It's soon going to start dawning on people what a lunatic idea cryptonote is.
"We like the blockchain but we don't know how to make it fungible...".
"...I know, lets just make the whole f*cking thing invisible instead !!"
That is how I know Monero already won, you either have no idea how it works or you have to lie to yourself/your compadres to make this DASH shitscamcoin tolerable to hold
One viewpoint, notice how (Monero & Bitcoin are mentioned). Dash/Darkcoin isn't even in the "competition".
Each core dev has their own views and that is the beauty of "decentralized" development", unlike Dash/Darkcoin where even it's top former developer stated it to be wholly centralized. Anyway, by "far" future, that's to mean years and years in the future, as you should also note(But you haven't) that he said Zerocash would have to fix the bloat, fix the plethora of holes that will pop up(They're using an entirely new "architecture", unlike Ring Signatures or even coinjoin that's been out in the open and had the code vetted for years), and make it easy for common people to use(It's too anonymous to it's own detriment). Of course that may never happen, or it may just happen, only time will tell. Monero may even adopt in Zerocash features to make a ring/zero combo anon system, who knows.
Besides that, for the meantime and for the distant future, Cryponote offers the absolute best anonymity that you can get on Earth, along with optional transparency.
