I have begun measuring my net worth in Monero, and the dollar is just a currency I use in small amounts in order to get the things I need day to day, but I do not hold dollars in any significant quantity. I don’t want them. When I receive dollars, I keep just enough around to pay for my normal expenses and get rid of the rest into Monero as fast as possible. It’s somewhat difficult to do right now, but I can even do some expenses in my head directly in Monero without thinking of the dollar at all for what an item would cost. And that mental shift is a big step away from the dollar.

Just as a quick example of what I mean is that I absolutely would not pay more than four Monero for a phone, no matter what phone it was, and I would much rather pay closer to one Monero for a decent mid-range device.
