Hey, guys. Can anyone explain in simple words, what are the main benefits of Monero compared to other anonymous coins?

Mainly opt-in privacy versus privacy by default. With other coins they are opt-in privacy and by being opt-in most people don't use the privacy benefits and those who do stick out from the rest of the crowd. Wherein Monero all transactions are private no matter what and so nobody sticks out for having a private transaction
