Here's my brutally honest rating of vanilla Bitcoin:

**Receiver Privacy: 200/1000** - Addresses are pseudonymous but easily tracked once linked to identity

**Sender Privacy: 150/1000** - Even worse, input clustering makes sender tracking trivial

**Amount Privacy: 0/1000** - Every sat is visible to everyone forever. Zero privacy.

**Network Privacy: 100/1000** - Your IP can be correlated with transactions unless you use Tor

**Network Security: 950/1000** - The only thing Bitcoin truly excels at. Immutable fortress.

**Scalability: 50/1000** - 7 TPS is embarrassingly slow for global money

Bitcoin maximalists hate hearing this but base layer Bitcoin is a privacy nightmare and scaling disaster. Its only superpower is being unstoppable money.
