Are you really placing Monero in the same category as Shiba?

Also, calling Monero a privacy coin really depends on what is your mental point of origin. Is monero a privacy coin, or is everything else (pretty much) a surveillance coin?

Matter of perspective, you see.

To call something a shitcoin is to say it has no value, and no use. The vast, vast majority of cryptocurrencies indeed add very little if anything to the table.

But a robust, battle-tested, always-private cryptocurrency? That is something else. That is a useful tool.

And it's only your zealotry that prevents you from seeing that.

#monero might not be bitcoin, it might never have as much gains as bitcoin, it might never have as many users, and it definitely will never have as much mainstream finance adoption as bitcoin (think really hard about that one), but here is what Monero does, and does well.

It keeps your transactions private and anonymous, and with a couple well-known corner cases notwithstandig, you don't even have to think about it.

That you cannot recognize this reveals ignorance, prejudice and zealotry. Nothing else, and nothing more.
