how so, bitcoin can actully protect singular individual much better than bank, when you are dealing with your neighbor or spose

how, if every transaction is online for everyone to see?!

you can mix it, there are various tool or ways(altcoin, using more than one exchange, mining, recieving bitcoin directly to different adresses ecc...) to help you stay more anonymous than dealing with fiat where every transaction is traceable

and you think that process is simple enough to population in general?? to bitcoin become success, processes MUST be simple. Nobody wants to learn how to mix, etc etc that is for geeks only! And geeks only wont make bitcoin a success!

banks, actually provide all the privacy common user wants. bitcoin dont.

how can a third party provide you pricacy, this is an oxymoron you know, in the exact time that your personal info are handled by someone else, you can't talk about privacy anymore

in the future anonimity with bitcoin will be made less troublesome for sure, for now if someone really want to stay anonimous he need to work a bit, i'm sure that if someone really have a reason to stay anonimous, he become suddenly a geek, you can be assured about this

it is not to stay anonymous like im doing anything illegal!! i just want my privacy!! do you understand this?

and no! nobody (normal people) is going to become a geek to use bitcoin. people just keep using fiat money; it is the easiest way.

i am not a geek, i am not a criminal and i STILL want my privacy from my neighbors and friends. banks provide me this. bitcoin don't.

I agree that anonymity is important or it's maybe better to use term financial privacy.

What if one day Bitcoin gets so big that companies will pay their workers in BTC. At current state, this would not be possible since everyone in company would know how much their colleagues make. This is not desirable. For this, we do need finacial privacy.
