I cry about the loss of privacy, not about my Bitcoin stack making another x10.
You seem to not understand that. BTC adoption is far worse than keeping cash around.
I can convert to cash from both Bitcoin and Monero at all times. I am out of the fiat world since 2013, so I couldn't care less if it is hyperinflating or not. I would use cash over BTC any time.
But privacy is something that if its lacking will kill society for good.
Somethings we are fighting for bigger things than our personal gains.
