Monero used to be #3 - undervalued

Dark markets have been decimated in the last couple of years. Even so, it was like 97% BTC. Monerjuo wallet has a xmr.to service which allows you to convert XMR to BTC when you transact so a lot of people were actually using XMR instead of mixing BTC which takes time, costs money and you are taking risk. In addition to transactions, I think the bigger use case is a crypto Swiss Bank account of sorts to hide your money.

I think at the very least Monero ends up getting banned in exchanges at some point. This might make it take a huge hit in price but eventually it'll only add to it's legitimacy.

I think a lot of Monero adoption will come down to how much people will interact with crypto directly. The general consensus is that crypto is too technical for the normie. But things change in a generation. I am an old fag and I remember teaching people to point and click to open up Windows and browser the internet, upload pictures, etc. It was painful. I also travelled to 3rd world countries where my dad said they'll never use cell phones because they don't have the infrastructure and people are too stupid. Now poor kids all over the world are running smartphones or poor fags are eliminating the middleman in poor countries just using cellphones. Even if mainstream adoption doesn't come, all it takes is a small percentage of technically literate people to realize the value of a digital Swiss bank account -- and I think that will happen.

If that dire quality of "girl" is what monero hodlers choose then im out.

KMD will provide atomic swaps

Dark markets are alive and well, and many of them use Monero. Probably at least 30-50%. Check out dark.fail sometime

Thanks user. I really haven't used the markets the last couple of years. Used AlphaBay in 2015 and 2016. Then Dream in 2017. Nothing really since then. Those were huge and even when XMR was supported it was mostly Bitcoin. But I saw a big change in vendors accepting XMR in Dream compared to AlphaBay until they removed XMR.

I am familiar with some of these and the avengers forum. I'll check them out.

Empire market is the current go-to, they are excellent with their support of XMR. From what I hear at least

>pawg
photoshopped ass white girl?

no they dont 93% btc 6% ltc 1%rest including KING OF PRIVACY MONERO

kek

Lots of used to bes in this market op monero will keep going down

Stay away from this coin. Does nothing but bleed in sats because there are backwoods all over the place. Buy if you want to lose money and potentially be arrested

Monero is actually being used by darkweb users. Niggers just prefer BTC because its the main crypto.

EVERYTHING has bled sats and lost value in ratio to Bitcoin. If you look at the June 2017 BTC was $2,500, ETH was $370, XRP was $0.30, LTC was $46, XMR was $49, DASH as $190, IOTA was $0.40, ZCASH was $376, etc..... Hell LTC was $50 in 2013.

Once a coin rises and gains value, it generally bleeds to eternity against BTC unless it can show actual value and utility. You hold coins like ETH and XMR because long term, you are speculating that there actual utility and a use case for it.

dark markets went down exactly likely BECAUSE they used btc and not monero.

Isn't Monero the only coin that's "anonymous?" If I had more money I'd be accumulating this and LINK.

Monero is one of the only coins that I think has a legitimate usecase but I don't see why its value would go up significantly. Its main purpose is to perform illegal transactions on the darkweb, it'll never see mainstream adoption. The average person barely has a need for crypto and an even lower need for privacy crypto.

I bought Monero so I can get free drugs

Let me explain: it already hit like $500 and its low af rn. So I put in $1000 a few days ago and I was gonna buy some free weed when it hits $1000.

Just because I use drugs doesn't make me a retard I know math

That makes it a good hold for funds though.

Like it was already half way there! It's hitting $1000

Theres people rn who mined this shit and can get FREE DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont miss out. I'm telling you...you're gonna feel like a retard

READ this whole article and replace Monero with Bitcoin

> Thirty years ago, we had several means of making transactions anonymously, without governments knowing about therm. For small sums, cash was almost completely anonymous, although numbered bills always gave police departments the chance to trace transactions in large criminal cases. For larger amounts, there were a wide range of banking jurisdictions offering anonymity and complete respectability to those seeking a safe bolt-hole for their cash ...

> This was no doubt convenient for Third World dictators, terrorists and the international Mafia, but it is also essential for ordinary citizens, for one very good reason: governments cannot be trusted. They always seek to expand their control and income, and they will generally give way to temptation if it is presented to them, even fleetingly. The extreme example, of course, is that of the Jewish inhabitants of inter-war Germany who had the foresight to hold a Swiss bank account; if they were able to escape when the Nazis came to power, as many were, their Swiss bank accounts were essential to being able to re-start their lives in a safe country.

