Well, unlike Bitcoin, Monero is actually anonymous, and sometimes you gotta make payments online.
You can't do it privately with your card.
Yep, anonymous right up until its use burns the world to the ground.
Monero transactions consume orders of magnitude less energy than Bitcoin's thanks to an ASIC-resistant algorithm
Bitcoin's Lightning Network has onion routing for privacy, like Tor.
When Bitcoin had a bug that allowed some guy to give himself a bazillion bitcoin, it was detected and patched before he was able to sell them. When Monero encounters a similar bug, it will only be detectable by the price going down.
