XMR - Monero / BTC 27th October 2022 a red 2 candle has been painted on the weekly. Let's see where it closes at the end of the week. But this could be the beginning of the pull back.If this does get perfected, there could be another 7 weeks of downside. So, I am anticipating a bottom developing around the 12th December 2022, which is where the Ichimoku Cloud has flipped from red to green. And right at that point is the 0.005590 Satoshi's which is the area in which I will be placing my bids. Happy Sailing Privacy Pirates.

ARRR - Rough Seas Ahead Me Hearty's27th October 2022 ARRR me hearty's. ARRR has crossed below the 2000 Satoshi's. It is on a red TD 5 count on the weekly. Let's see how it closes out later this week. If the TD count is to be perfected, rough bottom could be hit around the 21st November 2022. It is currently in the OTE zone I have drawn, 1998 to 1918 Satoshi's. But going off the Bollinger Bandsit could get down to 1887, and a spike to 1692. It may not hit these targets on KuCoin, but could very welll do it on Trade Ogre. If it closes out the week below TD Support of 1956 Satoshi's, more head winds. Keep an eye out Pirates! The Bollinger Bands have squeezed, there will be rough seas ahead, ARRR. Squeeze Momentum is about to flip positive, Money Flow is still in the red but could be bottoming out, and the price/volume oscillator is still below the zero line and heading south. Batten down the hatches Pirates. Time to drink some rum, ARRR. Cheers, Snake Plissken

Zcash ZEC VS BTC Bitcoin - Altseason Breakout Strategy - PrivacyThe possible use cases are as numerous as with any Defi system. One example might be the ability to purchase an NFT using shielded ZEC, allowing the purchaser privacy by shielding onlookers from prior transactions and ZEC holdings. Another example use case might be the ability to loan ZEC for yield where the originator of the loan remains private. Does this mean ZEC is actively pursuing to become an IBC-compatible Cosmos Zone? On a similar note, KEEP Network is soon launching a NuCypher collaborative solution for tBTC v2. Considering Matt’s @mhluongo past activity in here, is there a tZEC solution that’s actively being researched/built at the moment?

Bottom Reversal for Zcash vs Ethereum: Rally back to 1:1A Next-Generation Smart Contract and Decentralized Application Platform Satoshi Nakamoto's development of Bitcoin in 2009 has often been hailed as a radical development in money and currency, being the first example of a digital asset which simultaneously has no backing or "intrinsic value" and no centralized issuer or controller. However, another, arguably more important, part of the Bitcoin experiment is the underlying blockchain technology as a tool of distributed consensus, and attention is rapidly starting to shift to this other aspect of Bitcoin. Commonly cited alternative applications of blockchain technology include using on-blockchain digital assets to represent custom currencies and financial instruments ("colored coins"), the ownership of an underlying physical device ("smart property"), non-fungible assets such as domain names ("Namecoin"), as well as more complex applications involving having digital assets being directly controlled by a piece of code implementing arbitrary rules ("smart contracts") or even blockchain-based "decentralized autonomous organizations" (DAOs). What Ethereum intends to provide is a blockchain with a built-in fully fledged Turing-complete programming language that can be used to create "contracts" that can be used to encode arbitrary state transition functions, allowing users to create any of the systems described above, as well as many others that we have not yet imagined, simply by writing up the logic in a few lines of code.

Zcash vs Bitcoin has Death Cross Impending or Mega RallyFoundational upgrade delivered without causing a network or market crisis. This is now a potential green-light for Zcash to continue to outperform against Bitcoin If the local levels are rejected during rally attempts (003500 and 004000 namely) then this will move much lower toward 002000 electriccoin.co Zcash Network Upgrade 5 (NU5) activated on mainnet today, May 31. It is the most important milestone for Zcash since the cryptocurrency launched in 2016 — and as our Electric Coin Co. (ECC) CEO Zooko Wilcox put it, “an historic step forward for human society.” NU5, the first major upgrade since November 2020, includes the launch of the Orchard shielded payment protocol, utilizing the Halo proving system to remove reliance on complex setup ceremonies. The efficiencies built into this upgrade make possible — for the first time ever — private, trustless digital cash payments on mobile phones. Halo also paves the way for increased interoperability by providing a system that could unlock private cross-chain proofs at scale.

