KEY TOPICS
Starting August 23, when Bithumb began to accept deposits from Monero traders, the price of Monero surged, even before the exchange fully listed the cryptocurrency. [12] The price hike followed an announcement that South Korean exchange Bithumb would soon add monero as a trading pair. [9] While it's often hard to pin down the underlying causes of price fluctuations, news that South Korean exchange Bithumb is soon to launch trading in monero may be in part responsible. [13]

[9] The price of monero, the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency created in 2014, shot up sharply this morning, shattering its previous record by around $35. [9] Monero grabbed headlines last week when it saw at 80% value increase in one day, as the price per coin rocketed from $35 up to $95. [9] Because it handles around $700 million worth of trades on a daily basis, the integration of Monero by Bithumb is expected to be an immediate and drastic increase in liquidity for Monero traders, users and investors. [12] Monero was able to rise by 22 percent earlier today due to upward momentum supported by Bithumb and optimistic traders in Asia. [12]
I hear there's going to be a fee on monero on bithumb when it comes out. [1]
Users can meet and exchange monero for cash, or buy it online from a local seller. [9] By taking advantage of ring signatures, Monero makes it ambiguous which funds have been spent, and thus extremely unlikely that a transaction could be linked to particular user. [14] BTC's greatest asset is store-of-value but Monero is superior in all ways for day-to-day transactions. [14]
Monero, the world’s second largest anonymous cryptocurrency, is up 22 percent again today, on August 26.

This means you won't have to worry about Monero blacklisted by exchanges or vendors. [14] On a side note this price hike makes mining Monero on Ether mining rigs competitive. [14] Making monero easier to use is key to massive influx of users. [14] The whole reason i made the purchase is i felt its good for the economy to use monero. [14] It's still very very cheap IMO. Monero has tech nobody else has, a real use case, and growing recognition. [14] In June, the Shadowbrokers announced that they were now accepting Monero for payments for their "Monthly Dump Service." [2] Because of the on-by-default nature of the privacy technologies, Monero is fungible, meaning one Monero will always be equal to another. [14] That's not to say Monero will correct all the way down to 0.0115 or that it isn't a good coin. [14] For many years, Monero has been regarded as one of the few cryptocurrencies that is highly legitimate, backed by an experienced and talented development team. [12] The Monero development and community have shown unity since it forked off from Bytecoin, with almost all of its hard forks executed without any contention amongst developers, community members, industry and miners. [12] Community is everything, and the more I read the more I fall in-love with Monero. [1] Here's what I do: if I make a purchase and pay with Monero, I then buy back the same amount of Monero. well, sometimes almost as much. [14] I wasn't able to buy more monero beforehand due to bank issues. [14] Monero can't be hacked to steal your funds, due to the power of distributed consensus, which you can read about here. [14] Like I said nothing suggested Monero would rise like this overnight. [14] I knew Monero had bad penetration into the Asian market so 2 weeks ago I told her that she needs to write to them to ask them to add Monero.[14] Look at what the Koreans did to BCH, just imaging the influence they could have on Monero. [14] One monero token was worth around $128 at press time, according to CoinMarketCap. [9] Especially if they buy a shit ton of Monero before announcing that they will list it. [14] Tomorrow, as Bithumb completes its last phase of integration and opens Monero trading, the price of Monero will likely surge once again. [12] Monero trading is set to commence on August 27, according to an announcement by the exchange. [13]
Monero is a awesome project, very complementary than BCH IMHO. [1] The most important thing is that I think that Monero is covered for the long term now. [14]
The power of the blockchain usually increases security at the cost of privacy, but with Monero's sophisticated privacy-centric technology, you get all of the security benefits of the blockchain without any of the privacy trade-offs. [14]
Korea-based bitcoin and cryptocurrency company Bithumb announced today that they will be opening up the exchange to Monero starting on August 23rd. [15] Knowing how a market works, sometimes it is really hard to pinpoint what was the reason for this sudden change in price, but here one of that factors that effected the fluctuation could be that the South Korean exchange Bithumb did enlist Monero in their infrastructure. [16] Lastly, to welcome Monero joining the exchange, Bithumb will be rewarding the top 50 biggest traders in terms of volume through midnight August 26th thru August 27th, with 100 XMR on hand to be given out. [15] Monero tapered a bit the following day but resumed its rally on August 25 when Bithumb began accepting XMR deposits.

[16] On August 23, they will begin accepting Monero deposits, and they will hold a special trading promotion through August 27. [18]
Monero is not the only coin currently experiencing a trading volume surge on Bithumb. [17] Bithumb traders have a history of pumping coins, so don't be surprised if Monero continues to ascend to new records this week. [17] Last week, the rally began when Bithumb announced it was about to add support for Monero to its cryptocurrency exchange. [17] The primary factor influencing this rapid advance was the announcement that Bithumb, the world's highest-volume cryptocurrency exchange, had decided to list Monero to its platform. [19]
Monero is a cryptocurrency that aims to be more anonymous than Bitcoin, and has become a recent favorite of the online drug trade. [11] Bitcoin STRONG, Monero STRONGER I love this chart of Monero right now against Bitcoin, XMRBTC Bitcoin/Dollar is incredibly strong, but Monero is showing strength against Bitcoin, when most coins are weak against BTC right now. [20] He simply believes that Monero is better than Bitcoin and that a local option to buy the currency was needed since Bitcoin already has one. [11] To purchase Monero, you may have to first use Bitcoin, leaving a clear digital trail. [11] Last year, the dark web black market Alphabay enabled users to accept payments in monero as an alternative to bitcoin. [21] Last year, AlphaBay, one of the biggest drug markets at the time added Monero as a payment option. [11]
This move will enable Monero to break into the lucrative South Korean markets and gives XMR its first KRW trading pair. [19] Other methods of trading Monero, such as on a cryptocurrency exchange, may require you to reveal your identity. [11]
Unlike Bitcoin transactions, Monero trades aren't plainly viewable on a public ledger.

[11] Monero Looking To Continue Flying The Flag Monero has been a megabull of late, making some long overdue moves to solidify itself as one of the premiere alt coins. [20] Unlike other cryptocurrencies, monero was designed to be more private, so it is completely anonymous and virtually untraceable. [21] 'LocalMonero' wants buying Monero to be even more anonymous. [11] News like this could drive the privacy-conscious toward anonymity-centric altcoins such as Monero, Dash, and Zcash. [19] At present, Monero needs to add about $270 million to surpass ethereum classic and re-enter the market cap top 10. [18] This marked another important milestone for privacy-centric Monero, which has been on a year-long bull run that began when the now-defunct darknet market AlphaBay began accepting it as payment in August 2016. [19] During the month's first three weeks, Monero mostly tracked the wider market movement, rising to $54 on August 21.

Monero is a secure, untraceable and resilient digital currency. [10] "Monero's defining feature is privacy, so going through ID/address verification kind of ifies the point of using Monero unless you're just using it as a speculative asset," Alex wrote to me. [11]

What if you could buy Monero offline, with cash, in a public place like a library or a restaurant? That would make Monero transactions much more anonymous, save for the person you're meeting. [11] In that case, the LocalMonero founders will simply fade back into the ether, like a Monero transaction conducted with cash. [11]
This rally increased Monero's market cap to $1.2 billion, making it the record-setting 11th cryptocurrency to join the $1 billion club. [18] When Monero is mentioned, drug markets on the darknet aren't far behind. [11]
