As for your first question, it's the privacy because you don't have to switch back and forth between a currency that is private and a currency that is not private.
Some people incorrectly say that the supply of Monero is unlimited, which it is not, because it would only be unlimited over unlimited time, and we as humans do not have unlimited time on this earth. It does have some inflation because of the 0.6 Monero Tail emission reward, but that's specifically to replace lost coins over time and incentivize miners to continue mining the chain and not relying on only transaction fees, which are unsteady. Monero's current inflation rate is 0.85%, which is less than the inflation rate of gold, according to the World Gold Council, which has roughly 1.5% inflation per year. And we know exactly how much Monero is going to be released at all times, where with gold, that is not the case.
