I'm in favor of any valuation in addition to fiat.  All fiat currency in the history of the world has eventually failed, the USD will be no exception.  Whether you hold value in fiat, commodities, bitcoins, or other, I believe diversity is best.

I'm interested in them because of there anonymity.
Every transaction is completely public.  The fact that you personally are the one who has access to the private key necessary to engage in a particular transaction can be hidden making your part in the transaction anonymous, but depending on who you are trying to hide your activity from you have to make a significant effort to ensure that you don't accidentally reveal your connection to the transaction.

This.
