 Bitcoin is better than Monero because there is a HUGE amount of energy invested in protecting the network and ensuring that blocks are produced according to the consensus rules.

The amount of energy invested in Monero is a drop in the bucket in comparison. Not to mention the ready availability of mining hardware.

Playing devils advocate here
but there are *always* tradeoffs. 
 Well, this huge amount of energy is centralized isn't ? Can average people have significant impact on the network security or it's only big farms ? 
 like I said
tradeoffs

You can have an immutable chain that's virtually unfuckwithable,
if the energy is somewhat centralized.
