Thanks for a good question. As I've mentioned in the article, DeepOnion in no way inferior to other cryptocurrencies, it provides cheap, fast and secure transactions due to it's hybrid PoW/PoS consensus algorithm. Also it provides much more features, it is not only a currency.
And maybe you don't realise it now, but you need to protect you privacy and anonymity, everyone needs, especially if you're envoled in crypto. DeepOnion is first of all for "regular" users, who can't reach anonymity by themselves.
