I wonder if there will be increased interest in more privacy focused cryptocurrencies like Monero? I don't follow this news closely so I am genuinely curious if anyone has any insights.

I’ve heard that some vendors on drug marketplaces take Monero

I thought I saw a chart where it was the second-most-accepted coin, but I couldn't find it, so I may be wrong.

I did find a chart where it is the 4th most accepted after BTC, LTC, and ETH.

I imagine those other coins are more accepted because they have larger network effects. I also imagine that Monero's network will grow even more as it becomes more developed.
