Discussing technicalities about Bitcoin and Monero can only bring us so far. Most people don't care and just follow the current trend. And how is a trend boosted? Not by features like High-Privacy or No-Inflation, again: most people just give a shit about these features. The trend is generated by mass media. Mass media does whats good for the system and the system wants to centralize power, by surveilling and controlling more and more types of transactions between humans. With Bitcoin it can enforce surveillance by imprisoning coin-mixer developers and their tech. With Monero, since Privacy is built-in, the system has to deny Monero fully. Both of these actions are happening right now.

Bitcoin might be the "winner", gains more value and wide-spread adoption as it is compatible to the system, but at what price?

I am still favoring Monero, not only because of its features and anarchist spirit, but also because I know that it is the exact opposite of what the system wants.
