Why hold your value in something that's infinite? Why not to hold your value in something that's has absolute scarcity?

Why hold your value in some system which has constant hard forks? Why not to hold your value in system that you can trust it's resistant to corruption?
It’s not so much the number of forks that is an issue but rather the number of contentious forks that can cause the network to split in an uncertain state (Who gets the hashpower? Who gets the brand? Who gets the ecosystem support?). As far as I can tell, there is more drama going on in the #Bitcoin community than in the #Monero community and there had been more contentious forks with Bitcoin.
The mechanisms that lead to a network upgrade on Monero and Bitcoin are similar so I’m not sure why one would be more resistant to corruption than the other.
I think the finite supply argument being in favor of #Bitcoin is way overblown. Personally I don’t care much that #Monero has an infinite supply the way it is implemented. The inflation will be reduced each year and it’s an insurance for lasting security.
For Bitcoin although block rewards will be emitted until 2140 or so, it’s possible that we start seeing some cracks much earlier in how the current security budget is implemented. I don’t know if this will happen in our lifetime but this question will certainly stir a lot of infighting which could easily lead to a major fork event. The finite supply of Bitcoin is a reality until it is not.
Regardless of whether the supply of finite or not, the price is determined by offer and demand. For Bitcoin and Monero, the coin emission is a negligible part of this equation and you can see it in the price action from the last bull-bear cycle.
