We all want more purchasing power. Bitcoin gives you more purchasing power. You’d be able to buy more stuff today if you saved in bitcoin.

And that wouldn't be a bad thing at all, except for the privacy implications. It makes it a total non-starter.
Dude if you get $100 worth of bitcoin non kyc, it’ll sit in one address. Next month you can get another $100 in bitcoin that will sit in a different address. They are not linked together so no one knows your net worth. The amount will never change. No one knows it belongs to you except the seller and that’s only if the seller knows who you are. You can leave it there for 10 years and nothing will happen to your privacy. Then when you want to spend it, swap for monero.
Right, and I ended up sending you another reply and just saying that if you want to save in Bitcoin and spend in Monero, then I see no problem with that. But it's personally not the way I've chosen to do things.
To be fair though, if you want to save in Bitcoin and spend in Monero, that is perfectly acceptable. It's just not acceptable for me.
Taxes will diminish your purchasing power. That's why rich dudes store value in offshore banks giving a fuck about inflation.
Everything is relative.
