Great read. Truly insightful.

Mostly great points - though the one about it being anonymous is a bit misleading.  It is technically possible to stay 100% anonymous, but in practice is can be difficult to stay that way.  This is especially true if at some point your address is linked to you, then all past transactions involving that address can be "linked" to you.  With the right protection/paranoia you can avoid most of this, but for most people this isn't the standard behavior.
