The 'hard' asset in the world, oddly enough, the virtual

Over the past few months, we are faced with the growing financial, commercial and political instability that has led to a growing concern about the onset of a major global economic downturn. Trade dispute between the US and China, Brexit and other European political turmoil, another sovereign default and the introduction of government control over the movement of capital in Argentina, as well as problems associated with the role of Central banks and their independence — all this excited the markets.

While you are trying to understand all these events, and myriad explanations and opinions on what various indicators, such as the inverted yield curve and negative interest rates on the mortgage loans may mean for the future of the economy, you will hear recommendations for the transfer of your investment portfolio in 'hard assets'.

And, not without reason, because hard assets such as gold, show good results in a period of economic and financial instability (figure 1).

Figure 1: the Price of gold often grow during economic downturns*

https://i.redd.it/lx9dvczwp0v31.png

But what is a solid asset? And why is Bitcoin (BTC), despite the fact that it is completely virtual, and transactions with it are made through the Internet, is perhaps the most \"solid\" asset in the world?

\"Solid\" (material) and \"soft\" (intangible) assets

Solid assets have traditionally been defined as tangible property or physical goods such as gold, which are valued for their reliably limited supply. They contrast with \"soft assets\" such as fiat currencies, stocks and bonds, whose offer can be quickly increased with just a click on a computer keyboard. Soft \"financial\" assets may also be subject to restructuring or default, dividend and profit reductions or other changes (sometimes arbitrary) that undermine long-term value.

Throughout history, experienced investors have relied on solid assets to manage risk and protect long-term value in the face of instability and economic downturns, when the supply of many soft assets has traditionally increased and thus puts downward pressure on their cost.

What makes Bitcoin more scarce than real estate or gold?

Solid assets are back in vogue as central banks in countries such as China, Russia, India and Turkey buy large amounts of gold. It is estimated that in the first quarter of this year alone, central banks purchased 145.5 metric tons of gold, which is 68% more than in the same period in 2018.

We have also seen legendary investors such as Ray Dalio, founder of the world's largest hedge fund, recently encouraged people to invest in gold (increase investment in gold). Not surprisingly, the price of gold has risen by 16% in the last five months.

We have centuries of data on the value of gold and its traditional role as a repository of values and a safe haven. Its physical nature and countless proven uses of gold, in addition to being a means of preserving value (e.g. jewelry, industrial products), make it, in our opinion, complementary to Bitcoin, and not competing with him.

In other words, we do not view bullish sentiments about gold and Bitcoin as mutually exclusive.

We do not consider bullish sentiments regarding gold and Bitcoin mutually exclusive.

However, it is important to emphasize the key difference between Bitcoin and gold, which is that the dynamics of the gold supply is not fixed.

If, for example, earlier gold production was unprofitable, then as the price of gold increases, the supply of gold to the market may increase. As a result, the increase in the supply of gold in the market can become a deterrent to the further growth of its price.

Traditional solid assets vulnerable to deflationary supply shocks

The same dynamics of the gold supply (the higher price of the increase in the supply of the lower impact on prices) affects both silver and any

Then, around May 2024, or about four years after the previous halving, the next one will occur. Again, the mining reward will be halved, this time to 3,125 new bitcoins mined every 10 minutes. And then again, around May 2028, to 1.5625 new bitcoins.

And so on, and so on...

Until about 2140, when the hard limit of 21 million will be reached. bitcoins and further mining of new bitcoins will become impossible.

The next \"halving\" when the supply of new bitcoins decreases every 4 years is due around May 2020.

While bitcoin mining will continue for about the next 100-plus years, more than 98% of all possible bitcoins will be mined over the next decade, by 2030. In other words, over time, new bitcoins will become smaller and smaller until the final limit of 21 million is eventually reached. coins, laid software in the protocol Bitcoin, and on this creation of the new bitcoins will completely stop.

More than just digital gold

For more than a decade, as an algorithmically defined bitcoin proposal has created the kind of predictability and clarity much desired and needed by investors to maintain value for a long period of time. Combine this dynamic with the portability, security and usefulness of Bitcoin as a payment mechanism, and you have an irresistible and attractive value proposition for investors seeking to manage a variety of macroeconomic, political and other forms of risk. Indeed, over the past decade, Bitcoin has already attracted tens of millions of owners and users, and its growth rate surpasses those of the Internet and personal computers combined (slide on page 94).

Although this post focused on the function of Bitcoin as a scarce and solid asset, it is worth noting its growing role as a broad technology platform for digital identification and other non-non-neonitarian uses. As we discuss in our recently published investment thesis, the notion that Bitcoin is only \"digital gold\" underestimates its full potential and the overall target market.

26-OCT-2019 Cryptocurrency (Elliott Wave): Trick or Treat…?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5128394.msg52880531#msg52880531


The 2019 Bitcoin bull market parabolically surged 345% from the low of 15-DEC-2018 to the high of 26-JUN-2019. Since the 26-JUN-2019 high, the market was spooked with a 48% decline into the low of 23-OCT-2019.

