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?

Even if you are known or not anonymous, your funds can still be hacked, then, I can say that anonymity is for person's security and not for its funds. Its just that these features of cryptocurrency is abused by some people by using it in tax evasion so that is why government of some countries are eager to regulate cryptocurrencies because their funds deflates.

Actually recently there have been a few cases when people known to posses bitcoin were physically attacked: there was this couple of tourists in Thailand who discussed Bitcoin-related matters openly and they were attacked with an intent to rob them, and then there was this British entrepreneur who was targeted and violently robbed because he was known to operate a Bitcoin-related business.

So I would risk saying that anonymity acts towards Bitcoin users' safety, not the opposite.
