Oh, wait, you're bringing up yours?
Okay.
I had mine up.
Go for it.
But yeah, I just want to say, XOLIX will be down there as well.
They were down there last year.
They're another great sponsor of Monero Topia, very reliable, greatly appreciate their sponsorship.
I think they're doing great work in terms of being an instant exchange.
I know Tux, I think you've had experiences with them as well, right?
Yeah, I do like XOLIX.
Yeah, competitive rates, reliable.
They have Xano.
There's not many that have Xano.
They have Xano, so guys, definitely check them out if you're trying to get in on
Xano.
We should bring up Xano too.
I haven't even seen the, yeah, show us your TA skills.
I have zero, I have zero, I have zero TA skills.
I don't know how to read the T-leaves, but go ahead, Tux.
Can you read the T-leaves for us?
Not like body can.
Minero's chilling at, well, about where it was a week ago.
It's a little higher.
Is that one?
No, it looks like it's been climbing, bro.
It's a little higher.
Oh, wait, this is, hold on, this chart is way too, let's get one hour
chart.
Here we go.
Yep.
All right.
So about a week ago, it has gone up from 150 to 161 after that dip because of the crack
in European listing.
So it is gaining some ground once again.
Wow, I still can't believe it dipped to 135, I'm thinking of October.
It wasn't as bad as the Binance listing for sure.
It took a little hit, but it came back up pretty quickly and it's back up to 160,
which is that sweet spot that it's usually sitting at.
Yeah.
So maybe it can get closer to 170, 180, form an aerotopia.
That would be nice.
We'll see.
I think my guess was 202 was my...
202?
Yeah.
I think mine was around 180, 185.
Oh, you might be sitting pretty.
I might be.
I might be close.
I have no idea which charts of these are actually.
But if it hits 185, it might just rally from there, man.
It might rally right from there.
I mean, if it hits like, I think maybe 190, I mean 200 for sure.
If it can stay above there, that's going to be a new floor, a new price floor,
I think, because it's been a price ceiling for quite a while now.
It's 200, 190, 200 around there.
So yeah, that'd be cool though.
That'd be interesting to see.
Bitcoin's back up.
It's back up.
It's trying again.
It's at 68.3 right now.
K.
So it's trying again for that 70K, I guess.
And then gold also.
There's been a lot of negative news surrounding banks and their debt.
So gold has been also...
I don't want to get gold.
This one's gold USD.
Gold USD.
Yeah, it's like people know something, right?
There's people...
Some big institutions I feel like are, you know,
moving more into gold right now.
I guess no matter what happens after the election,
there's going to be some instability,
whether or not Trump wins or Kamala wins.
If Trump wins, there'll be riots who are potentially right.
Who knows what the hell is going to happen.
If Kamala wins, people are just going to be terrified of
unrealized capital gains tax.
Either way, you know, gold and crypto is probably...
Gold just hit another all-time high by far.
February was around 2K.
And then slowly it just continued to go up.
And now it's up to 2,735, which is an all-time high once again.
So people are putting money in gold right now.
Whenever UK just said, if you get plus or minus within $5,
I'll pay one XMR.
So what's the rule for that?
So the day Monerotopia starts,
my price estimate has to be plus or minus within $5.
I guess that's what he's saying.
Well, you already have your...
You can't change your estimate now.
No, no.
I'd have to check with Bonnie to confirm what it was.
I think it was $5 because he has the chart.
I'm pretty sure I'm $202.
That would be wild if we got up that high
by Monerotopia.
I mean, that means Monero's flying high,
bouncing back from being delisted.
It could only be delisted so many more times.
And every time it seems to get delisted,
the effect seems to be less,
and the bounce back seems to be stronger.
So I think things are sitting pretty pretty pretty right now.
I mean, obviously Monero has lost a lot of ground.
It was doing...
It had the same momentum that Bitcoin had,
it was climbing with Bitcoin and then bam,
it got delisted yet again.
So lost some momentum there,
but it seems to be rallying back.
Monero UK said it was guessing the price on Christmas Day.
What?
Guessing the Monero price on Christmas Day
if you're supposed to...
Okay.
...or minus within $5.
I'll pay one XMR.
Wow.
Very, very generous of him.
So what's your guess?
It's Christmas Day.
Oh boy.
Let's see what it was.
Let's look at the year...
It's like in the 12th month here.
Yeah.
December Christmas Day was...
It was around one, it was like one,
just about 180, 178.
Okay.
This year, it really just depends what happens.
Do we have a major economic event
that kind of pulls everything back even more?
Yeah, we got the presidential election.
It's going to be a bit of a different world after that.
Trump is...
Good chance Trump will be the guy in office.
What does that then mean for the broader market?
Crypto, Monero?
Obviously.
I'll have to think about this one.
Yeah.
I don't know. Hard to say.
