If I answer you no then I'll be lying. Even though my hope is for us to see 1 btc equivalent to 1 btc some day with the price of fiat mean nothing to us, the current movement of the price still gives us the indication in how well accepted btc is and its demand. I do agree with your reasoning but until the I will still closely follow the btc price movement.
Honestly yes, we don't need to be hypocrite, everyone likes to have a high market value of bitcoin so that the exchange of it in money will be also high. As a investor, value and being profitable is the major reason why the investors invest. And addition, value is the reason why bitcoin has a lot of users and why it is become popular all over the world.
