The funny thing is that you guys also take the BTC/XMR chart for your arguments. This chart says absolute nothing. Most XMR guys go directly from Fiat shitcoin into Monero 😉

You should take a look at the shoos and check the used payment methods. XMR leads on some of them. More ppl are realize that Bitcoin is a system coin now.

But I agree with you. If you are in for more fiat money and give a shot about privacy and shaking hands with governments, than you are on the right way with Bitcoin. As freedom money Bitcoin has lost with its current status.

When it comes to store of value. Value is always a very individual thing. For one person BTC is a store of value when this person still thinks in fiat and want to gain more fiat. If the person is freedom and privacy seeking the value is fungibility, that the coin is untraceable etc.

You also should take a closer look at the Bitcoin devs gatekeeper 😉

I believe Amir Taaki already said a lot about them. If you don't know him, he was one of the first Bitcoin devs and created the first BIP. He gave up on Bitcoin like many other privacy guys.

To act as currency it doesn't need to have a max supply, it needs a controlled supply. Big difference.
