$XMR is the next Dino to run. I think this guy is telling us to sell everything and go all in on Monero
No, if you want to buy XMR with a dex, it's called reto-swap. It's a fork of BISQ. Very nice and easy to use.
Shit like this is why I’m so bullish on XMR
Good call, for sure. I think if you look up the three I mentioned and whatever is upvoted here, you’ll have a good understanding for when you start. And you can start with $5 a week/month and watch what happens to it. Stick with the big ones: Coinbase, Binance (or binance.us if in the States), and Kraken (easy domestic option for XMR). If they shut XMR out of Kraken, which will happen because it threatens their control, you’ll have to get a bit more technical and P2P, but like mutual aid after end-stage capitalism, it is what will live on. Okay, I’ve blabbed enough. If you get an account on one of these, respond here (don’t PM about crypto with anyone or they are scamming you), and I’ll send you something to start.
I see, thank you that was informative I'll defo look up XMR
I was trying not to talk specifics, but here we go. Reminder, don’t trust me or anyone on the Internet. I see success among coins which are necessary. BTC is necessary now because rich people and nation-states hold a lot of it, and maybe you can send a lot of it overseas without being drained by fees, but many tokens accomplish this. Otherwise, crypto has little value over fiat currency. What else is necessary? Are decentralized ledgers more cost-effective, secure, or swift for corporate use? If so, then it will continue to thrive. I submit I haven’t seen many corporations replacing their bespoke, centralized ledgers which rank highly on all three metrics. Many utility use cases feel to me like making markets where there are none. They are cool, but are they necessary? So what is objectively necessary? In a right-shifting world, further embroiled in class-warfare, with a widening divide between the poor and an unholy marriage of the wealthy and ruling class… what do people need? I say privacy. And what is most important to privacy? Decentralization. This is an application that I believe will never be less necessary than it is right now. Privacy tokens are a thing and some are better than others. Check out Monero if you want to get started learning about them. It is always under attack, and it isn’t mooning with the rest of the crew, but as far as we know, it is completely private and secure, untraceable by any three-letter agency. Okay, just my two cents on what might be more prevalent. Safe bet is BTC. Fewer than one million hold a full token and exclusivity sells. One day, that will run out and the price will likely be well over six figures it sits at now. XMR (Monero) is what BTC should have been and has similar tokenomics. If you want to gamble, though… I’m sure others can help there. I’ve been in this for three cycles and I’m done with gambling.
$XMR due for a pump with the other dinos
But then privacy coins pumped like XLA, XMR, DERO
Fun fact : The circulating supply of XMR is only 18,446,744
Does the Osmosis DEX support XMR?
Yup my bags are really heavy in XMR. I bought too much as one of my "safe" investments Also i've been buying over multiple years
Couple grand off XMR? It’s up 15% and barely moved all cycle. It’s up 20% on the year.
Up another couple grand today after getting off work and checking my portfolio Thank you for pumping my XMR bags whoever you are you mysterious lovable strange entity you
Massive candle on Kraken on the XMR-BTC chart just wiped out a ton of sell side liquidity
You know it’s a bull market when XMR is pumping
well if there is any coin that people buy to use(meaning spend or send it) rather than buying speculatively, it's XMR.
Nope. If this was built around the BTC/XMR/ETH style design philosophy it would but XRP's aim is for financial institution to financial institution. It's a different game.
Well, you are showing two big points of your own ignorance. 1. The guy is talking about XMR, not XRP. 2. XRP is designed for cross border transfers. It's meant for bank to bank transactions. It's not built for privacy since that does not enhance it's use case.
Many people will suggest $XRP, but if you’ve been invested for a while. I’d advise you to look at XMR and XRP, when they pump, it’s an imminent sign that the market will have a pull back, $XRP always does a pump and it allows those with larger stake to push their funds through. It’s a long process but watch the markets and charts to see where the patterns are, this time around, many of the $XRP holders are redirecting their profit to $XMR. When it comes to investments I’m happy to look into them with you and give you some insight about positions, if it’s something you’re interested in, just leave a reply and I’ll send you a message back later today
i 100% agree lol loading up on XMR
K then it makes sense to even buy XMR
>I want trustless, I want anonymity, I want censorship resistance, I want decentralization. Sorry, you still don’t get it. You can go use XMR, then, but don’t expect enterprises to share the same vision as your crypto anarchist dreams. And remember, the network that wins the enterprise use case wins it all. Plan accordingly.
