Its not a fiat metric but basic idea that a medium of exchange appreciates in value, be it fiat, basket if groceries or an ounce of gold. Bitcoin's primarily goal is to detach the state from the money issuance – as evidenced by the inscription in the genesis block. Privacy, while a very important aspect of it, was never the only thing that mattered. Monero folks always leave this side of the coin unmentioned while eagerly accenting how bitcoin is shit and monero where it's at because it's more privacy focused.
You mentioned Bitcoin increased in fiat shitcoin terms – I'm saying it's an increase in value, not only in fiat but in everything. Bitcoins buy more moneros today than yestrday. It's a shitty counter arguement used by Monero folks all the time.

You can buy whatever you want, no shame in that. But you can't cheerlead an alt without looking desperate. Bitcoin is not just about privacy, it's more about printer go brr. If you, the monero cheerleaders, can't grasp your heads around that, there's nothing to be discussed further.
