I find it interesting that his main interest in bitcoin is because of how disruptive it is to banking.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

The nice thing he also seems to understand is that bitcoin needs third-party solutions to implement efficient micro-payment schemes. I think that's why he invested in coinbase. It is a micro-payment enabler on top of bitcoin.
