I have always supported bitcoin and its anonymity. Today, we heard about the users who got hacked after they logged in to myetherwallet. This wasn't the first time some users got hacked and there is no doubt it will happen again. It can happen to all of us. There is no difference you are holding bitcoin, Litecoin or Ethereum. All of us wish it was possible to punish that hacker. But all the holders are anonymous. So, anonymity is not always good. What is your opinion about cryptocurrencies anonymity considering this issue?

I also was a victim of hacking. My myetherwallet was hacked and the hacker withdrew all of my eth and erc20 tokens. I lost a huge deal of profit that day but it did not stop there, my account on c-cex was hacked, my account on bitsler was hacked, genesis mining account, coinexchange.io account. I was targeted by hackers as they thought I have a huge stash of btc.

Due to this events, I am pleased when the government requires AML and KYC requirements to all cryptocurrency holders. In that way those hackers can be caught when they try to encashed their cryptocurrency.

I want you to advice that the greatest threat to anonymity is traceability of transactions.So there are some questions,particularly What coins did you lose? Have you ever tried to understand how related hackers addresses are? or Have you ever appealed your story to investigative authorities? I think it will be perspective for you to do this,There is no 100% anonymity at here,Even when we are using bitcoin,I think Satoshi Nakamoto kept one mechanism to prevent frequent crime,Anyway as we all know its pseudo anonymous,its right that we don't use our real names or other details but the addresses that hackers use is a pseudo-identity.So linking a Bitcoin address to a real-world identity is easy,what you need is the will from investigative authorities and special resources to investigate your case.But at the same time it will be harder to investigate cases when hackers are using coins with better cryptographic techniques.
