Yup, privacy is more and more important in this age of mass surveillance.
But Monero? ... seriously?
Quote from Monero core dev about Monero:
It dangerous experimental technology. Unless you are an expert capable of evaluating everything carefully and an extreme speculator, and in all cases capable of securing your crypto coins properly, you shouldn't buy it. If you have a short term use, well you still need to be able to secure your crypto coins properly, and no that doesn't mean GUI.
