 Absolutely. I have my doubts that I'll use it myself but I think the privacy aspect of it is worth something to many in this sphere of the world.

I'm still #Bitcoinonly. 
 I could not get a monero node to sync that's as far as I got with it 
 oh? Was that recently? 
 In the past year yeah. Is it also monero culture to run your own node? 
 Very much, but it's also not as crucial for new users as it is with Bitcoin. Still strong privacy guarantees even if you don't.

 Yes it is. Mine keeps in sync. Maybe try again if you have use for it. 
 Weird the first time I've ever heard this
