1) It is NOT anonymous at all.
That Bitcoin is anonymous is what the media told you and not what bitcoin.org says.
[other stuff]
Bitcoin is still Beta and not ready for mainstream adoption.
8 ) Since bitcoin is like cash, it's a thief's dream come true, because once you send the bitcoins, they're gone. The scammers and con artists will ceaselessly zerg the Internet from the convenience of their terminals in far away lands, in their never ending quest to steal anything they can.
As you said...it's like cash and cash can be stolen from you.
