No, you're not the only one.

mrkavaski too

just ask him you goddamned muppet

I think it is unwise to taunt cryptsy for  being a little late to the Monero party.  Whether you like them or not they are a serious player in the altcoin scene.  I for one am thankful they have decided (evidently)to finally add Monero.  I will trade there in appreciation of their coming on board.  And I'd urge you to stay classy.

As to eth.

What a boon for our beloved little Monero.   That we are the number TWO coin at Poloniex is actually a positive thing at least for a while.    I think we are seeing lots of new blood at Poloniex because of eth, and some of those new folks will look at the other major coin at the exchange.   This is not spin.  It's just a blessing in disguise.

BTC-E is "a serious player in the altcoin scene."  CrapSea is only a serious player in the shitcoin alt-scam scene, and now it's too late to change that.

Was CrapSea accepting bribes for a year to add Monero while doing nothing "classy?"

We do not forgive.  We do not forget.  We are Mustangs.  Expect us.   

Would greater value invite greater incentive to steal said value?

Does ETH's magnitude-higher volume suggest a greater amount of crypto held in hot wallets?
idk, maybe it could turn out that some ETH hack too soon causes Poloniex to fold under excessive liability (unlikely, I know, but could the possibility exist?)

Also, could sophisticated finance that is more likely accompanying ETH trading leak into XMR trading and usurp control of the market, skimming outsider traders?

I have no idea.

Edit: Here's a maybe more tangibly plausible scenario. Could sudden increase in ETH traders increase overhead costs like account verification, support, etc. to cause an increase in fees to pay for overhead (if overhead costs from a flux of new accounts is greater than what current volumes and the fee schedule can provide)?

Another: could increase in workload from ETH overstress Tristan too much to the point of detriment? I suggest this because I just talked to him yesterday and he mentioned he's been insanely busy. I wished him that everyday is a day closer to an autonomous Poloniex.

IMHO atm we see TC and risto playing with each other

TC seems to have a margin buy order (14k again ) and most bids seems to be from risto's market making bot.

very interesting atm

Yeah the analysis has been pretty spot on in general, I didn't get to buy much right down on the lower trendline as I had most my bids at .0022-.00235 as I stated when I thought it was toppy around 0.0026 ish. Remember .00235 ish was the 61.8 fib. At least where I thought the fib was most appropriate (one problem with fibs as its very subjective as to where they run to and from mine was from 0.00205 on aug 3rd as that where the big move really started). For me then this was a 100% retracement which I admit I wasn't expecting. I definately think the ETH hype aided in the size of the retracement though.

For now then Im obviously just waiting to see if we make new highs otherwise this could be considered a fakeout and could show a double top from the mid may 0.0026 highs.

sounds legit.  could take a while.  or a whale. in the near term i expect to do a lot better on spx derivatives (weakly bearish) and wheat (moderately bullish).  i seem to be magic lately.  time to reduce risk, therefore.

FUCK CRAPTSY! They can suck my ball sweat. I watched them manipulate deposits and withdrawals while they used those coins to P&D. anyone that wants in on that shit site is either already all in and looking to dump at a profit or is ill informed.

That whole crew is a bunch of theifs, a shitstain on this scene.

Maybe I should say what I really feel?
