To quote Seth, I am not a monero maxi, I am a freedom maxi.

Bitcoin has a key role by being on exchanges, as XMR will be delisted someday

This being said, I encourage you to learn about all your options and technology.  As again, my goal is getting people off banks.  The whole inflation/saving thing is only one of many benefits. 

 Basically you can keep bitcoin for the "money goes up" thing, but in real world it is only monero that is used nowadays for purchases.

Anything else is just not safe for either the buyer or the seller.
