This, with capital T H I & S.

Btc-e or bitfinex. A serious project deserves a serious exchange.

Bitfinex would seriously come as a blessing right now. I agree with you on the bolded part, latest price movements just seem a bit unnaturel.

Smooth, please allow some light hearted trolling in the thread. Can't be all serious in the Monero thread?
mrkavasaki and TrueCryptonaire bring so much value to this thread.jk

You don't need a tinfoil hat to realize that pretty much every time there's volatility or significant movement in XMR's price, some kind of major disruption/panic occurs to thwart it. Every single time.

 
 
It's crazy to think about...  It sounds quite unfair, but I can't find any good reason why it won't be true:  we are going to buy as much Monero as possible right now and hold onto it (no margin games), and in ten years we are going to be obscenely wealthy. 
 
All we can do is try to build and work with the technology, help new users, and vow to be responsible stewards of a great amount of wealth. 
 
I know I get euphoric sometimes, but honestly even if I never said a word it would still happen...  This thing is a beast that isn't past its tipping point yet, but once it reaches a certain 'critical mass' then I don't believe it's growth will be stoppable.

Markets are the ultimate contrarians; when everybody expects XMR's price to increase (irrational exuberance) it will always go down.

This is counter-intuitive, probably because our mammal monkey brains are not wired for Baysian filtering, and thus don't properly discount spammy price-hyping bias confirmations.

The new ability to short XMR acts to price in future emission and thus flatten demand peaks, sometimes to the point of trend-breaking technical damage.

In the longer term, this effect will be mitigated by the countervailing fact that XMR lending is removing tens of thousands of coins from the sell side, and by the inevitable short squeezes.

TL;DR:  Dear Mr. XMR Dumper, please borrow and dump moar XMR.  They still are seem too expensive for my cheapskate early-adopting ass to nobble and HLOD.

I dont know what is about Monero holders,  they alll seem to exhibit this strange sense of fanatical, zealous self-assuredness of it's undeniable superiority which just comes across a little to jehovas' witnessy to me. It's like watching a late night infomercial or reading one of these ebook self-improvement pitches..in this thread it's always laughing at the fools who dump.. (haha, nervous laughter) personally I dumped and brought back lower successfully many more times than I've been burned trying it so don't personally feel too much like a fool. Also everything is apparently an orchestrated attack against monero to keep it down.. THEY are trying and hold back this torrential waterfall that will be the monero success story.. The powers that be and the haters are pulling out every stop to contain this raging monero beast.. Yawn   

there is this unrelenting undercurrent being broadcast here that yes, buying and hodling a pithy amount of this bytecoin fork will allow you to buy a private island in Belize in 2-5 years. If you buy you will become soon the new wealthy elite, gentlement.. And yes you may not be able to find a single solitary purpose to holding this "currency" aside from buying a fleet of gulfstreams and a lifetime ski resort pass as there is not yet a single scrap of merchant adoption despite a year since inception and almost half fully mined.. but don't let that stop those like americanpegasus and rpietila who have nest-eggs overflowing with monero into encouraging you to gorge yourself on as much "cheap" xmr as possible. how many times we heard that before?

 with anonymity this currencies chief tenet (at this time quite a weak attraction as pretty much the only place to trade it- poloniex spectacularly  un-anonymous,  it's current sky-high inflation and many large holders concentrating wealth it doesn't seem anywhere near as groundbreaking as it's chief proponents try and insinuate.

I'm also sick of seeing this monero thread bumped to the front page of the altcoin discussion page by the same few posters. At last it's slightly more bearable than the 15 different monero threads but still almost every other altcoin sticks to the less trafficed altcoin announcement page

Stills this forum in inevitable to get those to hear about Monero, who still didn´t. The GetMonero Forum is more like the Inner Circle for those people that did. BCT is like the Social Media Platform for Cryptos.

I have asked the devs to abandon development, the holders to sell all their coins, the posters to cease posting to this thread, and the community to quit thinking that the coin could have even a microscopic chance to change the world.

No avail.

I said that it is doomed but I did not see any fucks given
