Trustless anon already exists in the cryptonote coins via ring signatures. And it hasn't exactly done them a ton of good so far. Yes, they have their own issues (potential bloat), but this race to trustless anonymity already has been won, sort of... just that people don't really seem to care.
This isn't meant as fud, nor do I even own any cryptonote coins (I owned some Cloak and still own some Drk). I'm just wondering why the hype over something that probably isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be.
Anon in general is so overhyped, how many people is it truly going to be useful for anyway? People scared of their own shadows lol. As I've said before, its just a pump and dump tool to get investment flowing, hook line and sinker, moth to a flame... this is crypto trading. As a casual trader, I couldn't give two ****s about it tbh, if it makes the price go up for a profit then whoopty freaking do.
