XMR

FirmInFaith

ITT: BuT thIs CoiN, noT thiS cOin From my opinion, trading = gambling. No one really knows how a market is going to turn out, especially in crypto. I have made money from ETH and XMR, keeping BTC as my long term investment. **Best advice for anyone is DYOR.** Invest money that you're okay with losing.

x-NoSuchAgency-x

Sorry, but that's false. Getting something like BTC on a p2p exchange doesn't make it private. Do some research on why XMR is private. If you get BTC from a p2p exchange, it can still be traced back to you

Gaditonecy

Do I need to port forward or otherwise configure my router in order to mine XMR?

BluehibiscusEmpire

Plot twist it’s XMR :p

YogurtCloset3335

I know that XMR balances are invisible. Staking an invisible amount will be tricky. You're the one making assumptions that such a system can even work. Can you tell me how that will work?

Pinewatch762

Hold in stables and XMR. Market crashes. Buy back in with more buying power. Rinse and repeat

CaptainSugarWeasel

You're right about bitcoin maxis, I don't understand why blockchain as a world computer matters. Since 2017 I've never been able to grasp why anyone would want to hold ETH. The only alt I've taken any interest in is Monero, and I still don't own any because BTC is the better SOV. I like XMR in theory since it can't be mined on ASICs anyone can mine it on a normal PC with an integrated node/miner/wallet. It seems elegant/decentralised/private.

MichaelAischmann

Can't decide which stack to grow today. BTC, ETH or XMR?

DotJaded996

Cubic lied and inflated their hashrate. There were a couple chain reorgs but the reality is they only had about 34% of the hashrate for a short time. Their attack against XMR wasn't successful.  Similar things happened to Bitcoin in the early years. 

BullfrogLevel2087

Why midnight and not zcash? Genuine question i was looking to do XMR but with the latests news not so convinces. Convince me and il put in 1000$.

vicanonymous

I'm grateful that fungible Monero (XMR) exists.

Puzzleheaded_Fold665

I asked grok for top 5. 1.BTC 2. ETH 3. XMR 4. BNB 5. LITECOIN 6. CARDANO

bottatoman

Commercial banks very likely, central banks nope, they literally own the show by owning Tether, USDC, hijacked BTC in 2014 and by manipulating the price of peer to peer cash BCH and XMR to the ground while all these idiots are falling for it.

delastunicorn

No. I bought XMR during the dip last week. It pump and dump when it want to, lol. Wild.

veegaz

Why is it that when the market is shit deep in the red, XMR (Monero) is ultra green, and vice versa? Is there a correlation between the two?

Mindless_Ad_9792

freewallet is a known SCAM wallet, not only is it custodial, its known in the monero community that they also steal XMR from people's wallets, stay away

vicanonymous

I would go with Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin.

vicanonymous

I prefer Monero (XMR).

Flynn_Kevin

I'd love a bridge too. I off ramp my XMR to USDC on Algorand where I redeploy into DeFi. It's not overly complex but it sure could be easier.

MyOtherAcctsAPorsche

What happened with that? Last I heard some exchange was de listing XMR just in case.

ScoobaMonsta

XMR 100% 👍

BrilliantBelt8842

XMR

jxoho

XMR because its as untraceable as cash. But also shout-out to XRP and Stablecoins

_Hpst_

I tried binance and zonda, it seems to be the same, but binance only asked for residency address during fiat deposit (for the payment providers) and it doesn't show my address as verified on binance itself RIP crypto privacy in EU, unless you use XMR :P

0XNemesis777

Monero XMR. Nothing else.

CyberCurrency

Probably because of that XMR 51% attack FUD from a few weeks ago. Search keywords likely "privacy coin hack"

rupsdb

BTC+XMR is only legit. Rest are Shitcoins

bottatoman

Monero XMR and MinoTari XTM

Top_Bluejay_9483

51% attacks you can check out XMR for how that works and from what I read today (with no further research beyond a single article) the group that has been hitting XMR is moving over to doge

jhflores516

BTC and XMR as much as I hate to say BTC. ETH will probably be dead in 5 years, hear me out and DYOR. ETH doesn’t have the capacity to compete with new blockchains and all the L2’s in the world can’t save it. ETH just wasn’t designed to be upgradable. It will die just as many first mover technologies have before it.

pref1Xed

ETH is way more useful than Bitcoin and XMR.