I think crypto will continue to rally.
Trump will get in.
Crypto will rally.
It would definitely be good for crypto if Trump got in,
that's for sure.
Yeah.
I mean Monero...
Monero always seems to be its own thing, right?
And I don't know.
No politician seems to be good for Monero.
I don't think Trump has proven that he would be
good for Monero.
He'll be good for crypto.
He'll be good for his own crypto that he launched.
The DJT.
What's it like an ETH token or something?
Dude, what is...
It's like, come on, man.
It's like I want to vote for you.
I'm voting for Trump, no matter what.
But you're not making it easy, man.
You're not making it easy.
You got to grift us and scam us as you do it.
Just freaking focus on the election,
get in the office,
and do some of the pro-liberty things
that you claim you'll be doing.
Free Ross.
We don't need you grifting your crypto.
How does he get to that point?
To me, that's just like...
It just shows major flaws, right?
What's your reaction to that, Tux?
It shows his true colors,
which we've always known,
but then people...
I never forget it,
but some people forget, right?
They get mesmerized,
and they get excited by,
oh man, he's the second coming, right?
The guy's our savior.
He really is for the people.
But you forget,
at the end of the day,
he's Trump.
He's Trump Enterprises.
He's a grifter by nature, man.
His grift happens to align with Liberty right now,
which is good.
So go ahead,
grift away,
do pro-liberty things,
interest the line there.
But let's not forget,
let's not forget who he is.
If you're in the U.S.,
go vote for Trump.
Let's get him in office 100%.
But goddamn it, man.
What is he doing with
trying to pump,
you know, a scam project
a month out from his presidential election?
And it's like...
Oh yes, I took a look at it myself,
and it's even funnier in order to...
It's like the most anti-crypto thing.
It's like in order to even get some of this token,
you have to KYC yourself.
You have to use Wallet Connect,
because it's the theory of things.
Then you have to give them a picture of your driver's license
to make sure you're a citizen, all this stuff,
to get your DJT token.
You have to be a qualified investor,
because they didn't want to, you know,
go to jail for SEC, you know,
securities violations.
So you have to either be, you know,
a qualified investor
or a foreigner.
So it's like not even open up to the general U.S. public,
which I guess is a good thing.
Oh really? Oh, I wasn't aware of that.
Yeah, you either have to be a, you know,
a qualified...
I forget the proper term, a qualified investor,
you know, have to show that you have so much money
in your savings account, right?
Like to invest in things like this, right?
It's just a gate camp thing.
Yeah, so if they completely opened it up,
it would be securities fraud, right?
Yeah, yep.
So, or you could be a foreign investor
outside of the U.S. where, you know,
the SEC doesn't...
Somehow that's a better thing.
Yeah, so it's like, so even, you know,
and it's funny because it's like him announcing it
with the American flags in the background,
like the typical American can't even legally
invest in his,
in his IPO here,
his ICO.
It's hilarious.
Dude, he's got his sons,
I guess they're the ones that roped him into this.
I see they're all over the project.
I don't know if you want to bring it up.
Maybe we could talk about that later.
I think it will come up in the news, I don't know.
Yeah, price report.
I think we're looking pretty here.
160.
I'm sticking with my...
Well, I have to stick with it anyway,
but I'm actually, I think we could get to 202, guys.
Magic could happen.
We got a month out.
Three weeks.
Yeah, who knows?
Who knows?
180 is probably more realistic, but you never know.
You never know.
It would have been a lot more realistic
if that crack and event didn't happen.
Oh, yeah.
It had to take a little bit of time to recover,
but we'll see.
But I do feel like at some point,
once, you know, it's being delisted so much
and every time it keeps creeping back up,
at some point it's going to like creep back up,
but then just kind of keep on going
and there'll be nothing left to push it back down, you know?
I mean, that's the hope.
It just depends on how much demand
there ends up being compared to
the amount of liquidity available,
because if, like, there's high demand
and there's, like,
such a low liquidity,
like there's not enough liquid Monero,
then it will still, that could still
potentially cause price to
not take off like you want it to.
There has to be, like, a
kind of an even play between them.
Like, obviously, scarcity
can bring Monero's price to be
super valuable, but there has to also be
liquidity there so people can trade
to make the price go up.
Right, they need to be able to access.
Right, it might be super scarce
and everybody wants it, but then if it's like,
there's no bridges to get it.
But the bridges exist, right?
We got Exilex, we got all these instant exchanges,
we got Sarai
coming down the pipe any day now.
We have Havino,
which is
growing in usage.
We have XMR Bizarre, obviously that's not
the most liquid way to get Monero,
but there are, collectively,
there's a lot of different
on and off ramps into Monero that exist
right now and it's only growing
and they're only becoming more decentralized.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you for the tip.
I'm gonna bring up Xano.
