I used to hold some Monero in the past, and think privacy for sure is something that needs to be solved in crypto. However, I still have a hard time seeing such a volatile asset becoming a real thing people ever use as currency. I like the idea where everyone just agrees on BTC as the main store of value asset that is 'sure' to go up over time and for there to be some way to use it privately.
