· 2026-08-23T21:23:28+00:00Zecash for perp upnl Monero for drugs and hitmen
AI visual analysis: A weekly candlestick chart of the XMR/ZEC trading pair on CRYPTOCAP shows Monero's value in Zcash terms, peaking near 4.52 ZEC before collapsing to around 0.55 ZEC over a roughly one-year period. The post's juxtaposition of "Zecash for perp upnl" (perpetual futures unrealized profit/loss) and "Monero for drugs and hitmen" humorously contrasts the speculative trading use of ZEC with Monero's notorious reputation for privacy and illicit activity — which may explain why traders prefer hedging positions in ZEC rather than holding XMR directly.

· 2026-08-23T21:12:53.907000+00:00Monero in times of crisis I think there will be a huge economic crisis, specially in Europe. I think that for multiple reasons, mainly because the automation of white collar jobs will cause many people losing their jobs, which will cause more people to lose their jobs which will ultimately and even worse make this people more likely to radicalize in socialist/communist ideas that will end up in more control from the state. As an example: we are living a housing crisis in many cities of Europe for multiple reasons. What do you think most people do? Build more to satisfy the huge demand? Hell no. Most people now think that tourists and “devil companies” are artificially inflating the prices. What do they propose? Of course more taxes and more financial persecution to every home owner that owns more than x homes.

· 2026-08-23T10:00:12.811000+00:00Skepticism Sunday – August 23, 2026 Please stay on topic: this post is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero. NOT the positive aspects of it. Discussion can relate to the technology itself or economics. Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well. Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.
