Bitcoin technically doesn't have anonymity to begin with, it's only through VPNs and other such services that you can be truly anonymous, people who make the claim that Bitcoin is anonymous don't know how it works, now when Dark Wallet releases that will be another story though.

Not necessarily but it doesn't have to offer 100% anonymity by itself, it just gives you the ability to do so if you wish. Plus you still need to offer zero personal details to use it unlike a bank or paypal account so it is anonymous in that respect. .

No,I wouldn't . The underlying security issues haven't been addressed. The price is still too volatile! It still can't compete with fiat yet at these aspects.

I would use Monero instead

Yes OP I would still use it, anonymity is not the reason I am in it for and it would certainly control some frauds and scams that keeps happening.

Scams will not be stopped with that. They would still be happening. All that happens is: the government spys on your ass.

...Governments belong to the past, especially to me, since I changed country last week.

So which government-free country have you moved to? Just curious.

Yeah I would like to know where he has moved to with no functioning government.

i am not using bitcoin because it's anonymous (never had any illegal business) but if i would loose my pseudonimity it would be an orwellian nightmare and i would stop using it and maybe even start opposing it.

This would not be possible based on the current bitcoin protocol. As it is now anyone can create a bitcoin address without even connecting to the internet. As it is now someone can sent bitcoin to an address without verifying that someone is actually is in possession of a private key associated with the public address. The current protocol would not possibly allow for such regulations to be implemented.

I would highly doubt that a consensus would be reached that would agree to similar terms

Anonymity is really an issue if you are doing something illicit. It never really had complete anonymity to begin with, so there isn't really a loss there. If it is to be adopted by the mainstream, then anonymity will hinder its progress and adoption. What we all really want to see is BTC taking over as a mainstream currency and not something out at the fringes for technogeeks and outcasts.
Or tax related. But yeah, we want to get this bugger out of the realm of the techno crowd and synonymous with buying football or baseball tickets with, gas or groceries even. If discounts can be given for purchases, then women will use this like they do their CVS or Walgreen's savers clubs keychain tags. When the shoppers want btc and run the demand up, we're golden.

Technically, BTC is pseudo-anonymous. And probably not.

If the blockchain is so transparent then it'll be harder for a person to keep their identity totally hidden. Perhaps, you can keep your coins off to the side but if you ever use the chain for record keeping, you'd have to put the deed to your house or whatever in your own name I would think or somehow tie whatever record to your person. Would I still use it w/o anonymity? Hell yes! The whole point here is to have a system of value that is fair and isn't being used by banksters to rip the rest of the users off by incessant inflation that is used to fund parasitism and violence.

Depending on your perspective. If you just spend money without thinking where it came from, then you might not care. But if your financial knowledge is enough to understand the money creation of fiat money, then it is definitely much better than fiat money, which in fact is a scam

I would still use bitcoin if it had no anonymity. None of my transactions are huge, as long as I am not receiving wages, and paying rent in bitcoin, I don't mind a small part of my spending pattern is tracked.