_TheWolfOfWalmart_

Honestly, the only coins that are useful in real life are Bitcoin, USDT/USDC and XMR. I don't even hold XMR because the price action is always garbage, and it really shouldn't be because it has a reason to exist.

rupsdb

Why not XMR? No point coming shitcoin like ETH.

jasoncarr

This could ultimately be positive for Monero, and I am glad Qubic revealed its weaknesses. I home the XMR community is looking for ways to make their network more resistant, since larger more well-funded actors are almost certainly going to want to attack XMR at some point.

ScoobaMonsta

My advice is to find out what real on chain fundamentals are in this space. Don't believe what strangers say about a project. When you learn about true fundamentals you can then do your own research into any project and see if they are good fundamentals or not. Then apply critical thinking to the information that you discover for yourself. This way you'll be safe. Look at the fundamentals of projects like BTC ETH and XMR. And use that as a benchmark when looking at anything else. Also learn about security of your assets. Personal online security is extremely important when diving into crypto. What are public keys? What are private keys? What is a seed phrase? Knowing these things and how to keep them secure is vital. Get yourself a good password manager like keepassxc and have a good strong master password that will encrypt all your sensitive information. Don't fall short on learning this. Have good OPSEC!

“Grifters change target to reframe failure of 51% attack on XMR. Trying to pump their shitcoin and spread FUD on yet another OG chain” GTFO

XMR is the only green 😂

If you focus on the day-to-day, you must be new. It's going to go up and down constantly. It could easily go back up over $300 then down to $100, it's a rollercoaster, and not just Monero.  Monero is still very difficult to trade. The price reflects that. There is practically no OTC XMR available anywhere. 

BitOfDifference

idg kraken on this, they never hit the required cap. If kraken was actually afraid, they would completely halt all trading on XMR since what they have might be completely worthless should a 51% attack actually occur. Its just dumb.

BicycleOfLife

I think you give XMR way too much credit… it’s just not that great the way it functions. It’s too private and it makes it hard to audit. Which is important for a blockchain.

Grunblau

The large wallets that are ‘waking up’ are actually brute forced by a Chinese quantum firm… Dems win in 2026 and make fucking over crypto bros their only priority… XMR attack is successful… and people point to Blackrock as a BTC attack vector… Saylor’s Strategy is actually a constructed narrative and money laundering scheme…

AmadeusBlackwell

>and they have the ability to print fake XMR They don't.

SoggyGrayDuck

No, if CEX can receive XMR and they have the ability to print fake XMR they can cash out through kraken and empty their reserve cash and BTC or whatever

peepeepoopooxddd

XMR's aim for transactions to be untraceable and hidden is precisely why intelligence agencies and governments hate it. It's not like other blockchains where every transaction is visible.

peepeepoopooxddd

They're not actually at 51% and it'll be hard to sustain. That being said, it looks like they'll get there eventually. I would unironically sell all XMR you have because they seem hellbent on reaching it - this could render the network useless and worthless. As a side note, I do wonder if this company is just a cover for an intelligence agency (CIA/MI5/Interpol) because of XMR's use predominantly in illegal activity like the online drug trade.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Kraken has suspended Monero (XMR) deposits after a confirmed 51% attack on the network linked to the Qubic mining pool, which controlled over half of Monero’s hashrate. The attack caused a six-block deep reorganization of the blockchain, raising concerns about the vulnerability of mid-tier Proof-of-Work networks. Kraken assured that XMR trading and withdrawals remain operational. The incident has reignited debates on mining centralization and privacy coin security, with Monero’s price dropping by 14% before partially recovering. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

trimalcus

Qubic won't go further because they need to keep XMR alive in order to make profit or their economics will also crash. There is no other cpu pow coins It is the paradox of the parasite

