Specifically in these metrics:&#xA;&#xA;- dynamic block sizes mean blocks will get big if monero gets popular&#xA;- large blocks are hard and expensive to validate&#xA;- validation difficulty discourages everyone except rich people from running nodes&#xA;- the people running the nodes control the network&#xA;- so if the rich alone run the nodes, the rich alone control the network, which sounds bad to me&#xA;- monero also has perpetual inflation, and I think that is a bad idea for the reasons outlined by Gregory Maxwell here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405755.msg60542558#msg60542558&#xA;&#xA;I will also give you a non-fundamental argument against monero: monero was created to achieve better privacy than bitcoin had at the time, which was a laudable goal. But lightning showed that there&#39;s an even better way to do privacy, so adopting monero now would be a step backward. There&#39;s better privacy technology available now and bitcoin adopted it via lightning.</html></oembed>
