Literally how is it not a superior store of value to BTC?

>>60633385 (OP)
It is but you’re just not supposed to say that because you’re supposed to spend it on dark net markets and buy drugs with it or something

$10000 soon

good morning sir

>>60633617
Ah I see, it's more for marketing? Makes sense but I think people will naturally spend it anyway because it fulfills a unique need unlike most of other cryptos,
>>60633621
I honestly don't see why even intelligent and well educated people (in non-tech topics) buy into the Saylor narrative of BTC being some great store of value that will make every other asset worthless simply because there are only 21M of unique non-fungible coins.

>>60633385 (OP)
People aren't good enough at math to understand the SoV narrative of Monero.

>>60633385 (OP)
it is but it's too hard to buy and sell for the average retard

It's the new bitcoin functionally since only autistic people and drug dealers are buying it and generally prefer it, but has the same problems of early bitcoin just worse. Higher regulatory scrutiny, lack of liquidity, and only autistic people/drug dealers know or care enough about it. What it needs, is new marketing and outreach. It just needs more eyes on it. We can't just be saying the same lines about it's value in our 4chan and twitter echo chambers. Tik tok bitches need to be on it. Podcasters. Big news pieces. Dedicated guerilla marketing in the real world. Without that, it wont have the needed attention on it that would save it from getting criminalized.

It is already criminalised in Korea, Japan and Australia. I used it in those places. Free men don't ask for permission.

>>60633944
It was on Tucker recently. Just like with BTC in the early days if the demand and marketing is organic it's good. But the "scariness" of it makes wash trading and pumping it with tether not an option for certain 'groups' so it's better than BTC in that regard. BTC 21M'ers that are not educated on tech but saw through the lies of the central bankers and other scam crypto might still not see it but that's likely changing too. Even among influencers you can see how the progression went from normies into BTC, then the tech guys from BTC into XMR (e.g. Luke Smith).

Based. There is also a great store for buying nip goods on xmrbazaar.

>Literally how is it not a superior store of value to BTC?
It is, which is why the price is fairly stable. Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, if it was actually a store of value or a currency it wouldn't be the price it is nor would people be saying it's going to go to gorillion dollars a coin. BTC gets LESS functional when the price goes up!

>>60633385 (OP)
I have a problem with the ASIC resistance.
That means the network is going to be super slow because there isn't enough computing power.
It's possible that it won't be scalable and it will just clog when lots of people use it?

>>60633385 (OP)
I think a privacy coin is the future I'm just not sure that it's going to be Monero.

>>60633944
okay, but how? what sort of narrative will be able to convince normalfags?

This is the only altcoin I think is worth investing in long-term. Monerofags in the xmr general sperg out if you talk about the price going up, but it still seems like the 2nd safest long-term bet in crypto just after Bitcoin.
It's often said that normies don't give a shit about privacy but that's not really true. Ask anyone you know to show you his credit card history, browser history, text messages and so on, and you'll see how much they really do give a shit. I also like Monero's fundamentals, it survived many delistings and even gained value since then, it solves a real problem and isn't even comparable to other coins in the same niche.
It involves extra steps to buy it, but the same is true for shitcoin rugpull coins and normies get into those all the time.
I can't think of any reason Monero should continue it's typical pattern of crabbing around $150-300 and I think in the event of a major crypto collapse it would be among the few survivors.

Go back to Blockchain school before having any more opinions.

I cannot believe the lengths normies go to to scam themselves.

>>60635474
didn't know it was mentioned on tucker
>>60636020
honestly a bunch of little things. I've seen people put stamps on money then put it in circulation. Maybe stickers and fliers out in the world. going into facebook groups and shilling it. Maybe some rich anons buy some billboards.

As far as the general narrative, I'm not sure really. It's really not the best narrative to tell people its the only coin you order drugs and avoid taxes with, that'll just make it easier to shut down. Yet, that functionality is really the main thing that set's it apart from the rest of the market. Idk, people really just want to make money they don't care about the privacy.

>>60638994
They do care about privacy, they just don’t (yet) realize that blockchain is generally a system to broadcast every transaction you make to the entire world.

Once that realization reaches critical mass, Monero will have its bitcoin moment

>>60636081
>>60639504
Normies are born liars. They lie constantly, including to themselves (so they can better lie to others) so they don't even actually know what they want. Normies would definitely like privacy. Ultimately though, they are cattle, and they won't decide whether Monero succeeds or not.

>Literally how is it not a superior store of value to BTC?
It's a greater store of private value and it's superior only for the private individual. It isn't great for global adoption because it's easy for the government to misuse.

BTC is great for banks, stock markets, and government transparency, XMR is for the individual. Therefore it will never have as much market cap as BTC. Simple as.
HODL both.

>>60636081
>Monerofags in the xmr general sperg out if you talk about the price going up
Because the whole point of the currency is to have an actual private way of transacting. That and Monero-chan is beautiful and makes us diamonds.

And frankly, as various governments and institutions ban it, the liquidity will increasingly deplete, harming price-action. It might still have a chance to go up over time, but why bother if you can just buy Bitcoin? Feel free to pick up some, store it in a private wallet, and forget about it for a decade, but don't expect any BTC-tier gains.

This is going to sound retarded, but something that Sam Hyde of all people said about this stuck with me, do watch the following video.

Just because the tech is infinitely superior doesn't mean it's a better investment. Use it to pay for a VPN or whatever.

>>60633385 (OP)
People don't know what it is yet, yes you're early

I have 139 and am accumulating every week. I believe smart money has been accumulating since delisting.
XMR has by far the most loyal and autistic community besides BTC, this shit is going to $10k this cycle.

2025, this is the only crypto that matters
