You don't have to save in Monero longterm to use it.
Any future promises for Bitcoin NGU is all speculation.
Discussion
problem is i dont find a good usecase to use for short term.
not belittling monero but at least i can still use LN for zaps
Do you zap with a non custodial lightning wallet? Is it private?
If you don't care about that stuff, then yes, you don't need Monero.

Saving Bitcoin is one thing. Spending is another. You seem like you are doing the saving part well.
Using custodial and non-private wallets to spend is not my thing, and runs counter to the bitcoin ethos imo, but it is your money to use however you wish.
How do you not understand what inflation is at this point.
Maybe the word debasement will be better suited to your vocabulary?
Either way it has nothing to do with NGU.
I repeat: You don't have to save in Monero longterm to use it.
You're telling me if Bitcoin price never changed or declined over time you would keep hodling it? You're full of it. Of course it is about NGU.
That is all your point is against any other crypto ever is.
Price chart. Price charts. Price charts.

There is no incentive for me to use it, with Bitcoin I get to save it & spend it at a later date without having to take on debasement risk.
This isn't hard.
If you want more tedious, expensive, slower, inferior privacy then ya you have no use for Monero.
Short term volatility is basically the same for Bitcoin and Monero. You could have a slight profit or loss. It's a wash. You're right this isn't hard.
Do you at any point in time hold greater than $0 fiat? Why are you risking debasement?
