What about the tail emissions that makes you skeptical.

You can Audit monero. As long as you have the Private view key ect. There's tons of companies that accept it and probably pay their taxes ect

The issue with BTC is ite too manipulative, I dislike the government involvement and the whales.

I disagree on the illegal part, I think monero is just a tool, like anything. Online I want to be able to purchase things wherever I have no tracking and low fees. Monero Dose this by default, no third party no coinJoin no mixing.

Moneros RinCT and bullet proofs is what makes it a better option. It dose what it says it dose.

If you haven't, watch breaking monero.

Its really good.

Running a monero Node is far more accessible then a BTC node or LN node.

In terms of access. As someone who has ran both.

My issue with pseudo-anonymity is that there is too many mistakes to be made.

Monero isn't perfect. The tail emissions is a concern, I'd have to dig deeper in the issues.

Other issue is scaling and liquidity.

I think could be fixed.

The real benefit is that trading has been rampped up with dex and atomic swaps.
