 Do you think Monero is perfect money?

It certainly is a reminder of what is created if privacy is a specific design need.

 No. Perfect money is something that will not be achieved ever. Not by BTC and not by XMR.

But it is currently the closest to it.

All we have known pre-Bitcoin is a system were debasement of currency was the norm.

 No, but it has it's own advantages over other crypto. You already mentioned one, privacy, but there are others like stronger fungibility, mining censorship resistance, and very low fees.
