I think where we seem to disagree is that you suggest that Monero has "overwhelming technological superiority" where as from where I stand it really only improves on one of the many important features of money.
 
  
Just for you, I made this special report to help you understand why Bitcoin was a significant invention in the history of money but Monero is actually the next true evolution of it.  
  
It's not just about privacy.  Every bitcoin has a unique history associated with it; it is a digital collectible.  It is not digital gold.  
  
Monero is the first digital gold.    
 

I guess that is an interesting analysis but unfortunately not one I can agree with for the simple reason that bitcoins are absolutely and unequivocally fungible.

May I suggest: http://trilema.com/2014/guidance-there-is-no-such-thing-as-bitcoin-taint/ or http://www.contravex.com/2014/06/21/tell-the-grand-inquisitor-theres-no-fucking-bitcoin-taint/

In short, all bitcoins are obviously created equal and perception of value spawned from traceability concerns is not an indictment on Bitcoin itself.
