overall I think that the majority has not yet understand bitcoin. one day they will, and then they will also find out that there is also a anonymous blockchain. i think we need at least one anonymous crypto. this could be monero or another one. I hope monero will be ready then (gui + xmrusd exchange).
This is a fabulous point. I'm sure many people here have read The Economist cover article, ostensibly about bitcoin. But if you really read the issue of The Economist, it's more about various blockchain possibilities. Bitcoin is only one of several potential blockchain plays one could make.
Right now, it may be the most developed. But there are potential issues ahead regarding block size, transaction times, etc... If you think anonymity might be another blockchain-related issue, well, you could pony up VC dollars on a variety of registry-related startups in Silicon Valley. If you don't have millions and millions of dollars in liquid assets that you want to plop down on ONE roulette wheel slot, you could also buy Monero.
