Uniswap and once there is enough holders we can get it listed on some of the smaller CEXs

I understand and respect the value of rejecting price speculation, as it helps maintain a culture focused on the technology and Monero's mission. However, I believe there's a real threat we need to acknowledge: Monero requires higher liquidity than it currently has. A shrinking market cap reduces liquidity, which could jeopardize its utility as a currency.

The anti-moonboy rhetoric in the Monero community is valuable because it keeps us grounded in what truly matters for peer-to-peer cash, rather than short-term profit. But there are challenges that even the best technology can't solve—adoption is a social problem, not just a technical one. For Monero to thrive as a currency, it needs more users who not only accept it but also use it regularly. While price stability is important, long-term price declines are not sustainable for adoption. Monero needs enough exit liquidity and volume to function effectively as a transactional currency.

Adoption leads to the growth of circular economies, which is something we all want for Monero. To make that happen, people need confidence that their holdings will at least keep pace with inflation. The easiest way to achieve this is by increasing demand. More attention on Monero doesn’t mean it will suddenly attract moonboys or turn it into a speculative circus dominated by a figurehead promoting ETFs. Instead, it brings in more people, expanding the anonymity set and increasing its utility as digital cash.

Speculation Isn’t New to Monero

Let’s not forget that speculation has been part of Monero’s history from the beginning. A decade ago, there was a ton of price speculation even within the Monero community. For example:

• A WallStreetBets post from 9 years ago mentions Monero when it was just $0.40.
• A BitcoinTalk forum thread from 2014 openly discusses "XMR Monero speculation."

The subreddit r/MoneroMarkets has been active for nearly a decade, serving as a space for discussing Monero price action. Countless threads show how speculation has been part of the conversation, especially back in 2015 when the subreddit was filled with posts hyping Monero strictly based on price movements.

Price action has never been a forbidden topic in Monero’s history. It’s something the community has navigated thoughtfully without compromising the project’s values. It’s not something we must avoid like the plague.

Speculation Isn’t Inherently Bad

Speculation isn’t inherently bad—it’s how many of us, even within this community, first discovered our favorite projects. While extra attention won't magically turn the community into a bunch of moonboys screaming "WHEN LAMBO", it will attract individuals who are the right fit for this community and its values. Normies aren’t going to do the work it would take to ruin a community. The bar for engagement and culture has been solidified; Monero’s culture is a decade old and mature at this point.

Caring for Monero’s Future

I know we might not see eye to eye on this, but please understand that I care deeply about Monero and have for years. Everything I’m suggesting comes from a place of wanting the best for Monero and its long-term success. Monero has already demonstrated its resilience. Years of deplatforming have had an antifragile effect, making it stronger. We really could use more work on outreach to those already not already in the know. A memecoin from a community known for anime art isn't going to derail Monero's mission. If anything, it could amplify awareness and attract the kinds of users who will help it grow.
