Even if an attacker obtained my wallet.dat, if it is encrypted with a long password, is it safe to say the stolen wallet is, for the time being, useless to the attacker?

Do you even mine?

Yes it is useless to the attacker.
But in a worst case scenario with the hearbleed bug, however, if you just recently sent coin and therefore unlocked your wallet, the private keys might be in memory and leaked to the attacker. This is just theoretical, in practice probably very unlikely.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's.
This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".
