Monero, the Drug Dealer's Cryptocurrency of Choice, Is on Fire

Alphabay told Bitcoin Magazine last month that the currency now accounts for about two percent of its sales.
API leaks and talkin it up with reporters? Wanna know where all the noobs come from? How much monero would it take for them to sell all the info to the FBI? There's even a fucking heroine listing from AB pictured in the article. I wonder if they let BigMuscles do the interview.
After Alphabay and a smaller dark web black market, known as Oasis, integrated the cryptocurrency last summer, its value immediately increased around six-fold.
That's supposed to be re-assuring?

It's not really on fire. When valued in BTC it's 20% down on it's 30 day high. It's even worse when valued against fiat.
It was on fire around the time of the recent BTC bubble. It was gaining value faster than BTC for a couple of weeks as their values are closely linked... but just as BTC suddenly had a fall, monero took a big loss too.

monero is only good for pumping and dumping, literally - these articles come out after the writers have invested their life savings, they watch monero go up $3-4 and they dump it and the cycle repeats. ive done the shit myself - if you aren't in the know on this, consider it a present

Don't be left behind everyone..
"Crypto currency of choice" said no one ever. Wired and vice articles are so full of shit and terribly written. I wonder what credentials you need to write for them?
