well sir privacy is not much of a factor right now..... the most important feature in monero is the low market capacity... when someone has alot of money he would invest it in something rare that buying something that is available in mass....plus monero has earned popularity due to several reasons...well some people use it for privacy perposes also the transactions made on the monero cannot be traced which gives an advantage to use to skip taxes when u pay for an international transaction frm such a currency u can actually save alot of money rather than transfering through a medium and paying alot of tax
