It absolutely applies to xmr too
I just find it weird that people talk about Supply audibility as if they actually did it

There's also a disconnect because people are already trusting plenty of cryptographic primitives on bitcoin
It isn't the stretch to trust the range proofs that guarantee supply on Monero like people say

since its the first mover, I'm glad Bitcoin is transparent for the sake of public trust
but at this point I think it's retarded to insist on total transparency
