Maxis be like
#monero derangement syndrome. It's the only explanation.

Discussion
I keep that energy at the end of the year.
The only explanation lol sure ok buddy, as you cherry pick your time window. Plenty of explanations to pick from. I'm glad Monero is doing well, but it's not all unicorn farts and rainbows. The real world is complex and to some extent so are Bitcoin maxis' theories about it. Maybe this is a little tit for tat but if I were you I'd seek more challenging questions.
Obviously I was being facetious with that specific comment.
But sure, here are some questions:
1. Why is this guy parroting maxi slogans like "HFSP" at a time where XMR not just overperformed BTC, but trounced it?
2. Is he capable of understanding that people who are not zealots and like Monero also hold Bitcoin? Probably not, since their religion only permits them to hold the one true asset™, lest their purity be stained and lest them be cast away from the cult, so they project, and assume it's the same on the "other side".
3. How can anyone still think Bitcoin is the resistance, when Blackrock, banks and Governments now openly embrace it?
4. How can anyone not understand why the above entities not only NOT endorse #monero, they loathe, fear and despise it?
5. Given the above, should they perhaps reexamine some of their most cherished beliefs?
Now you're talking!! See those points really make a bitcoiner stop to think.
Unfortunately, no, they don't. They just block you, so the circlejerk can continue.
But I hear you man, I hear you.
People who are as technically ignorant as Laser should avoid opining on the benefits provided by Monero
Also really confusing why you would pick now to suggest that it isn't a good investment
If we're pretending to compare apples to apples then let's chart this the way everything should and will be charted...
Is Bitcoin your unit of account?
Maybe one day, for me it isn't. It's still too volatile (and that's a good thing for our bags, but a bad thing for a UoA).
Do you look at fiat values when you do Bitcoin operations? I do, everyone does, you probably do too.
So the BTC/XMR chart is less interesting, as the value of either side of the pair is not reliable enough to think about.
So I look at the USD charts, which makes a lot of sense, since that is how I gauge the cost of things in real life. And most likely, it is the same for you.
Point stands. Save in #Bitcoin.
You know, I don't even disagree, but you ignored every point I made and every question I asked.
It is important to understand why #monero exists. Unless you have a total fiat mindset and only care about NGU.
You don't have to hodl it, you don't even have to use it, but if you don't even understand why it exists and why people use it and sing its praises, you just come across as ignorant.
This used to be self-evident in the old days. Every other BTC OG I know knows, uses and respects Monero. But now the people who get it are lost in a sea of noise, and the fact that the bitcoin maxis are rewarded monetarily doesn't help, they confirm their biases as their bags get heavier.
And if you really stop and think that through, that's a superficial fiat mindset, nothing more.
The argument for #monero is technical and philosophical, not ngu.
As Bitcoin used to be. As it still is for some people.
But Bitcoin lacks a critical property on the L1, and Monero covers that lack nicely.
And sure, you may argue it's better this way because of reliability, which I personally disagree with, but not entirely. And anyway, at this point it would be too big a change to introduce in Bitcoin.
So, guess what.
Two tools, and they complement each other. I use both for different purposes, and yes, I use LN too.
To outright dismiss something as powerful as Monero (L1 fungible digital cash) is narrow-minded. Just as narrow-minded as the normies who dismiss Bitcoin without understanding it.
And maybe more, because you guys ought to know better.
"but Bitcoin number go up"
Bitcoin is my unit of account. I already live in the "hyper bitcoinized" world. I work for corn, spend in corn and dca my savings into cold storage.
I have unshackled my mind from the fiat mind control. I do not look at fiat or think in fiat in my mental model, operations or calculations. I measure my success by how much corn balance sheet increases by.
all that chart means is more degens are speculating on Bitcoin.
still fiat bullshit.
