There could be many reasons to use these privacy coins. Some users could try to hide their benefits from Bitcoin or other currencies or maybe they are really worried about their privacy and they have decided to be 100% on a privacy coin. Nowadays, privacy is fashionable since Whatsapp announced some changes in its privacy policy and it seems that people in Twitter is searching for new software such as Signal to communicate more privately, so this kind of user could be trying to find privacy coins.
