Bitcoin is fundamentally flawed. It is not fungible or private. Go read the cypherpunk manifesto, and then tell me with a straight face that bitcoin's lack of privacy is alright. Also, for something to be sound money, it needs to be fungible, this is not optional. Bitcoin is not money because it lacks the essential quality of money known homogeneity or fungibility. Without privacy and fungibility, bitcoin is not money, has irredeemable design flaws and is an inferior money to monero. The flippening of bitcoin by monero on the dark web is Gresham's law in action. Change my mind.

Flawed is a rather hash word, but yes, its privacy ain't all that great due to been a public transparent ledger that has been heavily regulated thru KYC/AML bullshit.
My experience on bitcoin privacy is limited and must agree that today options between a few implementations like samourai, wasabi and coinjoin are not all that great.
Having said the above, I believe security and privacy are moving targets, that will be further improved and work on by many talent people on the #bitcoin space.
Have you tried the 2.0 version of Wasabi? Coinjoins run passively in the background, don't produce any identifiable change outputs, and doesn't require the user to perform any coin control (even for consolidation, since that is done within a coinjoin).
Here's a short demonstration:
I have, in the past and was really happy with them, but after they decided to sensor certain tx it was a hard pass for me.
I'm now leaning towards JoinMarkets, which Jam appears to have reduce some of the complexity.
Also I'm exploring the option of using monero for some cross-chain obfuscation.
As if the rampant address reuse and deterministic linking wasn't enough, then they started censoring...hard pass