intelw1zard

Politicians straight up told Coinbase they cannot add XMR or they will face consequences. https://decrypt.co/36731/heres-why-coinbase-still-hasnt-listed-monero >However, Armstrong suggested that US regulators are uncomfortable with privacy-centric coins. While the government hasn’t made any sort of proclamations as to coming enforcement or issues with Monero or other coins, Armstrong said that a mix of conversations with regulators and internal risk assessments has kept them away—for now, at least. >“A lot of it is behind-the-scenes conversations where [regulators] are kind of saying: ‘We very much don’t think you should do this,’” Armstrong recalled. “And then we have the conversation: ‘Well, are you telling us that you don’t like it, or are you telling us that you are going to sue us if we do it?’” >According to Armstrong, legal disputes with regulators are part and parcel with being a financial services business, and it’s something they’re willing to engage in at times. However, it can be costly, and they’re not looking to pick every pricey fight that comes their way.

Karambamamba

Man you got it all down the wrong pipe. There’s a reason rocket launches that result in a crash are a seen as very valuable. Qubic network announced their plan and gave a time and I think we can assume there is no ill intent. It’s a proof of concept for both sides so to speak and only valuable data can come from it. XMR should be using this as a chance to provide an even safer environment and stand true to their name. I’m not trying to gaslight btw, I am honestly surprised no one has said it already

CriticalCobraz

It's probably not much hashpower but I'll start mining XMR on P2Pool again

_that_random_dude_

The fact that XMR is harassed so much shows it has real utility that scares and annoys some people Now take a guess who those people might be

Deardiarylul

discount on XMR...cant wait till privacy becomes king again

delastunicorn

Please XMR, please.

Stueyhighball

If you looked into IOTA- do some reading on qubic. It is so advanced everyone is in denial with what they are accomplishing. Decentralized computing trains AGI and mining XMR blockchain with the remainder. It's very cool. Also- LINK is a decent play. Less upside, but solid

JuryNightFury

I 2nd XMR. People don’t value privacy until it’s too late.

iTzSonicHD

ETH is a solid pick, what’s XMR?

divergence777

ETH most likely or XMR if I wanted to take a little more risk.

delastunicorn

Don’t know why but I just bought a bit of XMR.

dataCollector42069

o7 XMR this attack is killing it WHILE its a bull market

the_rodent_incident

\>I held XMR since 0.020. \>\*she flips the table, throws a wine bottle, then spits on me\* GET LOST LOSER

Needsupgrade

All I'm saying is they can't sustain it forever and it's not profitable for them directly . There whole argument is using qubic to subsidize this play. I find it really suspicious they picked XMR to do this to rather than coins that have actual market for shorting and leveraged shorting . Why did they select xmr where the profitable strategy has the least chance of working?  You could take this attack strategy the way qubic is set up to subsidize the attack and deploy it on any chain listed on exchanges with leveraged short ability and less hash power than xmr and just go through icahn style raiding every coin like that and probably make at least a few hundred million and possibly even scare people out of the entire low security shitcoin market .  This thing that's happening is shady in a way that either means it's run by dimwits or they are doing 5d chess move and we aren't seeing the real motive

borg_6s

Of course. What else would they use? Their entire stashes are in XMR.

wvutrip

Privacy the most overhyped thing in the world. No one truly cares about privacy. They say they do but they’ll give it up for any little convenience or safety. They also post their lives online. I like the idea of XMR but it just won’t work in our financial system and no government going to allow it. It’s sad but the truth. XMR just a terrible investment

Mine some XMR if you can't. They're potentially getting 51% attacked. This + Roman Storm + ID verification on websites... privacy under full attack on a global level.

Erowid2S

My 9950X3D, Laptop's 6800H and other laptop's 4500U get me a total of 0.07 XMR every ~60 days. It used to be 40 days. I guess more people are mining now. Anyways basically I earn 30 cents a day from this. It's not much at all but I have free energy and can keep my PC and laptops on 24/7.

