Well, if I mention XMR, I begin to feel attacked right off the back. So stay humble does not work in this case.
If I told you, the dollar (originally, silver certificate) and during the Roman Empire they used silver more often than gold to transact. I'm labeled as a shitcoiner.
Why not treat ETH like silver? XMR like copper? And X as bronze? This was common in history and were easily convertible to gold when you accumulated enough. These metals didn't take value away from the economy. You need copper in computers, phones, and electronics. YES, you can use gold, but it's more expensive. just as an example.
People gonna take me "stop using oil," but forget oil is needed to make everything. Clothes, chairs, cars, cameras, cookware etc (as a commodity reference)
I also own some ETH. I think variety is the spice of life - BTC n ETH fulfill different purposes for our daily needs.
I also wanted to share that you can put a copper coin inside your shoes to remove the odour haha
