Payments isn't what people are buying Bitcoin for today so I don't see how Monero should be higher based on it supposedly being better (it's not)
Privacy
I always liked xmr because it allows you to send and receive funds without your transactions being publicly visible on the blockchain. This ensures your purchases, receipts, and other transfers remain private by default.
Scalability
Monero doesn’t have a
hard coded maximum block size . This means that unlike Bitcoin, it does not have a 1 MB block size limit preventing scaling for mass adoption. Since there is no maximum block size limit, a block reward penalty mechinism is built into the protocol to disincentive excessive block size’s.
By default, the Monero system promotes and permits net neutrality on the blockchain; this means miners cannot become censors, since they do not know where the transaction goes or what is contained within it while still permitting auditing when desired.
But Bitcoin has a certain appeal to it now becasue the name ''bitcoin'' itself is now a household name. People trust it in the general branding sense.
It will probably always find a way to be the Numero uno crypto but Monero and even Aeon are two that you have to keep an eye on. For me they are both supremely undervalued right now because everybody is all bitcoin bitcoin bitcoin, without seeing that there might be even better options out there for people depending on what exactly you wanna do.....