>My point is that framing self-custody as you holding your own Bitcoin is just incorrect. What you're actually holding are the keys to the wallet identifying the Bitcoin that belong to you. You never hold Bitcoin directly, nor does anyone else. It's an important conceptual distinction to make. If holding the keys to your Bitcoin doesn't mean you own it, their neither does having gold in a safe in the house you occupy. There is no natural/physical phenomenon by which gold is bound to your material person. In reality, gold ownership is pretty much only defined by how well you can hide it and/or defend it (either by yourself or using a law system). Plenty of civilizations had their gold taken away from them because they were unable to accomplish either of those, and now they no longer own the gold. The same applies to Bitcoin, if you hide and defend the keys, you own the Bitcoin. >You can't do a whole lot with just a simple metal plate containing your seed phrase. Eventually, you're going to have to connect your wallet to the blockchain to move your crypto. This is simply false. You can send and receive without your private keys or mnemonic ever being exposed to any network. >Of course, there are degrees of safety you can take against this, such as using an air gapped wallet, but you will never truly have the absolute anonymity and security in your transactions as you would with handing someone gold in a dark room behind closed doors. There's just no beating that. Who mentioned anonymity? This is another topic entirely, but I'll bite. Even in a dark room behind closed doors, you're releasing a wealth of information about yourself. The location itself being a big tell. People can track you after the exchange, they can follow you, or simply harvest the radio signals from your phone and track you later. You also expose yourself to physical attacks. The reality is that anonymous gold and even cash transaction are ridiculously hard to execute. Meanwhile, if you're concerned about anonymity with Bitcoin, there are endless options. Tumblers, LN, exchanging for XMR and back on no-KYC exchanges that work over Tor.
you can use XMR in useful transactions where you cannot use any other currency. no one NEEDS a hydrogen car.
It already is. XMR is used everyday all day as currency
XTZ, XVG, XMR, Pulsechain
For investing or because they have solid fundamentals (as in better than current mainstream implementation of bitcoin)? For fundamentals I'd look into XMR (Monero) and XNO (Nano). If you want to multiply fiat currency then I have no idea.
1. BTC 2. XRP 3. DOGE 4. XMR And I'm not so sure about BTC.
Seriously. Been holding XMR for like 8 years since I was mining it.
A lot of Alts have moved up, XMR still hasn't, use caution.
It's not underrated or undervalued. Bitcoin forks suffer eternal bleed against Bitcoin because they're less secure and do nothing better than Bitcoin. If you need smart contracts, you use ETH or ETH competitors. If you need fast blocks, you use KAS. If you need privacy, you use XMR. If you need Bitcoin when fees are close to a hundred bucks for a single transaction because of Ordinals, you use Lightning. If you need a Bitcoin mascot for bigger gains, you use DOGE. There's nearly no case where people collectively decide "let's use Litecoin"
XMR That shit never pumps, not even at the peak of bull markets
Now I see why XMR is the black sheep of crypto.
