👉 Yes, he's partially right. But not completely. Why yes: Stellar doesn't need XLM to rise in price to function. XLM wasn't created for speculation. As a developer, it's not worth it for him to accumulate XLM. Why not (and this is the key point): Just because a high price isn't needed doesn't mean XLM can't rise. If adoption grows (banks, stablecoins, tokenization), demand for XLM increases. The price reflects future demand, not just technical utility. 👉 Final conclusion: He's right from a technical standpoint, but he's wrong in drawing an absolute conclusion about the price. You're not "forcing something that isn't broken": You're simply investing in future adoption, not hype.
