Answer this:
1. What is the supply issuance schedule of Monero?
2. Is there a hard cap supply?
3. How do you audit the supply?
4. Was it pre-mined?
5. How does it scale and remain decentralized at the same time without prune-able nodes?
Monero is an excellent privacy tool but without answering all five of my questions it will never be better than Bitcoin.
This
1. Code
2. No
3. Code
4. No
5. Storage is cheap
1. 0.6 XMR every 2 minutes
2. No hard cap. Qustion for you: How high will tx fees be on Bitcoin as adoption increases for limited blockspace?...Terrible for a MoE p2p digital *cash*. You can argue better SoV if you wish. But any price projection into the future is pure speculation. You can control supply but never the fickle demand side of the equation.
3. You audit Monero the same way you audit Bitcoin. You run a node.
No Bitcoiner is taking advantage of it's transparent/simple math to scrutinize the blockchain so that doesn't help you. Did you make sure that 900,000,000+ million transaction inputs = outputs on your node? Do you do that every 10 minutes? No, you just run your node and pay no mind like a Monero user.
4. Premined? You're confusing Monero with Bytecoin or Bitmonero.
5. Bitcoin itself has similar scaling challenges so I don't understand why you think this is unique to Monero. You are the ones with the global "hyperbitcoinization" prophecy narrative - not us.

Either way Monero can easily scale in two scenarios:
1) Rate of adoption remains below rate of consumer tech advancements (Moore's law) and protocol scalability improvements (tx size has already been reduced by 80%)
2) Monero remains a somewhat niche black/gray market crypto. I think Bitcoiners are delusional if they think the State will allow Bitcoin and Monero on white markets if they have anything to say about it.
Better at what is the question? What is the goal? Different tools for different jobs. If my needs require a hammer, a screwdriver doesn't help me much. Bitcoin has it's own unique downsides vs Monero.
This is an excellent answer 🤌🏽
