Are you serious? I'm starting to wonder if this whole "Ask HN" was posted to dissuade people from buying crypto.

1. False. There are mobile wallets that download only part of the blockchain.

2. This applies to all crypto, not only Monero.

3. True!

4. The number of coins added by the tail emission is too small to affect the size of the pie. The inflation rate from tail emission is asymptotically zero.

5. Privacy or no privacy, it's still crypto, which protects your fiat from inflation.

6. Monero can scale on the lightning network to millions of transactions per second. The more technical reasons, like auditing supply and POW aren't big enough problems for consumers to worry about.
