The one alt that I've been a big fan of is Monero, but I knew that it would have very limited upside  price wise as governments would eventually shut down the allowance of exchanges to to transact it (buy/sell), and that's exactly whats happening.  It's also why I've been dead set against bitcoin ever being anonymous (cracks me up so many articles to this day claim that it is smh).  Because it would never get to where it's gotten had it been. I find it interesting that so many still don't see this or argue against it not being anonymous.  If you want that, buy/use monero. 

I think there will always be ways to make btc transactions much more difficult to follow/track.  I dont have the expertise to say this with any confidence but would imagine so.

Banning transactions of over 10k cash...the EU...eastern world dictator type bs there.  If you have a transaction over 3k, you have to report it.  No one one will.
