This “transactions per billion of market cap” approach — currently taking rounds as an exemplary monero superiority metric on #nostr — measures transaction frequency relative to valuation, not economic usage or monetary turnover. And because Monero's transferred amounts are private, the claim that it has the world's highest ‘usage per value’ cannot be established from transaction counts alone.
Monero has far more daily transactions per billion of market cap than Bitcoin. Monero consistently has the highest usage per value in the world. Everything else is not really being used as money at all.
