Broadcast networks don't scale. Dynamic blocks will just ensure that payment layers won't develop & the base layer will ultimately centralize. The design ensures a slow march toward a dead end.

This is a misunderstanding of why money exists. The most saleable good is the one that everyone wants. If no one wants to hold your money long term then why accept it at all? It's like saying my car doesn't store fuel well because it is meant to be driven & not parked. But storing fuel is a critically important part of being available to drive. Bitcoin has privacy layers with better liquidity & no exchange rate risk/cost. Monero has no real plan to scale, weak network effects, & ultimately no future.

Cuz Bitcoin gets the proper use that a currency should, right. Bitcoin mining, very centralized and not accessible to many

The process of monetary adoption, is store of value > means of exchange > unit of account People are at different stages of this process, institutions are just entering the store of value stage, sone long term bitcoiners are already reaching the unit of account stage. But currency use will primarily happen on 2nd & 3rd layer networks which either do not yet exist or are not yet mature (because broadcast networks don't scale). There are multiple consumer grade low power hardware options for people who want to mine bitcoin. My brother & lots of others are using waste heat from larger miners to heat their homes. Saying it's not accessible is kind of ridiculous. But even if mining was largely inaccessible, that's less of an issue so long as everyone can run a full node & fully audit the system.
