Nope, Monero's supply still grows infinitely, while Bitcoin is objectively hard-capped. I also practice self-custody on all my wallets, so all the problems you list don't apply to me. If you are someone who leaves your BTC on exchanges or custodial wallets, that's on you.

And of course Monero's full blockchain will be less space than Bitcoin's, since Monero is younger. If Monero ever scales, watch as those big blocks make it impossible for anyone other than the government and corpos to run full nodes, from which they can change the rules of Monero as they please.

It's not gonna matter how "private" it might be, Monero will be the next fiat. I'll stick to the hard-capped coin that is actually listed on exchanges, and is being adopted by Square, CashApp, Rumble, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Around the world, etc.

how is an emission that always decreases as a % of total supply "infinite"?

at what point in time is the monero supply "infinite"?

"How is 2% inflation every year a devaluation of the dollar"?

Also, if you can't sustainably compensate miners enough for expending power to solve a block, then no one is gonna mine on your network. Perhaps that's why Bitcoin's hashrate has only increased exponentially while Monero's hash is currently a rounding error of Bitcoin's.

they're different algorithms so it doesn't make any sense to compare them

and because the dollar is *centrally issued by a cabal of 3rd parties*

it's considered "infinite"

that is NOT true for Monero,

so your analogy is wrong.

Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

One (fiat) is based on compounding inflation, the other (XMR) on diminishing inflation (disinflation).