Zcash ZEC Crisis Continues. Liquidity x Price StalledHalo is coming soon, but nobody cares, nobody knows, nobody has money to invest for Zcash Among the features included in the next Zcash network upgrade is Unified Addresses. The unified address (UA) is a future-proof Zcash address format that improves usability, increases the ease of interoperability, and supports shielding Zcash by default. In this post, we will explain the benefits of unified addresses, how they work and how they fit within the broader Zcash ecosystem. Background Zcash is always improving — implementing cutting-edge cryptography with secure, professional-grade code. As Zcash evolves, new value pools are introduced that offer better features and benefits. This was the case when Zcash upgraded from Sprout to Sapling, and it will be the case when Zcash upgrades from Sapling to Orchard. Multiple address types can negatively impact the user experience. They are not unique to Zcash; in fact, many protocols face this challenge, including Bitcoin. This is because certain protocol improvements (such as SegWit in Bitcoin) require a new address format. UAs make Zcash easier to use by removing the complexity of multiple address types. This simplifies the user experience — no more juggling addresses — and increases interoperability between shielded-only applications and transparent-only applications. If a wallet supports auto-shielding (a new feature included in Halo Arc), their users can be confident that their funds will be shielded by default and stored in the latest shielded pool. UAs will also make network upgrades easier because Zcash can iterate quickly without introducing new address types — solving a huge problem faced by many protocols today. The single-address standard will also advance use cases related to Layer 2, DeFi and interoperability, because it will be easier to build applications and tools for Zcash. What are UAs? Unified addresses are generated from a set of multiple Zcash address types (i.e., transparent, Sapling and Orchard). Think of unified addresses like a universal travel adapter that lets you plug into different sockets. They make it easy for wallets to migrate funds to the latest shielded pool while gradually deprecating older technology. With unified addresses, wallets will default to moving coins to the latest shielded pool supported by the wallet. These features, auto-migration and auto-shielding, are part of ECC’s Halo Arc product suite. With the upcoming Orchard upgrade, there will not be a stand-alone Orchard address. Instead, users will access the Orchard shielded pool through a unified address.

XMR/BTC - Previous Resistance Acting as SupportQuick Idea. "Monerun", or coordinated mass withdrawals, clearly hit exchanges where it hurt. Monero quickly began to outperform the market during the week of the event. A retrace is expected, although many thought we would surpass $300 before seeing it, hindsight is 20/20 and it's clear this IS the retrace. This could prove to be a great place to buy in if this previous resistance holds as support. Otherwise, I'd expect a move down to 0.0048. Considering we were < 0.004 at the beginning of the year, I think this all still within healthy bullish macro behavior and monero will end the year strongly.

XST STEALTH USD : 230x POTENTIAL SETUP, BULL FLAG! $2.80XST STEALTH looks really good in my opinion. This project hasn't not had much attention in the past couple of years but thats what usually happens, then they explode out of no where. XST still has a hard working team and has been active and busy even through the years where XST had little to no interest from the crypto community. They still are pushing on, upgrading, improving, and just working hard on a project they believe in. This one could be a hidden gem. Yes risk is high but reward is much higher in my opinion. Sometimes these project when they run up so fast like Stealth did in 2017, where it went from $.002 (1/5 of a penny) to $1.90 thats a rise of almost 1000x that is 100,000% rise in ONE YEAR! When this happens then a long drawn out correction is necessary and we are nearing the end of this correction in my opinion. What caused XST to climb 100,000% in one year? Obviously there was a reason and some serious interest in it to have that happen. The fundamentals are still there and they are still working, thats all I need to know that this project could absolutely take off again in the future. I'm loading up now cause I think the bottom is in. This is not financial advice this is just my opinion. I am also doing many more little hidden gems I have found that are nearing the end of their corrections, if you are interested follow me and check out the rest of them, and leave me a like and comment if you appreciate this content.. Thank you

