This is a very interesting topic for discussion.
The article says that they want to fight money laundering.
But, as we know, crypto currencies in most countries are not recognized as money (yet).
Naturally, state authorities want to control everything, and crypto-currencies for them, like a red rag for a bull.
Let's be honest, the word anonymity for government agencies is already a crime.
My opinion - this confrontation will never end. Many people tend to be anonymous in the crypto community and this is their right!
Answering the main question I will say NO. All users should not sacrifice their anonymity for criminals.

Sorry for my English...