From an Elliott Wave perspective, two scenarios are under consideration at this inflection point: a continuing Bull Scenario (Preferred) or a Bear Scenario (Alternative).

In either scenario, the Elliott Wave model proposes a five wave structure, consisting of: three advancing bull market waves, interwoven with two declining bear market waves. Overlaying this model onto Bitcoin suggests:

Wave-1: the first bull market wave 2010-2013 (1219 days), followed by; Wave-2: the first bear market wave 2013-2015 (426 days), followed by; Wave-3: the second bull market wave 2015-2018 (1065 days), followed by; Wave-4: the second bear market wave 2018-2019 (363 days), followed by; Wave-5: the third and final bull market wave 2019-? 

—BLX: https://i.imgur.com/Ukei46V.jpg

The five aforementioned have been considered as PRIMARY degree waves —such waves elapse the course of a few months to a couple of years. Each PRIMARY degree wave is constituted of five INTERMEDIATE degree waves; and in turn, so forth into smaller degree fractals.

The Bullish Scenario (Preferred) suggests Wave-5 is still underway, and the bulls shall be treated to subdividing and extending waves headed for new all-time highs.

The Bear Scenario (Alternative) suggests a trick Wave-5 completed at the 26-JUN-2019 high as a truncated fifth wave failure, and a bear market is underway.


Bull Scenario (Preferred)

The preferred bullish scenario suggests a continuing bull market is underway. PRIMARY[5] wave started from the 06-FEB-2019 low, and has completed its first parabolic uptrend labelled as INTERMEDIATE(1) wave at the 26-JUN-2019 high.

INTERMEDIATE(2) wave pullback started at the 26-JUN-2019 high, and retraced an almost Fibonacci 61.8% thus far into the 23-OCT-2019 low. This 4-month decline unfolded in a three wave A-B-C structure. With technical momentum indicators such as the RSI (Relative Strength Index) positively diverging from price action on multiple timeframes, it appears the pullback may be complete. However, the first set of five rising impulsive waves are yet to be discernible from the 23-OCT-2019 low.

—BTC: https://i.imgur.com/198OpNL.jpg

—GBTC: https://i.imgur.com/o5AdxtK.jpg

Any further extended declines for INTERMEDIATE(2) wave pullback ought to be concluded at the following Fibonacci support zones, using BITSTAMP:

@7230: 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from 15-DEC-2018 to 26-JUN-2019. [AVG] @5425: 78.6% Fibonacci retracement from 15-DEC-2018 to 26-JUN-2019. [MAX] @4350: 88.6% Fibonacci retracement from 15-DEC-2018 to 26-JUN-2019. [WARNING: Bull Market Terminated?] 

From the 23-OCT-2019 low, the continuing bull market scenario would now suggest the start of a rising INTERMEDIATE(3) wave. Such a wave is expected to unfold parabolically in nature, and at a minimum, meet or exceed the PRIMARY[3] high set on 17-DEC-2017. In both price and time, this wave is expected to be the longest of the PRIMARY[5] bull market. Subdividing and extending parabolic waves on exponential price scales are challenging to track. The maximum declines within INTERMEDIATE(3) wave ought to be around 40% in size, with averages of 20%-25%.

Where the PRIMARY[5] bull market ends is open to interpretation and speculation.

From an Elliott Wave perspective: A common wave relationship guides the price of the fifth wave to be equal to; or extend a Fibonacci 1.618 times; the length from the low of the first wave through to the high of third wave; projected from the low of the fourth wave. This provides a conservative target of the current bull market to conclude between $22,912 and $35,127, calculated using the BraveNewCoin (BLX) index:

@22912: PRIMARY[5] = (PRIMARY[1] + PRIMARY[3]) * 1 @35127: PRIMARY[5] = (PRIMARY[1] + PRIMARY[3]) * 1.618 

—BLX: https://i.imgur.com/x0gEyIX.jpg

As and when the waves develop and progress, and in the event of subdividing and extending waves, revised price targets shall be calculated with renewed projections.


Bear Scenario (Alternative)

The alternative bear market scenario suggests the 2019 bull market was a short-lived affair, and PRIMARY[5] terminated as a failed-fifth truncated wave at the 26-JUN-2019 high.

In this scenario, five completed PRIMARY degree waves have completed a CYCLE I wave structure. And now a CYCLE II wave bear market pullback is underway and headed to break below the 2018 low.

—BLX: https://i.imgur.com/c9Ojb57.jpg

The decline from the 26-JUN-2019 high to the 23-OCT-2019 low completed the first leg of the bear market. And now, the first bounce of the bear market may be currently underway retracing towards the following Fibonacci zones, using BITSTAMP prices:

@9810: 38.2% Fibonacci retracement from 26-JUN-2019 to 23-OCT-2019. [MIN] @10590: 50.0% Fibonacci retracement from 26-JUN-2019 to 23-OCT-2019. [AVG] @11365: 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from 26-JUN-2019 to 23-OCT-2019. [AVG] @12470: 78.6% Fibonacci retracement from 26-JUN-2019 to 23-OCT-2019. [MAX] 

Once the bear market bounce completes at any of the aforementioned resistance zones, the next phase of the decline is expected to commence, and break below the 2018 low.

