I do know. It will be less than BTC until 2040.

But the question is: Do you want me to tell you the supply in 2140? Or in 2300? 2500? 3000? Or can you look it up yourself?

You get your information from Binance, a company that proliferated the existence of shitcoinsm? Can't make that shit up, bro.

Monero is disinflationary. The supply increase is currently around 0.8% per year (half of gold and half of BTC) and will only ever shrink from here onwards (the algo is fixed like a fixed supply).

Some coins will get lost every year so actual supply will be even smaller. And it's a trade off the Monero developers are fully aware of. It would have been nice to also limit the supply of Monero to 18 or 21M, but that would have come at a cost of security.

BTC instead needs a fee market to survive in the future and we don't know how or if that will work out 10 or 20 years down the road when block reward tends against 0.

Monero does not rely on a fee market and hence can work as a low fee currency at the base layer, while BTC needs high fees on the base layer which unfortunately discourage the use as digital cash both on L1 and as we have seen recently on L2 (force closes of channels, and people reluctant of opening new channels).

I read the monero whitepaper and snooped all on the site and read stuff and listened.

-Lower inflation than gold; the hardest money for thousands of years (asymptotically approaches 0%)

-Predictable and stable inflation unlike fiat (market can price that in for any point in time you know how much Monero there will be) Easier to plan for the future. No one has unfair insider knowledge or cantillon effect advantage either)

-Every Monero requires expending energy to mine it (i.e. similar to mining gold) PoW just like Bitcoin. No one can arbitrarily print it out of thin air.