You can send your bitcoin via Lightning and now these are not the same sats. Or BTC -> XMR -> BTC

NFTbyND

It can do everything XMR can + smart contracts as advanced as eth but private + much more + more decentralized + faster. Midnight will launch in a couple of months from now.

CryptoBombastic

I aint selling XMR, it's like giving up on my privacy you fkng tools. Short some other coin.

VendettaKarma

Exactly that’s so random and to target XMR when there are so many that are much easier.. yeah definitely a front IMO

From exchange to Y there’s a trail, from Y to Tornado there’s a trail, they know now you’re mixing, with XMR there’s only a trail from exchange to your supposed address (which is stealth address anyway), very different my friend. Btw zksnarks is even better tech so let’s compare to a private by default zksnarks chain.

trimalcus

This is the plan: 1.Make people panic and selling XMR reducing network hashrate 2.Hype qubic token and sell/dump it for renting hashrate and give incentive to qubic pool

Every_Hunt_160

Most XMR holders may not even have heard of this news to sell tho, the source of the ‘news’ seems to be from a Twitter post

MinimalGravitas

> Exchange still knows you have X amount of money in Y address, If you buy on an exchange then they always know 'X', regardless of whether you are buying ETH or XMR or whatever. They know how much you bought because they sold it to you! They don't know 'Y', the address where your funds are, whether it's on Monero or has been moved on Ethereum through Tornado Cash.

SubstanceAltered

Pump their coin and convince more miners to join their network by making it seem like XMR's demise is a foregone conclusion. Lots of weird propaganda "coincidences" happening the last couple weeks.

VendettaKarma

This has to be a coordinated attack by a centralized government agency to stop the most popular truly privatized token in crypto. This thing is cooked. I loved XMR too, this is fucking awful to see. Not so much for the value, but for the point of the use case. They just wont stop until they control everything by any means necessary.

balls2hairy

They could have huge short positions on XMR and profit that way.

Ghant_

>unless they make their PoW mechanics incompatible with the BTC asics. They did, its called RandomX CPU mining algo. Asics can't be used to Mine XMR

DicksFried4Harambe

You know what I’m going to start up my old desktop and mine XMR solo or in a small pool again fuck it

PoS seems particularly dangerous for a coin like XMR. You can't tell if somebody's sitting with a dominant stake. The whole thing would be 100% hope-driven.

Federal-Anything5312

Why would you swap 200k$ in a single transaction on some anon site? I use them a lot to swap smaller amounts in/out of privacy coins like XMR, no idea why you wouldnt use a normal exchange for "normal" trades.

yuunggxanhoe

i understand but who’s to say it couldn’t by some crazy possibility happen?, Monero appears to be in the midst of a successful 51% attack with The Qubic mining pool, With its current dominance, Qubic can rewrite the blockchain, enable double-spending, and censor any transaction. i know XMR & BTC are two different cryptos but hearing about successful 51% attacks in the space is something that sorta been sitting in the back of my head for a couple days.

NFTbyND

$NIGHT will flip $XMR within a few years

AwchoHaino

For a 7–10 year horizon and respectable gains, I’d personally keep the core in BTC and ETH, maybe 70–80% split between them, with the rest in a small number of high-conviction alts (SOL is reasonable), AVAX and privacy coin like XMR or Zcash. DCA regularly, don’t overtrade, and ignore short-term noise. Keep watching daily weekly chart. Wishing you good ROI

Ok-Tart7607

XMR is king

Ok-Tart7607

XMR is king

Thorsten_Speckstein

The shitcoins you mentioned—ADA and XRP—are also bought in billions every day. The only cryptos worth using are XMR and Hbar; the rest are worthless, including BTC. Compared to Hbar, BTC is nothing. Do your research.

-Monero

Me too. But instead of USDC I choose Monero, and instead of BTC I choose XMR.

rupsdb

My exit strategy is to hedge against fiat debasement and the risk of hyperinflation. Living in a developing country like India—under an increasingly oppressive regime with heavy capital controls, crony capitalism, extreme wealth concentration, and widening inequality—my bet is on BTC + XMR as the safest path to financial freedom.
