Please show me you can do the same on your blockchain, which I can't see how to do, and then I'll be satisfied that monero is trustless. Otherwise, I'll never be a fan

Yes, that is a cryptonote block explorer, but what you can not show me is the hash that the coins previously came from, because it's hidden. you can't tell what the "names" of the coins are going back to their creation. The "name" or account number, changes whenever the original coin is broken up, merged or changes hands. In XMR, this information is completely lost and not stored on the blockchain. I can't see it, I have to trust in cryptography. If anything goes wrong, nobody would ever know. And at it's worst, if computers ever get strong enough, which is quite possible with quantum computers on the horizon, all transactions will lose their privacy, the very reason for all this convoluted mess.

I don't trust this system. I can't see it and verify it. What good is it for everything to be hidden completely, to the point where you have to trust that it is working?

With a simple, understandable system that fully protects the privacy of the user, yet requires no trust - as was always the whole point of the decentralized crypto currency of Bitcoin - DASH is not more superior due to it's complexity, but due to it's simplicity. If you're such a technocrat that you don't understand this, I can only feel bad for you because the majority of the world will.
