Stellar XLM burnt half of their total supply to help boost the current XML market price. But I'm afraid the people are no longer interested on buying Stellar XML. People tend to focus on what is selling, the most profitable coin in the market and as of now it is bitcoin.
Bitcoin is always the most profitable, stellar goes up and down by mere cents or fractions of cents. When bitcoin moves, hundreds, or even thousands of dollars can be gained or lost. Not to mention that it still controls what other coins do. So yeah, regardless of what happens to stellar price, i think bitcoin is the way to go for anyone who doesn't want to experience second-hand market behavior.
