A mix is necessary.  I think it's pretty public knowledge that I've gone full retard on Cryptonote and 2/3rds of all my savings is in Monero and Aeon, with the other third in Bitcoin.  
  
My plan is to eventually add a small stake of Boolberry as well.  
  
So for me its do or die, but that also taints my words a little: people call me a shill because my financial future is intertwined with the success of cryptocurrency.  Even if I do have altruistic motivations, people can always say that I am 'not thinking clearly'.  That can be very frustrating.... I have a range of choices of where to place my chips and I am (and have been) missing out on some sweet sweet short money by not buying market puts.  
  
Why?  Not because I am trying to get rich quick, but because I've found that rare asset that I can believe in *and* invest in.  How often does that happen?  
  
Anyway, it's good to have both - people who are heavily vested in a projects success and those who are only academically interested.   Both bring their own brand of accreditation.  

There is a good chance that ETH will keep the #1 volume spot on Poloniex for the foreseeable future.

In order to help ensure XMR trading pairs (giving XMR better liquidity and visbility compared to when only BTC and LTC trading pairs were offered) continue long term, please use them when you can. Bid/Ask spreads will decrease with higher usage.

Instead of trading XMR for BTC and then BTC for LTC trade XMR for LTC

Instead of trading XMR for BTC and then BTC for BBR trade XMR for BBR

If the spreads are greater for the XMR trading pairs, use limit orders instead of market orders.

One way to support XMR, AEON and BBR at the same time is to use my advice above! Hopefully Poloniex will add Aeon soon.

A break above 0.001677 XBT and a break of the red trend line are essentially the same if it happens in the next couple of days. 

Key resistance level broken on volume:



Horizontal line is 167-168k satoshi.

Poloniex volume on 3 day chart 

Around 12k borrowed and subsequently dumped to short. Total offers signifcantly declining and rates shooting up. This could get interesting since there is some possible fuel now.

A new subreddit, I think the intention is to make it somewhat similiar to r/bitcoinmarkets:

First time I can remember seeing XMR and BTC rising at the same time.


Shows how much trust people have in BTER! )

Market is responding to some of Shen's work and ETH profits are flowing in for now to ride, but I personally think that a new base will come out of all this. We could see an end of the 0.001 era for good measure.

Shen has demonstrated not just an expertise in theoretical math and cryptography but is a rare gem in transforming it to practical cpp and py codes. That is a rare combo, very much like early Satoshi production timelines. Monero is in good hands.

Weird timing this happened just when I got a cash influx today.



He would never admit to it, Hey truecryptonaire you shorting?



Back to 24? 32?

I have no clue where it's going. My day back from the casino I get some good entertainment!
