The original point of blockchain is transparency which allows for decentralization. For this reason bitcoin will be the gold standard for store of value. As a coin, there are better anonymous altcoins.
Yeah for anonymous there may be another coins that are much better in that field, but bitcoin has a higher price and has more complexity than other altcoins, I myself think that the trendmark of bitcoin in the future is not just about anonymity..
Of course that's called the 'old switcheroo'
First bitcoin told everybody it was private, anonymous, and safe, 2009->2014
But now that's its worth real money, people are willing to give up all things they were promised, ...
It will not be long that you give up the value, as well this is the way of the GOV, once your give up your freedom and privacy, then they can take anything they wish,
