You really think that if Bitcoin goes mainstream you'll be able to avoid regulations by using a local wallet? If the government gets involved in Bitcoin, and they will if Bitcoin becomes a legal currency, you can be sure that every single coin movement will be tracked. The blockchain makes it impossible for anyone to do anything without being noticed.
Bitcoin will stay pseudo anonymous no matter what, unless you're afraid of a change in code, that none would adopt to anyways.
That being said, no matter how many eyes are watching, being pseudo anonymous is perfectly fine for me, with a few additions here and there.
