The difference between inflation exploits on privacy coins like Monero and Zcash, and inflation exploits on Bitcoin, is on Bitcoin because amounts are transparent it's practically guaranteed that the inflation will be discovered very quickly.

With Monero and Zcash, if an inflation exploit is being used, your only sign might be the price falling. And that's certainly not a reliable indicator.

Wait... Bitcoin's price is falling right now... we have an inflation bug on Bitcoin?!?! 👀💀

/s

Simply because all supposed to be cryptographers or supposed to have notion in economics or computer science want to run a parallel Cash system to live up to Bitcoin or even surpass it:

‘I better understand the ideology behind Bitcoin.. Then, I could run a better electronic cash, more fluid & helpful than Satoshi!’ ...

Bitcoin isn’t a private currency or derived from a private protocol!

I heard monero has a cryptographic way of determining total supply so that argument may not be valid

Yes there are ways to audit monero supply looking for a price fall is not one of them lol.

Anyway exploits should be detected before they are used not the other way around like the ones that happened on Bitcoin on 2018 or the ones that happened on Monero before.

In order for a transaction to be accepted by consensus rules, it has to prove that the sum of its inputs and outputs are zero.

There is not a way to cryptographically sum up the entire chain.

This is such bs

I think there's something wrong with the fork on some wallets.
