If as I predict XMR will reach the top 3 crypto currencies in 2018 it would have to have a market cap similar or greater to the Market Cap of XRP (ripple) at the moment of writing USD$86,629,637,881 If this is to come to pass the price of 1 XMR would rise to ~ $5559 USD (86,629,637,881USD divided by 15,582,824XMR) This is an increase of 5129USD Or, as a...

Reminder for maximalist Bitcoin HODLers One great reason to HODL Monero too is that Monero's codebase is 100% independent of Bitcoin's codebase If someone finds a huge bug in bitcoins code, it could affect a lot of other coins. But since Monero is a Cryptonote coin, it would not be affected. And while one might say that Monero is more risky because the code...

Looking at market cap, how are objectively hyped/trash coins like this higher than monero? Monero doesn't use PR/shill armies to promote itself. That stuff works. Something sounds interesting and has a pretty logo, people buy it. Crypto game ain't fair. Potential new users are clearly saying it's the lack of wallets holding them back from using Monero. Once...

2017 was the year of Bitcoin – but will 2018 be the year of Monero? While 2017 has undoubtedly been the year of Bitcoin, with prices skyrocketing tens of thousands of dollars, 2018 may have different surprises in store. What really made 2017 important for Bitcoin, is that it became a household name. Instead of being a niche, nerdy technology, it became something...

Stealth Addresses Stealth addresses is a method by which additional security can be granted to user of a cryptocurrency. For example, if Alice wanted to receive 5 tokens of a cryptocurrency from Bob as a payment for a job, but didn’t want anyone else to know about it, then she could send Bob a stealth address. When Bob sends the funds to Alice, a random unique...

I nvestors are taking profits in Bitcoin and re-allocating to Monero & Litecoin. Coinbase users have three choices of cryptocurrencies, and look to be re-allocating profits as opposed to converting back to traditional currencies. As cryptocurrencies further enter the mainstream, diversifying your holdings makes sense. Bitcoin futures begin trading on Sunday...

Monero's confidential transactions hide the amounts involved. To ensure that inputs and outputs balance properly in a way that can be verified by anyone, we use commitments that have useful algebraic...

The Bitcoin Flaw: Monero Rising By Izzy Otomakan cryptoizzy.blogspot.ca I recognize the irony that barely a few months after I shared The Power of Money: A Case for Bitcoin I am now releasing this piece - critical of Bitcoin. I wrote TPOM largely because I was fed up with people and institutions claiming Bitcoin was a fraud, ponzi scheme or bubble. It is none...

imagine if Internet service providers throttle access to cryptocurrency exchanges. Imagine if they let some investors buy faster services than others. It would lead to high-frequency trading, or what effectively amounts to a tax on investing in cryptocurrencies. In short, the loss of net neutrality could derail the entire momentum of cryptocurrencies. This is...
