Yes! there is a huge difference between the monero rich list and Bitcoin rich list. I guess it's not fun having not only the government but regular a*s people from all over the world spy on your transactions left and right.
yeah, and you could always exchange back to btc or any alt coin anonymously if you want to. but the most amazing and exciting thing right now which will make monero value explode in the near future IMO, is the implementation of atomic swap between monero and bitcoin which will create a big buzz in︀ the crypto space and will increase monero value by quite a margin.
