Why is Monero better than Bitcoin and Ethereum?
One of the properties we want in a money is fungibility. When something is fungible, it means that each discrete unit is indistinguishable from another unit. Put another way, $1 is always $1, and you can trade $1 for another without it ever really mattering.
If each dollar carried its prior history with in the way that Bitcoins do, then individual units would no longer be interchangeable. If one dollar had been used for a drug transaction, it might only be worth 75 cents; if another had been held by a famous person, it might be worth $1.75.
That would mean the fungibility property had been broken, which would compromise its usefulness as a money. Nam Sardar argues that bitcoin does exactly this thing, because the distributed ledger that tracks all the addresses that have ever held a bitcoin and every transaction it has ever been involved in, which breaks the crucial fungibility property.
She concludes that, because Monero does not commit these errors, it is a superior money.
