The privacy it provides comes at a cost, you can't audit the supply, you can't spot inflation bugs easy and it's got a smaller network effect, and liquidity. 

If you value privacy over wealth preservation then by all means, while Bitcoin's privacy tools have their own issues and cost, I think it still works out cheaper versus holding monero

You can also always use monero when you want privacy and use it as a confidential transaction layer with atomic swaps

 

 Fair enough 

i would amend that you have cryptographic guarantee of supply 
even if you can't do "back of the napkin" math.

i mean
when was the last time you personally verified the Bitcoin supply?
