Looking at the recent XMR market, I really think it’s a bit like the early days of Bitcoin. This thing could reach 100,000 USD in the future, and it’s not just a dream.

Three similarities are particularly obvious. First, they both gained popularity because of their core attributes — Bitcoin was driven by the decentralization concept back then, and XMR is driven by privacy needs. Both were initially recognized within small circles before reaching the mainstream. Second is market performance: when mainstream coins are consolidating, XMR suddenly surges, with volume and price skyrocketing — the rhythm is completely different. The most interesting point is the third: the less regulatory authorities favor it, the more it tends to rise. Those bans and warnings inadvertently create excuses for price increases. The greater the pressure, the stronger the resilience — this logic is quite mysterious in the crypto world.
