If you ask people whether they 1) want to use a payment method that displays every transaction on a publicly accessible list, or 2) prefer a private, anonymous payment method where transactions aren't publicly visible, what would they choose? I believe every single person would choose option 2. Nobody wants their transactions or financial details exposed to the world. This, I believe, is a significant issue with Bitcoin. Monero represents what Bitcoin was intended to be: Private and Anonymous money.