—BTC: https://i.imgur.com/VJNadVv.jpg

At this point in time, the alternative bear market scenario may be paused for consideration whilst price action remains above the 23-OCT-2019 low.

The alternative bear market scenario may be gradually phased-out, step-by-step as follows:

  1. A rising five wave impulsive structure from the 23-OCT-2019 low.
  2. Price advancing beyond the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from 26-JUN-2019 to 23-OCT-2019.
  3. Price exceeding the 26-JUN-2019 high.

BITSTAMP support zones: 8850, 8500, 7230, 5425, 4350 BITSTAMP resistance zones: 9810, 10590, 11365, 12470, 13130, 16260, 17930 

Analysis is purely speculative, and projections are indicative of price & structure, not time. Happy Halloween!

How long does it take for my balance to unlock?

Your balance is unlocked after 10 confirmations (which means 10 mined blocks). A block is mined approximately every two minutes on the Monero network, so that would be around 20 minutes.

How can I prove that I sent a payment?

The fastest and most direct way is by using the ExploreMonero blockchain explorer. You will need to recover the transaction key from your wallet (complete guide for GUI / CLI).

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are dozens of exchanges that trade Monero against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Check out the list on CoinMarketCap and choose the option that suits you best.

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with fiat?

  • Kraken (USD and EUR): old-school, decent exchange. They might require your documents for verification and approval of your account.
  • LocalMonero: peer-to-peer exchange. They have pretty much everything as a payment method and they support hundreds of fiat options.

How can I quickly exchange my Monero (XMR) for Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are multiple ways to exchange your Monero for Bitcoin, but first of all, I'd like to remind you that if you really want to do your part for Monero, one of the simplest ways is to get in touch with your merchant/service provider and request for it to accept Monero directly as payment. Ask the service provider to visit the official website and our communication channels if he or she needs help with system integration.

That being said, the community has been recommending two services in particular, XMR.TO and MorphToken. These services are only recommendations and are operated by entities outside the control of the Monero Project. Be diligent.

How do I mine Monero? And other mining questions.

The correct place to ask questions and discuss the Monero mining scene is in the dedicated subreddit r/MoneroMining. That being said, you can find a list of pools and available mining software in the GetMonero.org website.


2. Wallet: CLI & GUI

Why I can't see my balance? Where is my XMR?

Before any action there are two things to check:

  1. Are you using the latest available version of the wallet? A new version is released roughly every 6 months, so make sure you're using the current release (compare the release on GetMonero.org with your wallet's version on Settings, under Debug info).
  2. Is your wallet fully synchronized? If it isn't, wait the sync to complete.

Because Monero is different from Bitcoin, wallet synchronization is not instant. The software needs to synchronize the blockchain and use your private keys to identify your transactions. Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.

You can't send transactions and your balance might be wrong or unavailable if the wallet is not synced with the network. So please wait.

If this is not a sufficient answer for your case and you're looking for more information, please see this answer on StackExchange.

How do I upgrade my wallet to the newest version?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange.

Why does it take so long to sync the wallet [for the first time]?

You have decided to use Monero's wallet and run a local node. Congratulations! You have chosen the safest and most secure option for your privacy, but unfortunately this has an initial cost. The first reason for the slowness is that you will need to download the entire blockchain, which is considerably heavy (+70 GB) and constantly growing. There are technologies being implemented in Monero to slow this growth, however it is inevitable to make this initial download to run a full node. Consider syncing to a device that has an SSD instead of an HDD, as this greatly impacts the speed of synchronization.

Now that the blockchain is on your computer, the next time you run the wallet you only need to download new blocks, which should take seconds or minutes (depending on how often you use the wallet).

I don't want to download the blockchain, how can I skip that?

The way to skip downloading the blockchain is connecting your wallet to a public remote node. You can follow this guide on how to set it up. You can find a list of public remote nodes on MoneroWorld.

Be advised that when using a public remote node you lose some of your privacy. A public remote node is able to identify your IP and opens up a range for certain attacks that further diminish your privacy. A remote node can't see your balance and it can't spend your XMR.

How do I restore my wallet from the mnemonic seed or from the keys?

To restore your wallet with the 25 word mnemonic seed, please see this guide.

To restore your wallet with your keys, please see this guide.


3. Wallet: Ledger

How do I generate a Ledger Monero Wallet with the GUI or CLI?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange. Check this page for the GUI instructions, and this page for the CLI instructions.


4. Nodes

How can my local node become a public remote node?

If you want to support other Monero users by making your node public, you can follow the instructions on MoneroWorld, under the section "How To Include Your Node On Moneroworld".

How can I connect my node via Tor?
