Not sure what you mean "monero isn't verifiable". If you mean you can't know how much I have without me letting you know sure that's true. If you are talking about individual transactions you are mistaken. You can generate payment proofs if necessary. As far as scarcity goes, the supply isn't fixed like Bitcoin (inflation is programmed in), but this means miners aren't going to lose interest unless we crank up the fees. The tail emissions in monero still inflate the currency far slower than regulators and bankers do.
