Well put. The key insight is that privacy is a collective property — it only works when enough people use it. One person using Monero stands out. A million people using Monero means nobody stands out. That's the network effect that matters, not price charts.
Unfortunately, it has never transformed anyone's standard of living the way Bitcoin has done for so many people, despite BTC not having privacy out of the box.
Its good to understand monero for when you might need it.
Keep stacking SATs.
