First of all, if you're really interesting in learning how Monero was born, I highly encorage you to see the original thread right here in bitcointalk - [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency.
Regarding Monero itself I have to say that I like it mainly for what stands for. The amount of privacy that it adds to all the transactions and the fact that they can't be traced is awesome. It's also important to note that the coin itself already has managed to establish an economy around it, with many vendors already accepting it as a means to pay for your service and lots of others wanting to do that and looking for means to do it, you just have to go to the official sub at Reddit to see just that[1].
Without using Google I can tell you at least 3 companies that already receive Monero as payment : IVPN[2], AirVPN[3] and TorGuard[4]. As a sneak peak I really believe that Mullvad is going to start accepting Monero payments in the near future given this sneaky "like" noticed by a fellow Reddit user[5]:
You can see a bunch of other services that are already embracing Monero : Merchants & Services
