Time for people to look into Session (https://getsession.org). You get automatic native onion routing via decentralised infrastructure - currently 1800~ community-run servers (service nodes).
The size of the network will grow with time and using it obviously contributes to its growth.
Honestly I might be moving off to I2P instead.
Now the founders could of course have idealistic goals in mind but we might never know that. Realistically there is no market giving that currency a value and they're asking for literally thousands of dollars just to support the onion routed network.
