Bitcoin has a hard cap at 21M. Once block rewards run out, miners basically rely on transaction fees to keep the network secure. That means BTC is kind of forced to depend on people using it, sending it around, and paying fees.

Monero on the other hand has a tail emission of 0.6 XMR per block, forever. That means miners are always incentivized to keep securing the chain, even if transaction fees are low. It’s predictable, steady, and sustainable. Inflation stays super low over time (like ~1%), but the chain never risks losing security.

So in a way, BTC feels more like cash (you need people spending/transacting to make the system work long-term), while XMR feels more like a store of value (steady, secure, predictable issuance).

what do you guys think?
