Monero is great. Except for the fact that when the dev team dislikes what miners are doing, they introduce a new arbitrary rule, and everyone just goes with it. Having a process to introduce such changes unilaterally is a bug that needs to be fixed first.

Also, there's a lightning network which allows you to transact bitcoin fast and cheap. Although the privacy aspect is still not solved there.
