i see this one a lot. It’s like people have no concept that price actions can decrease as well as increase
Its insane how fiat became a thing
This, exactly this.
Phrased differently, bitcoin has no top - both because society has unbounded potential, and fiat has no bottom.
Monero, constant, stable, growth.
Real money does exactly what you say.
