I guess calling it pseudo-anonymous would confuse the common mortal.
Actually not sure if I would like to pay an escort with Bitcoin instead of cash.. there will be a transaction recorded belonging to you + an escort banging session, vs 0 recordings of that happening if you pay with cash. I don't really see the benefits to be honest. If only CoinJar, confidential transactions, Dark wallets and all that stuff got finished and properly working, then maybe people will be more prone to pay this kind of service using Bitcoin :p
My thoughts exactly. In any sort of face to face transactions, there is much less tracability with cash, BTC is indeed not a very goo way to stay fully anonymous. But with cash withdrawn you still need to be somewhat careful. I'm pretty sure all banks log the bill serial numbers when you withdraw cash.
Funny that BTC is being begged at a criminal's currency when there is so much tracability, meanwhile Cash is still the most convenient for criminals, face to face.
At 20-30 BTC per hour (so I read on reddit) it would be pretty hard to have that amount of hard cash on you anyway.
