I have been looking into this for a while now, built a small position with DCA at around 120$, so far invested a small portion of my alotted funds, looking to get fully invested, just trying to make sure i DCA as low as possible before strapping in for the next 5 years. This will be my only coin ( only owned bitcoin before - 2013 to 2016 but was too poor to invest enough to make it). So do you guys think we will see 50-60 $ again?

I know that anything below double digits is a steal ( in 2013 i specifically waited for sub 100$ on Bitcoin), but i need some advice on price point.

Saw it another thread :
"Monero is a currency that is meant to be used for transactions why would u ever spend monero if it was a speculative asset? Basically same issue bitcoin had before it was rebranded as a store of value. Since monero actually works, I don’t see how it will drastically rise in price it is not a speculative asset, it will fluctuate with the market relatively but it will never be a market leader, as seen in the last bull run where it underperformed compared to almost everything else."

Can someone debunk this? It makes sense to me.

I'm not super sure about their logic, which is basically that 1) store of value is the only legit use case for crypto and 2) xmr will moon because BTC did and XMR has replaced BTC for drug sales

kinda iffy in my view

>> No.11004842

>>11004545
Store of value is the most convincing thesis thus far for the fund mangers. Even if they allocate a small percentage of their investment portfolios to btc it helps REDUCE overall volatility while increasing returns. Over time most managers will include btc in some percentage in their investment portfolios. Especially once the big players start offering btc their clients. Hell, I'd even argue they a legal duty to do so in the future (i'm a litigation attorney).

As for the drug trade, it's no doubt a market. Marijuana is america's largest cash crop. The drug war has decimated mexico a nation of 70 million, and made drug lords into billionaires. That's just low hanging fruit. More importantly, you can't underestimate the offshore industry. There's millionaires and billionaires all over the world looking to secretly store and move funds, and entire financial firms and law firms in jursidictions around the world dedicated to providing these services.

>> No.11004866

>>11004842
I'm not arguing that XMR has no value, I'm just suggesting that I don't necessarily buy their compound logic. For one thing, XMR doesn't have to maintain a certain valuation to serve its purpose--it can simply serve as an intermediary, similar to Paypal, and that doesn't necessitate that the price increase or even stay where it is now

>> No.11004943

>>11004866
Yes that's very much possible. But it's also just as likely that once converted into Monero they'd choose to keep a small portion in Monero as the ultimate hedge with full custody rights. HNWI, nefarious businessmen, and drug lords have a proclivity for control.

Monero will never moon like BTC did last winter. As soon as it starts rising over 400$ (if ever), news will be talking about how this "crypto coin that is mainly used for criminal activity is gaining value" - normies will never get close to it because they have no idea how any of this works - this includes billionaires who are also normies. The real money in Monero always was and will always be in mining. Get ready to buy GPUs, I heard Vega 64s are sold below 500$.

valve already tried btc on steam and they stopped that. i think newegg axed btc too but im not sure.

if even valve and newegg dont want to deal with btc why would amazon or best buy?

cryptocurrencies are just too volatile for vendors to want to accept it as a form of payment, since after the payment is processed they could lose a lot of money on the sale.

if anything, big companies will be hedging in gold and silver and accepting fiat currency.

Not really. As it stands. Unmixed monero is about 80% hidden. Since it’s based on ring signatures it wouldn’t just unwind 1 tx but rather cause a ripple effect. This can be mitigated in moneros side by increasing mixins, which is happening. And having more potential mixins thatbare recent. So as it grows it will get more secure

This guy gets it. If you understand Monero you know it will Never be used as a practical day-to-day spending currency. Too slow/too expensive/too unintuitive/too much drug stigma from normies.

What Monero WILL be used for is black market transactions and anonymous wealth storage. These are both huge markets with proven interest in crypto and currently nothing can touch Monero regarding utility and security in these fields. Dash/zcash have good tech but are run by pussies who have said they will cooperate with law enforcement and only have optional privacy. There are various small-market cap coins whose tech equals Monero but nobody knows about them and they are untested. Until quantum computing comes about Monero has I would argue the most proven utility of any cryptocurrency. I’m only invested in other coins for quick moon missions Monero is the final destination for all my crypto wealth.
