Anominity is an important function, the only problem is once all coins include this function will anyone care about a coin whose whole point rests on one function that everyone else has.

Darkcoin has first to market power or at least first to push the anominity function. How much that keeps it popular will be up to the future. My bets are it will die a slow death.

Anonymous coins won't be accepted by big retailers.

Some coins have potential but the majority are the same and have the same code and same features with a different looking name and client.

I'm really quite sane!
Yes, and no. Anonymous coins serve a purpose, and 1-2 anonymous coins will likely make it in the long term. But also, anonymous coins are fad-like in that they're very popular now and won't be forever, much like the fads you mentioned.

Are the anonymity coins a 'fad' (pump of the month) like the country and animal coins?  Darkcoin was pumped to a huge capitalization but it hasn't recovered yet.
