One of the biggest core problems of bitcoin is its lack of privacy and anonymity.
Do you think Bitcoin will adapt and accomodate users that want more privacy and anonymity in the future or will they need to use one of the superior coins out there to serve their needs?

It seems to me it will be near impossible to enhance the protocol without breaking (hardforking) it and people losing coins that are for example locked in scripts.

On the other hand i think this is a critical feature that has gotten people interrested in Bitcoin in the first place but turned out to be nothing more than hot air. It needs to do something in order to stay ahead of newer superior coins that address tis and other big problems.

Bitcoin is still under development and It there is definitely a solution for both privacy and anonymity[1] , Darkwallet was something that everyone was waiting but It's now pretty much dead, an alternative for the moment is the mixing services , even though It's not that secure. Hopefully , SegWit will get activated in the future and both Lightning network & TumbleBit will follow.
