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?
Thieves exist even in non-anonymous world of banks and the like. If somebody robbs a bank he can do that no matter if all the bank legitimate clients are anonymous or not. So anonymity is not a problem here and please don't mix those two.
