If you don't trust your government or your personal safety, I can't imagine that it will be smart to use currencies like this that have ZERO privacy. I will stick with Monero. They have gone through all this complex redesign apparently without a single thought given to privacy; looks like a disaster.
Monero doesn't have many users (the daily transaction count is also maximum daily user count), so achieving a larger anonymity set should happen very fast. It's also going to be much more scalable. Not to mention anonymous dollars are a unique value proposition in itself.
