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

- Not true. The Monero blockchain is auditable with a node just like Bitcoin. It is just audited using more complex math vs Bitcoin. Bitcoiners trust complex math and cryptographic assumptions in other critical areas of Bitcoin, but not with this? Seems inconsistent: https://sethforprivacy.com/posts/dispelling-monero-fud/#you-cant-audit-the-monero-supply
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.

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
