it's worth noting that the price floor has risen. but that's about it.

This event is the third time in more than a decade. Price increases are OK to raise value and attention. This is also needed, to break through the current difficulty to acquire Monero nowadays with all the restrictions imposed silently since last year.

I use these things primarily to determine what's going on in the world, where capital flows and therefore sentiment in the crypto world is. Price moves themselves matter little to me.
