I'm a long time lurker of this thread, but I feel like this overlooks the idea that hiding your identity isn't just for buying drugs.

Almost yearly it seems you hear of some corporation being hacked, and thousands of peoples identity and credit card information is then compromised. Why should these corporations have such access to all my personal info before I can buy something online?
Really all they should need is money, and an address to send something to.

I would agree that bitcoin is currently less secure and harder to use for the average person which is currently a dilemma, likely to be improved. But if one understands how to manage their own wealth (ideally PC security), and take the time to learn how Bitcoin operates, they will see there is so much more to bitcoin then simply buying drugs anonymously, but I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir
