Again, I am VERY much a layman on the topic, but it seems to me that people that care about what #Monero is worth in USD might actually be retarded or they are purposely missing the point.

I have only seen Monero advocates on here state that the best thing to do is SPEND in Monero, and SAVE in #Bitcoin. I am researching more and learning more slowly each day and this concept fascinates me.

Stacking any crypto for “number go up” is inherently the incorrect way to think about it. Buying Bitcoin just for that purpose means you are still thinking only in USD with a Fiat mindset; which defeats the purpose of the creation of crypto in the first place.

If you hold to the position that Fiat is inherently worthless and constantly getting debased (which it is), it doesn’t make sense to me to care about Bitcoin’s price in USD (or any other crypto) UNLESS you specifically bought some just to cash out for Fiat in the future.

Monero seems to have everything needed for a private checking, and Bitcoin has everything needed for a (very) high-yield savings.
