..."privacy" was never a monetary property in its own right...
Can you distinguish one ounce of gold from another? One stack of $100 bills from another? (Not really.) The point is that you can distinguish one bitcoin from another, as lots of folks that have been banned from Coinbase have found out, and that is a problem. With Monero this is much less of or not a problem at all.
that's fungibility.
Anonymity isn't the only way to achieve fungibility, but yeah, i agree with you.
fungibility is important to any type of currency and a big problem in bitcoin(probably one of the main reason against massive adoption).