Red-Line Zcash Pump June 1st or permanent Rekt Asset What are the economics of Zcash? Zcash's monetary base is the same as Bitcoin's — a fixed supply of 21 million Zcash currency units (ZEC). Every 75 seconds, a new block is mined to the Zcash blockchain and a block reward of 3.125 ZEC comes into circulation. The amount of the block reward cuts in half about every four years until all 21 million ZEC are in circulation. Zcash inflation almost precisely mimics that of Bitcoin. It’s important to note that as new coins are created inflation goes down, and at each halvening the rate drops significantly. As of the Canopy activation, 20% of the Zcash block reward is distributed to a Community Development Fund. For more information about distribution, see the Funding, Incentives, and Governance blog post. How can we determine the amount of ZEC in circulation within transparent and shielded pools? How does Zcash prevent counterfeiting? Zcash miners validate every on-chain transaction. Transactions that involve a shielded address (either sending or receiving) come with a zero-knowledge proof. The zero-knowledge proof ensures that the transaction doesn't violate the "conservation-of-money" rule (i.e. a proof that the money coming out of the transaction is less than or equal to the money going into the transaction). ECC uses Turnstiles as a method of auditing the monetary base in Zcash’s shielded pools. Is Zcash protected against quantum computers? Zcash is better-protected against future (hypothetical) quantum computers than almost any alternative, primarily due to the fact that Zcash addresses ("public keys") do not get posted on the blockchain. Scientists at the Electric Coin Co., and in academia, are actively researching postquantum-secure alternatives to any affected cryptographic components. Members of the community plan to monitor developments in postquantum-secure components, and if/when they are mature and practical, update the Zcash protocol to use them. What is a zero-knowledge proof? How does Zcash integrate it? Zero knowledge proofs are a scientific breakthrough in the field of cryptography: they allow you to prove that a statement is true without revealing the statement itself. Think about this example: if you want to prove you are old enough to drink alcohol, you generally have to show your ID card which reveals a lot of information about you beyond just your age. Your ID card can reveal your address, your face, your height - all of that has nothing to do with your age. A zero-knowledge proof could let you prove that you are old enough to enjoy a cold beer and only that. Zcash uses a particular type of zero-knowledge proof called zk-SNARKs (or "zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge"). These zk-SNARKs are used in any transactions that involve shielded addresses. Dive deeper into zk-SNARKs and how they work in Zcash on the explainer page. What mining algorithm does Zcash use? Zcash currently uses Equihash as the proof-of-work for block mining in Zcash. Equihash is a proof-of-work algorithm devised by Alex Biryukov and Dmitry Khovratovich. It is based on a computer science and cryptography concept called the Generalized Birthday Problem. As of May 2018, Zcash's Equihash parameters have been implemented in custom hardware ("ASIC") miners. ECC is closely monitoring the effectiveness of alternative consensus algorithms such as PoS and will continue to evaluate as part of our long-term roadmap to increase scalability and sustainability. What are the general characteristics of a Zcash block? Average block time: 1.25 minutes (75 seconds) Maximum block size: 2MB Block Reward: currently 6.25, 3.125 after November 18, 2020 Each 4 year period, the ZEC creation amount will halve (from 12.5 to 6.25 to 3.125 to 1.5625 and so on).

ETH whales cashing out to XMR? Record XMR/ETH Volume on Binance!Interesting data. This pair has been bleeding for months and suddenly it rebounds with some SERIOUS volume! I haven't seen anything like this. This is a great sign for Monero I think. A lot of people made a LOT of money off of Ethereum the past couple years. Naturally, when you make money your next goal (after the hookers/cocaine honeymoon period wears off) is to ensure wealth preservation and protection. In the cryptospace, there is no other asset focusing on user protection as much as monero. I haven't traded any ETH for XMR (because I have very little ETH and I hold XMR already) but I will come back here to check in on this ratio perhaps.

Top pick 2/3 - XMRThe reasons because I took a decent position in Monero are the following: 1 never before in history has privacy been under attack globally 2 people need privacy not only if they are evil (they need it especially if they are good intentioned ;o) 3 monero has some interesting protocol upgrade coming, that will make it more private and more scalable 4 xmr has been in a bear market more than 4 years against bitcoin and it has just broken out against it 5 i am mostly invested in "legally compliant" and transparent projects and consider monero as a hedge against them As I just stated, XMR has recently broken the 4 year descending resistance and is just sitting on it (now support) after having back tested strongly. (since my last post a month ago XMR is already up 50 USD (or 30%). MACD is turning positive on the monthly time frame. Holders sentiment is extreemely depressed and flat, which is what I want. You want to invest before or right at the moment of uptick on the awarness side. MONERO has just undergone a period of 2 years of sideways action, just like between 2014 and 2016 (rectangles defined by yellow horizontal support and resistance). The pattern is very similar... ...and if history rhymes this should meen a 11 x against Bitcoin alone. That is, if Bitcoin does a 5 x from here ... XMR would do a 55 x ... or a price of around 12'000 USD.
