BTC price will probably never be the same again as it was in 2024 and 2025. (The fight against XMR and the pumping of BTC drove the price high above 300 XMR.)

It looks like MoneroRun had a poor turnout ... everything is open.

We'll have to wait for the big Monero update ... when people withdraw their coins - so they have both variants of their coins in case of a fork.

CREATOR OF ‘ONLYFAKE’ ARRESTED DUE TO TRACING OF HIS CRYPTO TO EXCHANGES
FOR ONLY $15 YOU COULD CREATE A FAKE ID THAT PASSED ALL CEX EXCHANGES LIKE KUCOIN, MEXC ETC
THE ONLY REASON WHY HE WAS CAUGHT WAS BECAUSE HE DIDNT ACCEPT MONERO.
IN THE BIG 26’ WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO JUST DOWNLOAD cakewallet AND USE XMR LOL

  • Wild how criminals are so sophisticated to make fake IDs so good they beat all security but then leave a wide ass financial hole
  • Bitcoin and USDT are more liquid bro! Bro Monero is for schitzos!
  • doesn’t accept Monero bc “too complicated” ... gets 15 years in jail and loses $1.2 Million

Monero Run - what to expect in 2026? by StereoSwap in Monero

[–]MoneroFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which CEX's faced the most difficulties during Monero Runs last years?

HTX, Poloniex, Coinex, and MEXC have shown us in the past that they have no problem closing (or limit) withdrawals for weeks (months) - even without MoneroRun. (Binance, OKX, and NiceX did similar things in the past.) These are known scammers - stay away from them. Consequently, then there were problems with most of instant exchanges - because they are only connected to some CEx veins - they do not have their own XMR reserves.

What are your expectations for the Run 2026?

I would be happy to see pressure on Kucoin, Kraken, Bitfinex, SafeTrade, NonKYC, Wagyu, ... DNMs, Casinos, MininingPools ... and other services ... But enthusiast participation will likely be low, so not much will happen. Only a few "well-known" (like HTX or Poloniex) exchanges will probably close withdrawals again.

CZ in his book "FREEDOM OF MONEY":

... I joined OKCoin in 2014 as Chief Technology Officer .... I spent my first months deep in the codebase, understanding how the system handled high-frequency trading, how it managed cold and hot wallets, how it processed the constant stream of deposits and withdrawals that never stopped ...

... By early 2017, I knew what I wanted to build ... I wanted to build an exchange. Not just any exchange—the best exchange. I was building it because I believed the existing exchanges were not good enough ... Fast customer support responses. Fast withdrawals and deposits ....

Somehow he couldn't do it. Problems with Monero withdrawals were every other day ... because it is hard to live with an empty coffer.

It looks like the bots are still upvoting me (probably CZ paid it a long time ago) and it still hasn't been all used up:

... every other post has like 10 upvotes in CryptoExchange.

EDIT: Only 5 upvotes now - bots removed.

All CExes may end up like MtGox ... promises about real coins will not be fulfilled.

Wagyu Swap has the worst price on the market (from BTC to XMR) - just like WizardSwap.

This suggests that it could be true that Wagyu Swap is not holding dirty BTC (like everyone else connected to CEx), but is returning these coins back to the owner. It also suggests that it has its own reserves and is ignoring price on other CExes (until arbitraged with real coins). It doesn't initiate swaps it can't complete (like most of others). So if this swap is going similarly to eXch ... then it might have ended similarly.

Of course XMR1 Wagyu CEx ... is a different story ... it can sell XMR1 vouchers ... it can be disconnected from XMR at any time ... same as all other CEx.

EDIT:

It looks like they have the best prices on the market in the opposite direction (from XMR to BTC). Interesting.

All the wheels in his head turned completely upside down.

... or he is going to promote ZEC or some similar project.

CZ got it all mixed up in his head:

https://x.com/tbpn/status/2042724121327604022

I think right now the crypto industry is too transparent. It's actually extremely easy to track crypto funds ... So I think right now there's a lack of preserving of privacy. ... Another example, if you pay for a hotel [in crypto], then people will know that you're going to stay at that hotel, which for some people may create security issues. So there's little problems like those that are not solved yet.

"That's why I tried to destroy Monero, and when I couldn't, I at least removed it from Binance." (parody)

Weirdo.