> Yes, those unfortunates who did not manage to escape and did not tell their non-German families about the Swiss bank account provided an unexpected bonus for the Swiss banks, but contrary to public hysteria when this was revealed; this did not make the Swiss banks collaborators with the Nazis. It made them diligent service providers whose diligence could not solve all their clients’ problems, just the financial ones. But against governments less insane than the Third Reich, financial defenses are often the ones you need most.

it's already banned in Japan.. I should have sold right after that but at least I got mostly into eth instead

Wtf is this shit hahahah.

No btc mixers working as intended they went down because some retards left they fb profiles all over it kek

>it's already banned in Japan
True. oracletimes.com/japans-coincheck-removes-monero-and-other-privacy-coins-on-fsa-ban/
Still active in Korea, though. Nonetheless, decentralized exchanges with atomic swaps are the future. There are some that support Monero like OpenLedger

What is the best monero wallet? Looking to get my stack off Poloniex and my ledger doesn't support XMR

The thing is that I, and most people, are looking to increase capital, not secure it.

Right now, Monero works as intended (I assume). Most coins are enticing because they aren't "finished" yet and people believe that when they're finished then the price will boost dramatically. But Monero is "finished" and its price is what it is.

If you’re based, your top two holdings are
1) BTC
2) XMR

And this is how you lose it all folks

The problem with Monero is that it is too good - will never be accepted by the kosher monopolies and that it has no infrastructure like Dash, no atms, no fast food acceptance in venezuela etc

I hold both, btw, but mainly Litecoin.

any onion links?

there's mymonero for newbs, or if you download the monero gui it's a wallet and miner all in one

Fucking hell I am surrounded by absolute new-fucking-fags.

is greenroad compromised?

if all exchanges refuse to trade it, and the gov makes all transactions with it outlawed, it does become "illegal"

monero has no future because of Ernst & Young's Nightfall and EIP 1829

This is the special kind of Jow Forumslet I was referring to. I know you meant to write "backdoors" but Monero has zero backdoors because it's completely trustless and open source. Don't believe me? Just check the code. Monero requires you to trust nobody which is precisely why it works. I can't believe I have to explain this shit. Monero will bleed in sats until it doesn't.
BTC mixing is fucking bullshit. Any serious chain analysis group that's motivated enough will be able to break a centralized mixing service.
The reason bitcoin boomed in the first place was because it was thought to hold value as a means of exchange as a form of digital cash, not because it was friendly for regulators. It just so happens bitcoin isn't really private.
Trusted setup garbage.

>Trusted setup garbage.
it's not a problem because of multi party generation.
Monero anonymity is horrible, only zk-snarks truly work.
Even worse, monero can be deanonymized completely by quantum computers, while zk-snark anonymity constructions are inherently resistant to that.

100x this

the eyes are a cool novelty desu

They're literally fake.

Bitcoin is haram, user. You will never see your 72 virgins this way.

there's more utility and use cases for ETH than XMR.

dont talk w zcash shills even peter todd said theres no MPC trusted setup proof and zooko tweet literally is kys.png

XMR will never be used by anyone but cybercriminals (this excludes deepweb), people on deepweb are just normie npcs that read or watch some 10min tutorial and buy off coinbase then send $10-50 to themselves and dont even use PGP, their brains are just too dumb to figure even how BTC works, let alone figuring how XMR works. sorry but this coins entire market value is determined by russian mafia and cybercriminal kingpins. if you are not in either of those grps u have no need for XMR.

STOP TALKING ABOUT XMR TILL 2021 PLS

You sir are a fucking moron. There is secrete code that in placed into the viewable code which fluffy pony and co released. Also I don’t want to have the FBI knocking at my door for buying a terrorist coin with USD

Lol, like drugs? Loooooooool!!!

They'd have to eliminate all cash and precious metals.

Secret code in an algorithm?

Guarda supports it

shhhhhhh

>it's not a problem because of multi party generation.
>Just trust the parties, bro.
No. zk-snarks space math is way more vulnerable than Monero's cryptography which has been around for decades and has proven itself over time to be a reliable form of zero knowledge proofs. It's much more likely that zk-snarks have some fundamental flaw (other than the trusted setup) that could be discovered in the future than quantum computers unraveling Monero's encryption in our fucking lifetimes. If you're worried about quantum computers breaking Monero get back to me in 400 years. Also, the optional privacy on coins like Zcash leave themselves vulnerable to temporal analysis because so few people use ztransactions that when they are made they stick out like a sore thumb.
>dont talk w zcash shills
I know. I should know better.
>sorry but this coins entire market value is determined by russian mafia and cybercriminal kingpins.
This is why I'm bullish on it.
>There is secrete code that in placed into the viewable code which fluffy pony and co released.
Take your meds.

too bad xmr has no reason to increase in value. you wash your coins with it and thats it.

People said the same EXACT thing about bitcoin years ago.
>you just use it to wash your cash
Speculators gonna speculate.

Nice FUD, brainlet.
