>>bitcoin supply bug status: DETECTED AND FIXED

Retard, when the fix is as destructive as the bug itself then its all moot. An exploited inflation bug in 2023 with thousands of innocent users having their TXs invalidated and losing potentially billions in the process would destroy faith and confidence in Bitcoin forever, effectively killing it.

The only reason the first chain rollback didn't kill BTC is that hardly anybody was using it and the price was just 7 cents. A repeat today would be catastrophic and there is a non-zero chance of it happening again.


>>monero supply bug status: UNDETECTED

Retard, you can detect an exploited inflation bug indirectly buy gauging availability on exchanges since the hacker in question would be in mad dash to cash out as much as possible as quickly as possible before either the bug is discovered & patched or the value plummets.

Current status: XMR supply on exchanges is so limited that withdrawals keep being suspended.

Conclusion: there is no active inflation bug and its highly unlikely there ever will be one as long as the code keeps being audited and best practices are adhered to.
