Does anyone really believe that anonymity is viable long term? That is if you really want to take a cryptocurrency mainstream?

Does anyone think that ordinary people will entrust their hard earned money to a system that does not allow them to prove their ownership of that same hard earned money? I think people want their name and Social Security number stamped on the transaction inside the blockchain, and that they also want their transactions to be traceable.

I invite you all to try to stay on topic (this is central to cryptocurrencies) and "discuss" this issue without insults and intimidation. It shouldn't be too awfully hard since it is rather subjective and opinion oriented to begin with - there are no hard facts to hide from - and we can share our opinions about what the ordinary man and woman on the street want when choosing what kind of money they want to use. Something traceable that they can demonstrate is theirs in a court of law, or something anonymous which they can never prove is really theirs after being hacked or simply making a mistake with who they sent the money to?
