Coinbase = Sorry we've confiscated your bitcoins because they were blacklisted.

anyone normal wants to stay anonymous

Like someone mentioned, if someone like Coinbase has a policy of investigating the origin of the Bitcoins you send and they find out they come from criminal activities then you are in trouble, even if you had NO IDEA that those coins were in Silk Road sometime ago. This really sucks and will hinder mainstream adoption. It kills fungibility. The average end user should not care about it and not have that worry on their mind. I myself avoid stuff like Coinbase because who the hell knows where the Bitcoins that you got come from? It's a joke, but I don't really see a way around this as long as the blockchain is an open ledger... any solutions?

This. You are absolutely right. I used Coinbase when I first heard about Bitcoin, because no fees.
Then I discovered that Coinbase, obviously, sucks. Good for me.
