Can someone explain a brainlet why a coin like XMR, that has seen lots of continous improvements i.e. bulletproofs, anti ASIC algorithm etc. and actually used as a currency keeps losing value compared to a static BTC?

I understand that they’re linked together, but in such case shouldnt their respective price ratio remain the same at least? Why does XMR fall more than BTC?

asic resistance is a meme that often doesn't account for the fact that a group of miners could break a coin's asic resistance and hold a ridiculous amount of (fake, but real to the network) hashing power that gives them an enormous advantage over 99% of miners, which is the exact outcome that implementing asic resistance is supposed to prevent in the first place

>> No.11814830

because developers, users, companies all want to use bitcoin, and want to make bitcoin work, through changes in the law, developing the bitcoin protocol, or developing around it, through exchanges, or second/side layers.

monero while special in that its one of the very few alts that matter, has none of that, the community is microscopic in comparison, and the development community around it is just as small. then there are the people that see the way things are going, and realize that second layers being the primary and for some only way of moving btc around strips monero of it's only key benefit to bitcoin.

in other words, bitcoin "maximalism" isn't a cult, its simply the perspective of anyone that isn't just blindly speculating on alts.

>> No.11814904

monero probably has the most trustworthy shadycoin characteristics but to get full use out of it I have to download the entire chain?
on top of that it's complexity adds more data per tx than normal chains and I don't think it can scale
the GPU miners are a cool niche but not sustainable
I like the coin it's my 2nd favorite behind bitcoin but I don't think it has that ability to be widely adopted

HAHAHAHA!!
Dude its a fucking cult. Its driven by low IQ pajeets and chinese scam artists. Bitcoin itself is highly overvalued right now in that its core technology has not aged very well in a market where something like XRP/XLM/EOS can dominate. All of these examples are node based, trustless enough to be effective and can scale to world wide use.

I hate to inform you that, your money is probably gone forever.

> if you actually believe any of those centralized tokens could ever become a dominant form of value

What will happen is, coins with actual use cases will continue to flood the market and make it very hard for the volatility we experienced in the past to continue. You wont be able to incite the fomo that caused the bull run of 2017 when you have 10 coins in the top 20 that scale, have killer dapps and have good enough decentrality to get the job done. Its the pin prick that ultimately will deflate the market.

You will have games and social media in the next gen. You will have 3 second transactions in the next gen. You will have stable coins in the next gen. Normies will look at Bitcoin like the model T compared to a 2020 Lambo.

You are fucking done. Your money is fucking GONE. Its never coming back.

>your money is gone
im sitting on eight figures at these prices, i think my money is just fine. again, not everybody was some worthless late adopter.

dont confuse speculative shitcoins as ever having any value, even if the tech does. bitcoin is never going anywhere, to think that its going to be replaced by some failed project like eos, or a pointless centralized network like stellar, or even a centralized token like xrp, which only has a currently failing company like ripple behind it, is just embarrassing.

>im sitting on eight figures at these prices, i think my money is just fine. again, not everybody was some worthless late adopter.

Your money is still gone, you know that right? You might be sitting on a decent stack but nothing is going to change the fact that use case coins are going to make it far harder to sell Bitcoin to most people.

> dont confuse speculative shitcoins as ever having any value

You are just going to haveto chill out. Take a deep breath. Maybe go outside. Take a shit.

Look into my fucking eyes, if XRP is the number 2 coin, bitcoin is fucked long term. You will never fucking see the same fomo for a POW shitcoin like BTC ever again. You rode the roller coaster and its over, if you didn't sell the top then that is that.

> to think that its going to be replaced by some failed project like eos

If you think EOS is a failed project then this thread is going to be hilarious to come back to in a year. The only problem is, use cases don't make coins go up in value that much. FOMO is the only thing that can make prices shoot up.

When you have 10 coins with like 20 major dapps that normies begin using, the market will NOT EVER GO BACK to your rose colored fucking past.. Nobody will ever FOMO into bitcoin EVER AGAIN.

Unlike Bitcoin, Monero has a reason to exist at least in theory. But its use case is that you can use it to hide past transactions. There is no reason to really buy and hold the coin outside of that.

Because fundamentals have absolutely nothing to do with price action. Everything in a speculative market is hype and that's it. Fundamentals don't matter in bubbles caused by hype.

This is the same reason that shitty penny stocks on the verge of bankruptcy are able to pump 10x in a single day. Nothing to do with the underlying tech. Don't buy coins that "have good underlying tech" because that doesn't mean their price will go up.

The only thing you need for price to go up is people buying. That's it.