Investing in a hardware wallet is a prudent step toward securing your cryptocurrency holdings. Here’s a concise comparison of the Ledger and Trezor models you’re considering: Ledger Nano S Plus vs. Ledger Nano X: • Ledger Nano S Plus: • Price: Approximately £69. • Features: Supports over 5,500 tokens, offers robust security, and integrates seamlessly with the Ledger Live app. • Connectivity: USB-C only; lacks Bluetooth functionality. • Storage Capacity: Sufficient for multiple applications, though less than the Nano X. • Ledger Nano X: • Price: Approximately £124. • Features: Similar token support and security features as the Nano S Plus. • Connectivity: Includes Bluetooth, allowing for wireless connection to mobile devices. • Storage Capacity: Larger capacity, enabling more applications to be installed simultaneously. Trezor One: • Price: Approximately €68.40. • Features: User-friendly interface with two physical buttons and a small OLED display. • Supported Coins: Supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies but fewer than Ledger devices; notably lacks support for Ripple (XRP), Monero (XMR), and Cardano (ADA). • Security: Offers strong security features, including PIN protection and passphrase support. Security Considerations: All these devices provide high levels of security for storing cryptocurrencies. The addition of features like touchscreens or Bluetooth does introduce minimal additional risk; however, manufacturers implement rigorous security measures to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. For instance, the Ledger Stax incorporates a Secure Element Chip (ST33K1M5) and runs on a custom operating system designed to safeguard against various threats.  Conclusion: • Ledger Nano S Plus: Offers excellent value with robust security and extensive token support; ideal if Bluetooth connectivity isn’t a priority. • Ledger Nano X: Provides additional convenience with Bluetooth and greater storage capacity; suitable for managing a diverse portfolio on the go. • Trezor One: A reliable and user-friendly option; ensure it supports the specific cryptocurrencies you intend to store. Given your preference for a device with a screen and concerns about security, both Ledger and Trezor offer reputable options. It’s essential to purchase directly from the manufacturers’ official websites to avoid counterfeit products and to follow best practices for hardware wallet security. Note: Always conduct thorough research and consider your specific needs before making a decision.
DOGE went up 500% this year. PEPE went up 200x this year (not %) SHIB went up 300% this year. Randomly picking some "utility alt coins": ARB is down this year. ATOM is down this year. OP, IMX both down this year. XMR is down this year, MKR is barely up this year. Sure, *some* projects are doing good, and some are doing bad. But it's not like it's a sure fire gain to buy "utility alt coins" instead of memes, nor is it a golden bullet to just buy memes over other projects.
Thanks! Feel free to try out LTC/XMR/Nano on our website, I don't think there's a better payment experience than we have. Can try it with just $0.10!
XMR basically has to be a stable coin because black market needs one. Not really an investment Who knows what happens in a bullrun though
sell my XMR stash for an ETH top up yay or nay? I feel it in my nuts that ETH about to lead the alt season charge and XMR has been range bound since since mid 2022. With the lack of exchange listings and access for retail investor normies I feel like its a wasted hodl. Ill keep some for buying stuff of coarse, but as an investment vehicle I feel it will severely under perform. Thoughts?
In the case of XMR delisting there was automatic liquidation... not the same here, I guess?
Retail is here for gambling and FOMO. They still think BTC is a ponzi. They don't understand ETH. They haven't heard about XMR or they think it's drug dealers' money. These bets don't make sense to them at this part of the cycle. They don't understand AI either, but NVIDIA and the idea of AI in the future will make them buy whatever AI coins they have access to. Gaming and memes are easy to understand and everyone has heard success stories from people making it big through memes. And Murad is already famous name even outside the crypto sphere
>So, what’s next? They scroll down the CMC list and start looking for tokens that “make sense.” These usually fall into three categories: AI (because of the hype), gaming, and memes. And let’s be real, gaming and memes are waaay easier for them to wrap their heads around. None of this makes sense to me. Investing in the most decentralized & secure settlement layers (BTC, ETH, XMR) is what makes sense.
Depends do you just want BTC ETH and a small handfull of other coins but with no trade fees with a decent spread, use newton. Do you want detailed charts a big array of coins and the last exchange to offer XMR, use kraken. Do you have a bunch of old shitcoins you bought on binance that you want to offload? Use bitget, it has the biggest list of alts left out of all the canadian available exchanges. do you like high fee's? Use coinbase.
