You should also put a table of how much the cost of running Monero rises with the number of users. In bitcoin the relationship is linear* with number of users. In Monero it's linear* with number of TRANSACTIONS. Huge difference, the number of transactions depends on number of users over time but also amount of economic activity. I estimate it's quadratic or worse with respect to number of users which is a huge difference compared to btc.
*linear - I'm aware of "The myth of RAM" and I know it's actually n*sqrt(n), I used it for simplicity of comparison. With the myth of RAM accounted, it's even worse for Monero as it's something like n^3 for Monero vs n*sqrt(n) for Bitcoin.
