First bold: They don't hold because that could drive prices up. You drive prices up you incentivize more mining, or ( gasp ) the development of ASICS and dilute your own hashrate.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I would guess they will start holding at some tipping point in the emissions curve.
One way to address this is to increase the efficiency of GPU mining. I've been trying to organize a bounty to this end - the only GPU miners for Monero are over a year old at this point, with no publicly available advancements. If you want to see the network hashrate increase, decrease the amount of Monero funneling to network operators, increase the amount of monero going to miners that have overhead (the ones that are more likely to hold), and subsequently drive the price up - you should contribute to this bounty. Its not like these efforts would decrease the profits of the network operators (due to the possibility of price increases)
Yes, I've noticed and applaud your efforts but doubt there will be substantial gains found again. AFA donating, I have not held XMR for months, I stated when I sold and broke even and have not decided when if ever to enter again. As has been stated a few posts earlier "Not buying or selling at this timeis an option". I continue to monitor this thread as I like the coins goals and respect the Devs. I'm sure I'll buy in again but not like last time just for "Fuck you BCX" reasons.
