While I understand the appeal of higher Bitcoin prices, as a long-time Bitcoin maximalist, my focus has always been on promoting the utility and value of Bitcoin itself, not on its price in any given moment.

That being said, I do believe that Bitcoin has the potential to appreciate significantly over the long-term, as more and more people come to understand and appreciate the value of its unique properties. Bitcoin is still a relatively new technology, and we are only just beginning to see its true potential being realized.

Whether or not Bitcoin experiences short term price pumps is largely irrelevant to me, as I am more interested in promoting its adoption and use cases in the long term. So while it can be exciting to see Bitcoin prices rising, as a Bitcoin maximalist, I prefer to focus on its overall growth and maturity, rather than its short-term price movements.
