Austrian economics emphasizes the importance of sound money, which maintains its value over time. Bitcoin's limited supply (capped at 21 million coins) and decentralized issuance ensure that it cannot be subject to inflationary pressures or arbitrary monetary policies. Monero has a infinite supply. This makes it a the oposite of a store of value in the long term, especially in comparison to Bitcoin.
Unless you account for the inevitable entropy of funds being lost in unreachable transactions.
I mean it's a bit like saying "gold is in danger because sometimes we drop it in the ocean". But maybe you see my point

If people can't audit the blockchain, it's just like Fiat. If there is no supply cap, it's just like Fiat. If it has been losing value over time, it's just like Fiat.

THERE IS NO SECOND BEST

And in practice, no Bitcoiner is taking advantage of it's simple math to audit the blockchain. No one manually checks every 10 minutes that all inputs = all outputs. They just run a node and don't give it another thought. Exactly as any Monero user would.
  • Yes, no supply cap, but supply is steady and predictable (unlike fiat) and it is less inflation than gold. It is also decentralized, permissionless, non custodial, final settlement, p2p, and FOSS. So no it isn't "just like fiat".

Don't hold Monero long term and/or don't hold a lot if you think this trend will continue. Use it like cash. This isn't difficult.

Name 1 exchange that accepts Monero. And i doupt there are many P2P offers.

LOL 🤦‍♂️ Are you serious? Kraken is a major one, but I don't recommend KYC CEXes.
There are so many, but I'll only list a few popular P2P and KYC free ones
