Focusing on price is not particularly valuable for the coin. If you are only interested in speculation and making a quick buck that is fine, but we are trying to change the world right? Monero and other anon coins are valuable because they stop prying eyes from invading your privacy. Let's focus on the importance of these qualities and celebrate later

At this rate something like coinjoin + confidential transactions will be ready before any of the anonymous coins get a proper GUI. Segwit is comming soon so if the alts want to compete against bitcoin they better hurry.

Only having confidential transaction is pretty useless from a fungibility and privacy standpoint unfortunately. Much more effort needs to made for a currency to be fully private. Privacy must be by default otherwise the anonymity set for your currency is quite low. This category of cryptocurrencies excites me so I look forward to future progress

currently everybody is talking about anonymous coins everywhere you look, it should only be remotely related to cryptocurrencies and you see a topic there talking about anonymous coins. even litecoin has released an statement that they are implementing some new feature to add the ability to have anonymous transactions with more privacy.

in other words anon coins are the new hot topic so even if they don't have a GUI (a user friendly one) they are going to continue on rising for the foreseeable future.
