As we can see each and every transaction for bitcoin is publicly registered to the blockchain where in all of us have access, so I am just thinking if anonymity or providing privacy will be the next move for bitcoin. Just my thoughts, you can add yours here and let's discuss it.

I don't see the future of Bitcoin in absolute anonymity. Certainly Bitcoin would not be so widely accepted if it were 100% anonymous. We all want Bitcoin to become mainstream at some point, but this will certainly not happen if Bitcoin is completely anonymous and continues to be used for illegal purposes. Yes, we can never completely prevent that with the illegal things, but complete anonymity would speak for the illegal use and thus hinder the way into seriousness. So I wouldn't like it if Bitcoin took this road. Besides, there are already other coins that fill this niche.  Smiley
