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.
A certain segment of society wants to hide from the law and so wants anon. That group also has millions of dollars they want to move around anonymously. So which ever coin can provide that and is adopted by that group will become popular and thus will increase in price. In other words, the coin that delivers and gets adopted could very well dethrone bitcoin at some point and become the defacto standard.
