I think over the next 12 months we need to make a move to divorce the primary Monero rate from BTC/XMR to USD/XMR.
In time the goal is for Monero movements to be independent of bitcoin's, so we need to slowly adopt the mindset of Monero not being tied to Bitcoin price.
Why USD, not euro or GBP or yuan or yen or...BTC? Why does it need to be tied to anything?
