Bitcoin vs Monero: while Bitcoin is focused on decentralization and a transparent monetary policy, Monero prioritizes privacy and ASIC resistance to allow anyone to mine with their home computer. 

However, Monero has better confidentiality (hidden amounts) but isn’t necessarily more private due to the lower user base and smaller anonymity sets. If fewer users transact, there’s a tinier crowd in which they can hide – especially if some users are well-known or choose to reveal information about their transactions. 

Also, it’s hard for Monero to identify potential inflation bugs – which is fine, as the project is designed to be cypherpunk money instead of digital gold.
