EU Plans To End Anonymity For Bitcoin And Prepaid Card Users

Its a bad news, i am using bitcoin because of the anonymous factor, if this really happen, i think i will try to look for other coin that can provides anonymity

bitcoin has never been so anonymous...it is/was rather pseudo-anonymous.

well it depend, there is a common mixconception here

bitcoin is actually fully anon if you only move your bitcoin from one place to another, unless you can telling me what was my lost coins that was moved from one address to another on the chain

instead if you associated a shipping address or you do it on a exchange with a bank account, i can agree that it's not anonymous anymore

This is why it should be considered pseudo-anonymous, it doesn't exist anything in this world that it can be considered 100% anonymous.

Fighting the terrorism is just a pretext for all those bureaucrats who listen to the big banks to try to kill Bitcoin. The only thing they can do is to close bank accounts of the exchanges that don't want to cooperate. For the moment I only see Kraken. I'm not really an expert in exchanges, so there might be more. I hope that they will be smart enough and will go in a sympathic country that will let them do what they want.

if you see the whole picture yes, you can said so, but you can choose to follow the total anonymous way with bitcoin, and be perfectly untraceable
