>Even Monero is said to have serious problems, like
>perpetual inflation
The inflation schedule can't be changed on a whim like fiat and that is the key point. Monero's tail emission enables the adaptive blocksize and provides predictable mining security in the future. Bitcoin's terminal emission schedule is actually very stupid but of course satoshi was just launching an experiment so I'm sure he didn't think about it too much.

>inevitable government crackdowns
The whole point of cryotocurrency is that no one can shut it down. If governments could stop it they already would have, just like they did with the Liberty Dollar and Facebook's Libra. Government's best option is to legalise it in a way they can tax it.

>and high fees.
The fees are really low, look it up.

Monero has a lower emission rate than gold and will be even scarcer when asteroid mining starts and when energy becomes cheap enough to filter gold from the ocean.

I only hold a bit of gold in case an enormous coronal mass ejection takes us back to stone age, but even then, what's the point? Also there's a chance gold is valuable to aliens but I think they would just steal it anyway.
