Sad to see all the Monero fans and no GNU Taler fans here
Monero is the one everyone has heard of. That fact combined with knowing its untraceable is what makes it valuable.
Yeah, it's popular among the crypto folks. But GNU Taler has advantages over Monero. Buyers are also untraceable, but sellers are not. So they are taxable, which is pretty neat. The EU and Swiss governments are experimenting with it and for them the taxation part is kind of valuable.
Edit: Ah, and it also doesn't rely on a blockchain, so offline transactions are feasible etc.
