Besides getting actual privacy with cryptocurrency requires jumping through a lot of hoops, covering a lot of tracks, and trusting a lot of people. I think privacy is the killer feature that we will never actually have. edit: you are of course right and I am splitting hairs, but I do think real privacy is impossible.
