Who needs more privacy coins? I could care less because not into crypto to hide assets.

I guess the coin is tailor-made for you then.

For some reason, I was under the impression that the Digibyte community had the goal of widespread usage and not just for those that 'don't care' ...

There are many reasons to want privacy that fall far from hiding assets or tax evasion.

True, there are many good reasons besides illegal ones for wanting privacy but I believe DigiByte or Bitcoin, not much difference here, can be private enough to cover these. Unfortunately most of the evidence suggests that people using private coins are not using them for legitimate private reasons and these coins will either be found not to be as private or perhaps not even secure as everyone has been lead to believe. They will probably be regulated into positions where they are only being used for illegal activities and not in the mainstream at all. I suspect Verge is holding up more because of its distribution and big players are aware that the issues can be fixed and a hack is not necessarily a bad thing because it leads to improvement! If the coin was well distributed amongst crypto noobs, most of them would be concerned enough that you would see this in the market place.
