> I honestly have no idea why bitcoin is still the most valuable cryprocurrency when projects like Monero exist.

Because it simply can't be audited. What is the purpose of a public ledger if it is not auditable.

Don't get me wrong I love Monero, but the transparency of Bitcoin is desirable if you intend to enforce a fixed supply.

Also things like Taproot could give some privacy if they widely get used by wallets (by default for example).
