Yes, I've implicitly compared Bitcoin to Monero in this aritcle (
).
Monero is better digital cash by a wide margin, but it's not a silver bullet.
For the current regime, privacy by default is a non-negotiable.
I'd use Monero if I need digital cash, not as a store of value.
Many Monero devs likely work for the government, some hardware wallets are very likely backdoored, government agents can decide to spam L1 until running nodes becomes annoying, they can make it radioactive so 99.99% of the population avoid it like the plague, etc.
Still, if you need to use digital cash, Monero is your best bet.
The other recommendations I've mentioned are going to be more important for most people.

When we look at the past 5-10 years, Bitcoin’s trajectory is quite clear. Capture goes up, freedom goes down.
