in sumary, Monero can offer all of this, while being private and fungible at the protocol level, and maintaining the security of the system for any point in time in the future with tail emission, and also being scalable to demand with dynamic blocks while also limiting blocks to be small initially. Bitcoin can't offer this, and never will.
