Is Bitcoin as private as Monero?
Monero has a soft cap. It doesn't attempt to recreate scarcity.
Decentralized more so than Bitcoin.
Asic resistant algorithm allows for egalitarian mining done at home.
Its value lies in its ease of use and privacy.
Discussion
Im not too familiar with monero, so i cant speak to: is bitcoin as private as monero?
By default, probably not but we all have our responsibility and i would argue bitcoin can/could be as private as monero.
If zaps ⚡️ were built on top of monero, how would that look?
That doesn’t need to happen tho
Interesting, monero transactions/fees* scale easily so we can zap anyone layer 1?
again limited monero knowledge 😅
Yes as well as the blockchain itself to handle large amount of transactions
The average XMR fee is very low compared to BTC 
Do you admit it only had utility in this aspect and nothing else so therefore not money.
Monero has all the properties of money.
Bitcoin does not.
cope. 
Can you elaborate on why it states btc is ❌ fungible?
Tainted coins can be rejected.
Tainted? Rejected by who?
anyone with a block explorer and enough knowledge to follow the money.
they are going to map the entire utxo set using existing KYC/AML info and assign confidence scores to all of it
large institutions will pay CA to help them avoid tainted, risky utxos.
Seems arbitrary and at an individual level the argument falls apart. Because a person or institution decides to not accept a specific utxo doesnt make that thing init of itself nonfungible.
Individuals can do what they please.
Unique histories are the opposite of fungible (uniformity, indistinguishable among other units)
The argument about scarcity is not quite right actually. Over infinity, sure, Monero is not scarce, such as Bitcoin is. However, over a lifetime, it definitely is scarce enough to work as proper money. less than 0.9% inflation per year and falling. The tiny amount of inflation is meant to replace what gets lost through loss of private keys, etc.
