Maybe some people are taking advantage of the anonymity of Monero for illegitimate means.

He might not really be against anonymous digital money, but he does have a reputation to protect. So maybe he has to draw the line somewhere.

Or maybe he doesn't want to draw attention to Monero because he wants to protect it's utility.

Zcash focuses on anonymity too.

Though, from what I remember, zcash does not have full anonymity across all transactions, meaning that if you do sent anon one, you are visibly standing out from the other transactions (though if it's untraceable, it might not be a problem?). Compared to monero where all txs are anonymous.

Something along these lines

more interested in snowden's bitcoin and other altcoin holdings. "till the sun goes out" he said. that tells me hes a cryptocurrency billionaire.

just asking so I can forward this to the Russian mafia to give to Putin. Putin will want his half of all of Snowden's cryptocurrency holdings. Thus, all who donated to Snowden likely donated to Putin.
