Re: Bitcoin should never become fully anonymous- don't fool yourself
If the FBI, CIA & NSA could've never traced a Bitcoin tx since they heard of it, I bet it would've been banned long ago. Bitcoin serves us as the financial freedom we need in a semi authority-compliant way and that's enough - for anonymity, as others said before me too, there are other coins out there that you can use.
But as we can see, anonymity is one step closer to extinction every day.
If even prepaid cards are going to require an ID in all of the EU, then I don't know how someone could expect privacy coins not to have a bit of trouble sooner or later. On the other hand though, they do serve an amazing purpose and OTC trading will still be a thing if you're a privacy seeker.
The top pro when it comes to cryptocurrencies is that you have a choice. I mean, you have way more choices than you should've had but you do have reliable coins to cover +90% of your purposes with.
