Yes, bitcoin is pseudo anonymous and Monero is fully anonymous. Monero overcomes bitcoin in this aspect.But there is also a complaint that monero,due to its anonymous transactions is widely used in dark markets.
I'm wondering if Mr Satoshi has thought that bitcoin should not goes fully anonymous in order to deal with government.
Yes, people want a cryptocurrency that has fully anonymous feature, but it is a double edge sword as it can't develop further without penetrate government regulations. Bitcoin could be an alternative currency (of fiat money worldwide) but monero only reach an alternative cryptocurrency.