and yet if you bought the crypto that is used for criminals (XMR) you will have no gains compared to shitcoins
every (currently) popular crypto network is public, so this applies to all. monero (XMR) is the only one true cryptocurrency
Which currencies/coins do you want to hold? That's the first question. I use trust wallet, it's a multi chain wallet which works well for my major holdings (BTC, ETH, POL, SOL, SUI) for other ones you might need special wallets, XMR specifically has a good one with monerujo (or so I have heard 😉)
Well, I am constantly looking at technical analysis. If I see any bear signals in the weekly and severe ones in the daily, starting to sell some of yours is rather reasonable. So far I dont see bear signals in any coins I hodl. But I wouldnt even consider to sell BTC before 120k, ETH not under 7k and SOL not under 800 as for the higher market cap coins. Keep in mind that judging from previous cycles Bitcoin could go much higher than just 120k, though. For smaller market cap coins, I wouldnt sell XMR under 2k - its just too good of a coin, which has also already proven and applied its purpose unlike most other coins out there. Kaspa is difficult to judge, when to sell, because its Kaspas first cycle ever. It could go to just 50 cents, 1 dollar or 5 dollars. Really hard to tell. Its also one of those coins I would sell away all of because it kinda has a purpose. As for which stable coin to hold, its probably better to hold multiple different ones to avoid having single points of faliure. USDT is very established but incredibly centralized. USDC is also rather established and less severely centralized. But after all they all are tied to a very centralized asset anyway (the USD). Maybe you'd also just want to do some shorts in the bear market anyway and take profits in more established and very predictable coins like Bitcoin so you dont risk being to reliant on the USD not going into hyper inflation.
BTC/ETH/XMR three way split. 75% Bitcoin 25% Ethereum
It's a direct measurement of people's willingness to sell our cypherpunk ethics for fat cash.. Monero is the one true cypherpunk currency everything else is cypherposeurs currency. You need motivations to get XMR because it's extra steps .
What’s up with XMR? Hasn’t moved much since 2021
Where can I buy done XMR and which hardware wallets support it?
Yes it will continue to grow. Monero can't be stopped. The more surveillance of crypto transactions that happen because of kyc and chain analysis, the more people will use a fungible currency like Monero for privacy. I don't know what you mean by "going through all the steps to use it"? Sending XMR is the same as sending a BTC on chain transaction. There's no difference! Monero is cheaper and faster than BTC. There's no extra steps when sending XMR. Have you ever made a XMR transaction?
I disagree on the emission curve, I think it's the crucial distinguishing feature. What are legitimate reasons to launch a new blockchain? I would say programmability: ETH. And privacy: XMR. I believe grin has found a compelling third reason: fairness. Bitcoin created half of the money supply in four years when it was known to a few thousand nerds at best. Every other coin that I'm aware of except for grin and wownero has a more "scammy" or favorable to insiders and early adopters than Bitcoin. A reasonable person can look at Bitcoin and its emission curve and distribution and conclude that it's a scam imo, and therefore eliminate (basically) every other cryptocurrency as well. Grin offers a linear, fair emission curve that does not favor insiders and early adopters. One grin per second forever. Yes this curve was widely mocked at launch (and now), but there are only a few hundred million grin now, and inflation is slowing down. Not too mention it's significantly more private and storage/bandwidth efficient than Bitcoin. I think a fair emission and avoiding centralization from the beginning are the critical features of a blockchain to achieve some adoption. To date only Bitcoin has achieved some adoption (maybe ETH and XMR), and at least BTC fulfills those two requirements.
imho, XMR is one of the coins that have really "real" value and utility.
XMR is truly in a league of its own. Pretty impressive actually.
So many of us XMR enthusiasts are unfortunately also unskilled seamen
Another point, curious and i'm open. It doesn't seem logical to me that it's not a good investment. Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), Monero (XMR), Dogecoin (DOGE), and XRP are the only cryptocurrencies to endure over a decade with market capitalizations exceeding $500 million. This longevity shows their resilience, relevance, and ability to adapt within an industry notorious for rapid turnover and speculation. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*If Litecoin has remained relevant for over a decade, what plausible reasons suggest it won't maintain its status in another five or ten years? Each coin on this list has carved out a niche—Bitcoin as digital gold, Ethereum for smart contracts, and Monero for privacy—yet Litecoin continues to thrive as a secure, efficient, and widely accepted medium of exchange. Given the historical durability of these cryptocurrencies, I think it's good to question, what unique factors would lead to Litecoin's irrelevance compared to its peers? Its 100% uptime, steady adoption, and alignment with Bitcoin-like principles make such a scenario unlikely. If any coin from this list falters, the reasoning must be deliberate and distinct, not merely because of broader market trends.
In terms of Federal Reserve Notes.... XMR has been the same price for nearly 2 years. An incredibly stable 2 years at that. Which means that XMR has been losing purchasing power for the past 2 years, just as FRNs have lost purchasing power.
