Monero is digital cash, it's not like a business that provides goods/services. IMO you should use Monero as cash like it was designed for, and investments should limited to entities that actually turn profits by selling things.

Monero won't go to the office every Monday to make money for you, but every company in the S&P 500 will.

side-trips[m]: If you want to try "investing" in BTC, go for it, I guess. Don't gamble more than you can afford to lose. I'd treat Monero as money, because that's what it's meant to be -- once true of BTC, but maybe not at this point.

Has anyone bought a prepaid mastercard on CakePay today?

I bought mine like 12 hours ago and I'm still not receiving the email

I kinda need it to pay for my airbnb rn lol

Maybe try support or mr vik

Even cash isn't "just cash" anymore though, right? I just mean the situation seems a bit more complicated--things are geographically specific(gov mandated?), but veritably interconnected as well. Isn't this "xmr is just cash functioning as cash" a little tough to chew on for some? Maybe I should research the history of cash? Would it be wrong to call xmr superior (private-er)cash? Anti-cash would be incorrect?

Yeah monero is superior to credit cards and paper moner too in a lot of ways, but all of its advantages are focused on making it a great currency.

Monero makes no attempt at all to be a good investment. It won't pay out dividends to shareholders or buy back its own shares to pump price up. It doesn't even have any revenue to distribute in the first place. It's just a currency.

If you want an investment, you should buy shares of profitable ventures. Stuffing cash (or monero) under your mattress is not a strong "investment" strategy in my opinion.

Paper money*

Bad management...sovereign risk, price of comodity..all has fucked me. Everyone wants privacy..

*went from 50 to 500

All these "monero is not an investment" posts ignore that as monero's usage grows its demand should increase too. Thus the same monero will have more purchasing power.

Yes monero might not be a "company stock" but it is an asset that is going through monetization, and in these cases, people who move early can get big returns.

Monero can be used as a store of value, in this regard. And it should be. We shouldn't let go of one of the pillars of being money (unit of account, medium of exchange, store of value).

Bitcoin is a liability.

(newbie) Im looking swap LTC to XMR - I installed Atomic Wallet on Linux - If I succeed in this, is it s a good idea to leave XMR in Atomic Wallet, or should I use the official Monero Wallet?

s/Wallet/GUI/

k4r4b3y: reason? should I exchange within Atomic Wallet, and then send to Monero GUI?

atomic wallet? how do ppp go looking for a wallet, then settle on some unknown, not recommended by anybody, wallet

stackwallet

cakewallet

featherwallet

monero gui

jet wallet

idk how basicswap is looking but still seems to be one of the better implemented solutions

It's me or #monero-community:monero.social kinda dead?

Traitors enjoying a may vacation probably

RavFX[m]: dead how?

dead as totally empty with just people constantly "joining and leaving"

IRC bridge is down / under maintainance

is Belgium a good place to live & does the government respect their citizen freedom & privacy?

and infinity_loading too

864 people were remove, about 1.5k remain. Matrix doesn't like these large changes

mlcboss[m]: hard to say, lacking comparison. Average for central Europe maybe?

oh, that's an irc channel, I see. Thanks for info

ceetee[m]: Matrix server stuff heavy bloated, not surprised.

anyone live in Mexico , cause i want to move there soon

i kinda like Mexico warm and free their food is also good

mlcboss did you go to monerotopia or #monero-offtopic:monero.social

ohh so this room is for XMR only

correct

does anybody know what could be causing error Failed to query m_blocks: MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid when trying to run monerod?

Corrupted blockchain? 😔monero.stackexchange.com/a/6599

how could the blockchain get corrupted?

do you think it could be fault of hard drive?

xfedex[m]: Yea

i had same issue a few days ago

if i run monerod using systemd, is there any way i can make it shut down safely?

aka, when i shutdown my pc it gives ^C signal to monerod and waits for exit

Mine corrupted while running

Can see here it was running for hrs, then started blocking all of my peers and refusing to sync from block 2878604

No idea. But its been a while since db corruption reports

Hello. What is wrong with my monerod? It stucks at %99. and i'm starting to see monerod is now disconnected from the network and Host x.x.x.x blocked at the end. Please check last outputs: paste.rs/ZDV

i removed data and started sync from beginning. nothing changed. and im also at the latest monero cli.

Wish it was a bit quicker to resync

I suppose it’s possible I had the same thing and it wasn’t the hdd disconnect - since it was pretty much same time

I’m at 98% done in just under 24 hrs

are there any way to handle this problem? checked search engines no lucky return exists

Testes my nodes just to be sure, seam OK

"Find the Best 2023 Meme coins to invest in"... this is "news" these days

pathetic

But meme coins are the best pump and dump coins (that's what there designed for). You just have to dump before THE dump

trading meme coins feels horribly dry

The only purpose is pump and dump. And coins dev have coins since the beginning and will rugpull, garantee

its how devs teams raise vc money for their vaporware
