly false. Your "fix" make them two factually and knowingly false assertions, for a rate of 100% factually and knowingly assertions. You are the definition of a troll and welcome to ignoreland.

I very much enjoyed your response....but I hope it's clear that I am doing no such micromanaging.  Believe as you wish, and I will invest as I wish....  Live and let hodl.  But we are talking about an anonymous cryptocurrency here, man!  It needs to be free from backdoors, compromised developers, and any kind of state surveillance.  David Latapie may be a brilliant developer....but I do not trust him for the task at hand.

David Latapie is mainly a free marketer, he just don't understand few part of the free market economy...

win 20 XMR X 5:  https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/764450.msg8615908#msg8615908- nothing to do with me

I wrote to a small exchange withUSD pairs based in Hong Kong. I'm not convinced with their security, but I've done some successful withdraws (EDIT: somewhat slow - 1-4 hours delays with manual confirmations from the admins). I wrote them mainly because of the XMR/USD pair they could add:

Dear Crypto-trade Team,
Last 3 months there is an unequal cryptocurrency on the market. It's called Monero (XMR) and it's different codebase and not a Bitcoin clone. It's using ring signatures and stealth addresses to achieve unlinkable and intractable transactions ant it's here to become the cryptocurrency of the future. If you research it you'll find that there is no other cryptocurrency to achieve even near to the privacy incorporated in the XMR protocol (excluding 80+% premine CryptoNight Bytecoin and also excluding other 6-7 proven scam projects of CryptoNight - see https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/740112.0). There is no premine or ninjamine and it's the fairest launch possible. From it's start it's always in the first 4-10 on trading volume from all the coins (see coinmarketcap) and it's here to stay. It's not a pump and dump coin and it have a huge amount of Bitcoin early adopters in it's community! It's traded on 6-7 altcoin exchanges, but there is still no exchange with XMR/USD pair. My opinion is that if you add it on your exchange it'll be an opportunity for you to be the first and get some volume (possibly more then all the shitcoins you are adding lately). The XMR community is convinced that adding it to an exchange is an exchange decision, so don't expect voting - it's up to you to take the opportunity.

Name: Monero (XMR)

Oh right, guess I missed the part where the other 6-7 were proven scam projects of 'cryptonight'
which is the proof-of-work function by the way...


I think if they weren't scrambling to add XMR already, you just won them over

Too much angst to trust with great wealth, perhaps.  Sell me your XMR.

Hah yeah. From the article it also seems that that miner dumped all the XMR to BTC and then USD. This will have had the effect of ensuring an even fairer distribution amongst those who weren't mining, unless it was just one person buying the whole lot up (which I seriously doubt).

The main concern with pre/instamines is that someone could be sitting on a significant % (30%+) of all the coins in circulation, which could completely crash the market and make the coin worthless should they decide to cash out. Which isn't even remotely the situation here.