It’s not delisted from every major exchange. Kraken has XMR right now.
Are people not a fan of Coinex? As a UK user with verified KYC, I trade XMR on there without issues and pay taxes on it. I use Kraken for everything else, I'm not happy it was removed but I can fully understand why and it the FCA required them.
No it isn't, you can buy from non-KYC sources or non-FCA regulated exchanges. I trade XMR on Coinex otherwise without issues and HMRC still get their taxes.
Pretty much every vendor on the darknet accepts it. Also at monerotopia last weekend the hosts worked hard this year and last to get dozens of vendors at the Huerto Roma Verde garden marketplace accepting XMR for food, drinks, mushrooms, jewelry, etc. Plenty of people around the world use Bitcoin and Monero everyday, I think you just need to look a little harder.
XMR being the de facto payment on the dark web is what is going to keep this coin alive for the foreseeable future.
Everyone should have a bit of xmr as a hedge or as a way to buy things untracked once surveillance starts. It will be difficult to convert anything to XMR so do it now
you will find me funnier once Cardano brings XMR out of the basement. 😘
It is not just about "the tech", it is about politics and the very reason for all cryptocurrencies existing. Monero is the only project out there now with some users offering privacy by default. This is what people kind of thought Bitcoin was, and this is what was described in the Cypherpunk Manifesto: [https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html](https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html) \> Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world. \> Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy. There are still ways to trade XMR, including p2p now for cash using haveno-reto and hopefully kind of directly versus btc and eth in a uniswap style interface on [https://serai.exchange/](https://serai.exchange/) But there is currently higher friction for people to buy, because governments around the world are working to suppress this powerful freedom and privacy technology. I am not a conspiracy theorist but it's not a coincidence imo that u/coinbaselistings refuses to utter the word "Monero" for ten years and XMR is getting delisted from Binance and exchanges across Europe in the last year. I am not trying to be too preachy, have fun gambling shitters on soylana or whatever, but try to remember why we're all here.
Hopefully with Trump coming in they will feel comfortable keeping it listed in the US, even if they do go public. We'll see, but appreciate everything Kraken and u/jespow have done for XMR already ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)
Beam is a corporate shitcoin, like Zcash and many others. If you want free and fair currency that uses mimblewimble checkout [grin.mw](http://grin.mw) \- it is alongside BTC and XMR as non-shitcoins imo.
I would be very careful buying now, so many coins have already done 3-4x increase in the last month or two. Maybe we’ll see 2-3x further increase in the next few months, but in all likelihood everything will be back down again this time next year. The only things I would consider buying rn are Eth, a modest amount of BTC for the long term, Link, XMR and AVAX. Everything else has either pumped a lot already, or is at real risk of not existing in the next cycle. I would have added XLM as it looks like it’s here to stay, but it’s already gone up by about 400%
After 100k, their only exists 2, BTC and XMR. Buy accordingly
I dont really care much about these specific psychological marks. I just care about percentile gains and spreading risk in order to both get some good gains and also not blow up my portfolio like a gambling degen. Hold big positions on the higher market cap coins, even if you think their tech sucks (Proof of Scam). I currently mostly hodl BTC, ETH, SOL, KAS, XMR, PEPE and SHIB (not ordered by position size) and a couple other coins. BTC, ETH and SOL in a portfolio (wether you like Proof of Scam consensus or not) are all 3 absolute nobrainers in any crypto portfolio. Its incredibly unlikely to be wrong about them in this cycle. Only ETH is currently slightly underperforming, but I'm still in. And even if these alts dont outperform Bitcoin right away it doesnt matter much. You guys need to control your fomo. Even if you dont own all coins (I dont even have XRP or ADA in my portfolio), you will also experience some serious pumps with +80% weekly candles as long as you spread far enough. In the end, the key factor in your success is having good risk management not fomoing all the time and not taking profits too early or too late. Stick to technical analysis, dont get mislead by headlines like the ones mentioned above. On the weekly and daily charts all of these coins look very bullish to me. And even if your favorite meme coin goes taking a shit under the basement, its all fine, since you wont be risking the majority of your portfolio on them, right?
