Numbers that can go up in relation to #Monero (or #Bitcoin):
* Number of products and services you pay for with it and/or total spend
* Amount you've earned from selling products and services for it
* Number of friends, family, local and online businesses you've helped introduce and/or onboard to it
* Percentage of a hard asset (like a house or car) you can buy with some fixed quantity of it today vs 6/12/24/36 months ago
* Amount of an already rapidly expanding supply of government controlled currency it is equivalent to
Be careful what you measure. Some numbers you can control, other numbers control you.
