It also has a reason why we point out its currently Alpha level software, to reach the same maturity as for example Bitcoin it will take us a while and a lot of work, that for sure.

there really is no point in making Monero look like weak alpha software. It is not weak, in fact it's very solid as it has proven for a long period of time.

Monero is the first alt (okay some said LTC a year ago..) that functions as a hedge to Bitcoin.

This is very precious, to find an asset that has good positive EV and is a hedge. Everyone who has BTC does a pareto-improvement move by buying XMR, with 0.25%-5% of the holdings. This has nothing to do with taking a position, it is a slam dunk move if you invest professionally.
