 I'm not buying anything. I'm just following your logic to it's conclusion to see if it makes sense to you.

Dogecoiners from 2020 and before can now buy more stuff than Bitcoiners can to this day. So according to your own argument you should start looking to get more Dogecoin.

This is why hyperfixation on price and trading pairs is dumb and leads to missing the bigger picture and entire value prop of Bitcoin. Especially when the whole ecosystem is hardly 15 years old. A baby. 
 DOGE is a shitcoin with dismissal intraday volume, if you understand market dynamics, it's easy to see that thin markets are more volatile. The fact that Elon cheerleader a shitcoin, which rallied on that hopuim, is not the same as outperforming all tradfi assets on significant volume. There can be no analogy between these. 
Monero cheerleaders look desperate, there's escaping that unless the attitude of these people changes.  
 Now you're changing the argument from "can buy more stuff" to intraday volume and volatility 🥅

Which is kind of ironic considering those are the biggest arguments against Bitcoin from TradFi normies

Really? Everyone in crypto is cheerleading for something here, buddy. You just happen to be doing it entirely for Bitcoin. At least I don't think Monero is the one and only coin and second coming of christ 
 It's more nuanced than a coin went up. I gave you the reason why DOGE went up and tried to explain why one can't draw analogies based on that.

FWIW, I own and use monero too, I just dont cheerlead for it at the expense of Bitcoin because Bitcoin's proposition is not just privacy – anyone with honest attitude can comprehend this simple truth.  
 Ok, I agree with you and that was my point, it is definitely more nuanced than coin X went up or down
