This is not true at all, why would you think such a thing? Or did you just make that up because it sounded cool? With that being said all crypto will have to hard fork new encryption eventually and Monero Crypto is far safer than BTC so BTC will have to do it first therefor when it is indeed needed then it will be no surprise and should not effect XMR at all.



The Dash issue is quite a big deal. Unprecedented. I am surprised the price has held up.  

All focus is on crazy speculation in the frothier cryptos atm, and people haven't yet woken up to the real issues. The re-ratings will come in due course.

LMAO @ Dashtard fail, Of course I can't short it because I'm all in on an ETH short that ia squeezing the shit out of me. So many bad choices this last week.
Do you have a good link on Octopus?



Fiat for the moment would be my guess, try to hit a btc high point. I'm still convinced this is still in a bubble state and is not BTC floor. But I would guess the floor is not as low as most are calling it.

Here in the US software is protected by the freedom of speech, so theoretically Monero couldn't be banned here in the US (it's also allowed to skirt some laws because it's not a "real" currency but a digital asset). -- As for China I have no idea, although I can probably guess they'd ban it if it were to start get in their way (although that isn't to say that it would actually stop the Chinese from using it).

The next one on my list is Bitcoin.

How am I going to find out crypto is banned, I have government on "ignore"

"We are gonna need a bigger prison system"

There is somewhere between a 99 and 101 percent chance that monero will be illegal someday. Plan accordingly. The good news is none of us have any monero. We all lost it in our boating accidents.

No need for them to do that, they will just control the entry and exit points to fiat, e.g. the exchanges. Making it illegal wouldn't be in their interest, it would make it even harder to control, and basically advertise for it. It could still be traded on decentralised exchanges.

It's much more likely that they will enforce people to declare all crypto tradings than to straight outlaw a crypto.

But why would I bring Monero onto my boat, it doesn't have the same stabilizing effect as storing my gold there?

I think for Monero the more common risk is theft, fires and floods at your Estonian mansion.

Back on topic ladies and gentlemen 

My crystal Ball is broken the last six months, sorry. Be careful with litecoin it is a mostly held chinese coin with some monster bag holders.They played HUGE and I mean Trump HUGE (lol) ponzie schemes with LTC until I believe it was banned. I guess Ponzies are legal in china or some such thing.

Ripple of course is centralized and controlled P&D's and they seem to be carefully building MC after their scam Cap creation.

ETC may someday take over if ETH's Centralization or just plain incompetent Dev team tanks it.

So boys...

What's it gonna be a slow drift down to ~0.02/~100usd or another correcting spike up to ~0.05/~250usd?


We will get to 0.05 eventually of course, but this year or next year is the question.
