 So gold is a shitcoin right? Do you know what a hedge is? The price of valuable assets will go up as the dollar loses buying power. Monero price does not go up because it is not valuable. 

The “pump” shows that usd is losing buying power. It also shows that Monero is losing buying power. 
 Ok I don't want to talk about price but if you insist, in 10 years Monero start at $0 and now it's around $160, I mean stop about the price it's just an indicator, Silver is valuable like Gold but he's far from it's ATH, there is many things to consider about the price. Bitcoin goes up because institutional are buying, states will probably follow but you know, it's just because they want, if they prefer Ethereum or Dogecoin or Monero or anything else Bitcoin will not pump like that. Gold is valuable, Bitcoin is valuable, anything is valuable, I believe Gold & Silver are the only wealth, the rest is debt, stocks are debt, crypto are debt, houses are debt etc. Depends on you, if you think Bitcoin is better than Gold ok, maybe maybe not, the market is telling Bitcoin is more valuable but it can change later, saying Bitcoin will go the moon is stupid, we can't know what will happen next. I'm not against Bitcoin, I just think Monero is far better as the original purpose, and Bitcoin can't be digital Gold, it's stupid by definition. I see a price for Bitcoin but I don't see any value in it, maybe I'm wrong, maybe not, who knows ? Am I retard ? I was in Bitcoin 10 years ago, it was different, no moonboys, no KYC, no regulations. Now Bitcoin is becoming an extension of the traditional banking system, the final stage will be transactions censorship, it's possible and I think it will be later because transactions are public, Monero on the other hand can't be censored because every transactions are anonymous, nodes & miners don't know who send to who nor the amount, I see a real value here, especially with CBDC to come. I don't care about the price, having some funds over the internet that can't be censored or traced by authorities, even if I don't do anything wrong, having financial privacy is good.