No you do not have hundreds of choices. For once PoS coins like Nano are cool but ultimately not sound. (PoS is basically what we already had for hundreds of years in the offline world) That leaves PoW coins. BTC doesn't work, Dodge is an inflating meme coin. That leaves us with LTC and XMR.
I'm sorry but they didn't "trace XMR" in terms of any breach of XMR's cryptography or anything, the guy was literally exchanging XMR for BTC on BINANCE of all places, a full on KYC exchange. What did he expect? And probably he moved them in such a way that was too easy and obvious for a timing analysis. In the article itself: "Finnish investigators from the National Bureau of Investigation (KRP), with the help of Binance, followed the trail of payments to Kivimäki, who exchanged the funds for Monero and then exchanged them back to Bitcoin." [https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/vastaamo-hacker-traced-via-untraceable-monero-transactions-police-says/](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/vastaamo-hacker-traced-via-untraceable-monero-transactions-police-says/) If the Fins did in fact breach Monero and trully "traced it", then they ought to go claim that 1.2 mil reward the IRS issued out to companies who manage to trace XMR: [https://decrypt.co/43451/irs-1-million-contracts-data-firms-crack-monero](https://decrypt.co/43451/irs-1-million-contracts-data-firms-crack-monero) But I know what you mean, of course, and as it's evident, simply just using Monero with dogshit opsec means you will be found, no doubt about it.
It’s not a silver bullet, if the government wants to find you via XMR, they absolutely will. It might take them a while but they’ll eventually piece enough together to pop you. Finnish authorities just this year tracked XMR tied to the Vaastamo hack back to hacker Julius Aleksanteri Kivimäki.
True. And price manipulation and suppression they're exerting on XMR to keep it under the rug is massive, it's literally the only way they can try damaging since they can't break its cryptography, they can't do fuck all in terms of tracing it, the only thing they can affect it through is regulations, delisting on CEXs and price manipulation. But luckily we've so many options in development, atomic swaps, Haveno, all these hardships are only making the project stronger.
I feel like if anyone makes a legitimate effort to see the uses for "blockchains" they will quickly see why there is interest. The main thing is that 10 years on most of the chains remain unbroken and have proof of the entire history of the coin(be it BTC, ETH, XMR or shit Bluesky is literally building a blockchain based social media as we speak)
Exchange availability is not a big requirement for p2p cash. Maybe in the beginning. but how many places you can use it to pay is important. XMR is used mostly for one special thing, but it is the best at it. I have never seen a real life shop that accepts LTC or XLR /XRP. But BTC, ETH, BCH are "common" imo and the first two have problems with fees and speed.
👍 Good selection. I would remove XRP (not sound money) and add XMR. LTC is good competition but limps from the same problems BTC does, mainly scaling limits. >BCH block times are 10 minutes. Slower than both the above. Fees are low but not as low as the above. Not true, BCH is instant for every day values and technologies like DSproof and Zero Conf Escrow will expand on that. BCH actually has the lower fees most of the times compared to LTC. You can see it here: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/median_transaction_fee-ltc-bch.html#3y Note that the activation of cashtokens in may 2023 has skewed the graph a bit since cashtokens are bigger tx and cost a bit more.
I started posting this when I saw ETH maxis trying to bamboozle noobs telling them that ETH ratio would recover to 0.08 a couple of months ago. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1fgzm3z/daily_crypto_discussion_september_15_2024_gmt0/ln9jvct/ If you think 0.04 BTC is low, the ETH/BTC ratio is going to feel like getting kicked in the nuts over and over again over the long term as the ratio falls below 0.01 and goes lower and lower. Long term ALL Alts follow the same trend and fall below the initial BTC value they started at. Pretty much all the older Alts, even the most successful fall below this value. ETH is also trending long term to fall below this value. People talk about historic trends, patterns and cycles but this has been the only 1 undisputed and unbroken pattern for 14 years. | | Initial | High | Current | |:-----------|------------:|:------------:|------------:| | LTC | 0.03 BTC| 0.048 BTC | 0.001 BTC | XRP | 5,594 SATS| 22,500 SATS | 940 SATS | XMR | 0.005 BTC| 0.035 BTC | 0.0029 BTC | ETH | 0.01 BTC | 0.15 BTC | 0.041 BTC
