I respect the feature of privacy and it is important to most people nowadays but it is not important for me because nobody cares about me like they are going to trace about my money so that they can find what do I do with my money how do I earn it. I spend most of my money on my needs and in my education so I do not think I should care about privacy. But let's assume that our government do not want us to use or accept Bitcoin in our daily life then I think we can use VPN or anything else to hide our activity but still we are going to use it because it is no wrong and at that point privacy will be important for everyone in my country.
It would be a problem if you had a "good amount of money" for a thief. Which could literally be $100. If they know where you live because they have linked your identity they could rob you for it. We havent seen any cases of robberies over $100 YET, however we have seen millionaires get robed because their identity was linked.
