Time will tell, but I think the xmr-chart looks much nicer

Basically...

@Duomo, cAPSLOCK is definitely referring to primer~, not you.

Read his post again. cAPSLOCK is trying to tell you to ignore primer~ as primer~ is full of shit. There is no sarcasm.

If you check primer~ post history, I think you will also agree with cAPSLOCK's statement.

The best thing to do is to put primer~ on ignore, as most people have already done.

My post had nothing to do with you it was aimed at our beloved primer- as that was who you were talking about.

I generally regret paying any attention to primer...  Seems it is even so by proxy, lol.

This is funny. When the price goes up everyone starts wondering why and what is making it go up. If you are a real supporter of Monero the price does not matter. If you are a speculator of XMR the only thing that will matter is how high the price will go up and how much you will make in the trade. The people asking why and what is making it go up are maybe the ones who have not bought yet or is not sure if he did the right thing.

Well ofc price always matters Even if i've supported monero from the day i heard about(and will keep supporting as long as it's valid) it i'm still an investor seeking profits at the same time. Speculation and reasoning is a natural part of it just like this thread SPECULATION has +1000 pages on it.

Wow, so much pitty-pat.

Bitwa.la monero support! Yes!  Now anyone in Europe - at least - do they allow North American customers?  I will try to sign up - can buy sell spend or accept monero online and in shops.  That is truly huge, and previously a point of disadvantage, now removed.  Of course those and are tracked, but it is still a huge boost for privacy so long as you control the interfaces, and can connect directly to foreign addresses.  A month from now, that may be the dominant fiat exchange interface.

I still think the upward pressure is dominant until closer to the 1 September event.  Buy rumor, sell news.  It is a very powerful rule of thumb, and explains much of the naively paradoxical event response curves of open-market securities.  To ignore that rule of thumb, I require powerful reasons, which are lacking here.

Longer term, I expect more exchanges to support Monero, and both fiat and crypto will be flowing in to actually use the stuff, on a scale of weeks and months.   In as little as 3 years, in an optimistic but feasible case,  Monero has a chance to be the dominant cryptocurrency world-wide, in which case the price should exceed bitcoin significantly.  "Optimistic but feasible" means probability between 0.1 and 10%.  My SWAG estimate is 2%.  Bitcoin pioneered this path, and it is easier to follow now. 

Yes. In addition, you can follow this guide:

It's a good rule of thumb, but in this situation,  isn't the news already out for days? That XMR gets adopted by DNMs isn't a rumor anymore.  Or are you talking about something other than DN adoption of XMR that will be revealed on September 1st?
