It's not just important to me. It's the number one concern.
Bitcoin is hardly anonymous in itself...
Imagine your best friend; someone you trust with your life asks you to show him/her all your emails, text messages, phone conversations and what you buy or sell. This person will then permanently record everything. Would you allow it?
Now imagine a faceless entity having access to all that information.

As others have mentioned, the increasing surveillance of citizens doing nothing wrong (e.g. the NSA adding people to a watch list for merely searching privacy related terms) is unacceptable to me. This intrusion extends to financial matters where the government is overly paternalistic and have overreached their authority. For example, most reputable foreign online casinos will not accept US players due to repercussions from the US government. I don't want/need the government trying to protect me from myself, and it's not their role, or shouldn't be anyway.
Another example, if I decide to give a family member some money to help them out and it exceeds $13k, then the IRS requires they pay taxes on that money. Where in the hell does the IRS get the idea that they get a cut when family members want to help each other out? Absolutely f*#king ridiculous. So when I learned about bitcoin, I started using it as much as possible.
It is important to me because I would rather not a bunch of random people knowing my personal financial business.
They can STILL see your purchases and what you've sent out if they know your BTC address can't they?
So you're still being watched.

I think it used to be only important if you were doing something wrong or that you didn't want known. As time has progressed, the surveillance that is done on the general public has gotten to the point where it is almost scary. Day by day anonymity is becoming more and more important.
True.
So it's just the public watching you that most people are afraid of?
Because everyone can report it and social media is so easily accessible now?
And also because you just don't want some transactions to be known?

So regarding BTC, I understand why people use it.
So you can't be tracked down, it's useful, it's fast, etc etc.
But do you remain anonymous because of blackhat related activities?
Do you just not want to be known?
I personally don't care. I just think that BTC is a great investment for me.
Is Anonymity not that important to you?
