False. 1 BTC ≠ 1 BTC.
No fungibility = no future.

Much to the bitcoiners dismay, there are several ways to censor bitcoin. Virtually all censorship relies on third-party software that identifies either an address or a UTXO as "bad". This identification happens by comparing every address and UTXO directly against a centralised database controlled by the institutions responsible for banning/unbanning (usually governments). Miners can therefore choose not to add transactions coming from these addresses by constantly querying the database.
The second way of censoring does not rely exclusively on a specific address or UTXO, but with the help of other data. This is done by blockchain analytics software that aggregate information from several different sources to assign a "score" to the address/UTXO in question, if this score is too low or negative, it receives a warning flag. This warning is *only* relevant when the address/UTXO passes through a service that queries this score. Exchanges do this, and if the score is too low your bitcoin is confiscated and you are questioned to justify the its origins. Payment processors such as BitPay can also use this service to refuse addresses/UTXOs. You can expect that everything that is "regulated" will do this, because not doing so will be outlawed.

In peer-to-peer fashion, the only possibility to censor a transaction would be if all miners decide to never include it in any block, which is unlikely. But even if you can send your bitcoin elsewhere, if all the infrastructure built around it uses blockchain analytics services, then your bitcoin will be either confiscated, refused, or have lower value because of its bad score.

Every UTXO and address have a score. This is already the case. Some block explorers like Blockchair even gives your a "privacy score" for each transaction.

>When Taproot is fully activated and developed for, Bitcoin becomes the best privacy coin by far.

I'm afraid not.

>Bitcoin Will Never Be Truly Private Says Andreas Antonopoulos

In a livestream Q&A on Antonopoulos’ YouTube channel on July 7, he said Bitcoin (BTC) was unlikely to ever implement privacy features similar to those used by Monero (XMR).

Antonopoulos said creating such features on a cryptocurrency like BTC “would create an enormous amount of controversy.” In addition, he said the structure of Bitcoin simply doesn’t allow ring signatures and stealth addresses.

“I think what we’re going to see soon is Schnorr, Taproot, and Tapscript, which open the door to a lot of improvements,” Antonopoulos said, “But they still do not involve zero-knowledge proofs or the types of ring signatures and stealth addresses that are done in Monero. Bitcoin is not a privacy coin.”

Bitcoin can be better thought of as pseudonymous rather than fully anonymous, as many transactions on the BTC blockchain can still be traced even with these privacy improvements.

lol didn't you see Andreas' explanation about this? Bitcoin will NEVER be able to do what Monero can.
