Stop making such a big deal about it. Think of it as cash - it's effectively anonymous, and would you think it a violation of your privacy if your nation put out a mandatory census that asks whether you use cash? Stop getting into that horrible "I must be anonymous at every single thing I do" mindset. It's unhealthy.
Anonymity is what they have chosen as their point of reference, but if you read in between the lines, you won't fail to notice their grievance is simply the control they lost. Take it or leave it, Bitcoin is a major threat to the Euro and in case, you ain't aware, within three months time, the ECB have scheduled to commence quantitative easing and that in the simplest term means - pumping so much money out of thin air. Can you imagine what digit of inflation that awaits the Euro zone? I think you should rather be saying thank goodness there is a safe haven like bitcoin, people can turn to.
