I have said this before.
Privacy is not the top priority feature that makes the money real, hard and valuable.
Its a good feature but not the top priority.
Enjoy your Monero. I will enjoy my Bitcoin.

A key aspect of money is fungibility 
which Bitcoin lacks due to the bifurcation of "tainted" UTXOs and "clean" UTXOs. Tainted coins can't be used on any exchanges and many merchants won't take them. Gold, cash and monero are all fungible. Every Monero UTXO has no traceable history thus mamingnit as fungible as a gold atom. Privacy is crucial for money.
