Unless there's a bug in Monero that nobody has discovered yet, which would explain why it keeps losing value relative to bitcoin.
Bitcoin seems to change value more dramatically than Monero, from everything I've seen. That works both ways, though.
That is weird. It should have gone up a lot since 2018 because of the smaller market cap and excellent fundamentals.
I can't even argue with you. It's practically a stablecoin by crypto standards.
My understanding is that it was deliberately designed that way because it was intended to be used as a medium of exchange and not a vehicle for investment.
One of those fundamentals is a tightly scheduled supply. The tail emission is just to ensure mining security and is insignificant compared to XMR appreciation. That's why the guy above saves gold and Monero.
Hell yeah. Also have a look at XMRBazaar.com where you can buy and sell legal goods and services directly for Monero. X premium, Spotify, Canva pro, laptops, houses, cars, etc. are all on there and many things are priced directly in Monero.
While that is a possibility, there are a lot of incredibly intelligent people who do their absolute best to make sure that that does not happen.
And just like Bitcoin, upgrades are only deployed after they have been thoroughly vetted and torture tested to hell.
