I think Anonymity is a big part of it for me, which has convinced me to use it . I would have second thoughts if it is removed.

i guess if i ever sold things online again i'd still use it for the irreversible transactions, it could at least function as the replacement for e-gold and liberty reserve if nothing else

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

I would still use bitcoin if it had no anonymity. None of my transactions are huge, as long as I am not receiving wages, and paying rent in bitcoin, I don't mind a small part of my spending pattern is tracked.

Depending on your perspective. If you just spend money without thinking where it came from, then you might not care. But if your financial knowledge is enough to understand the money creation of fiat money, then it is definitely much better than fiat money, which in fact is a scam

If the blockchain is so transparent then it'll be harder for a person to keep their identity totally hidden. Perhaps, you can keep your coins off to the side but if you ever use the chain for record keeping, you'd have to put the deed to your house or whatever in your own name I would think or somehow tie whatever record to your person. Would I still use it w/o anonymity? Hell yes! The whole point here is to have a system of value that is fair and isn't being used by banksters to rip the rest of the users off by incessant inflation that is used to fund parasitism and violence.

Technically, BTC is pseudo-anonymous. And probably not.

Anonymity is really an issue if you are doing something illicit. It never really had complete anonymity to begin with, so there isn't really a loss there. If it is to be adopted by the mainstream, then anonymity will hinder its progress and adoption. What we all really want to see is BTC taking over as a mainstream currency and not something out at the fringes for technogeeks and outcasts.

Or tax related. But yeah, we want to get this bugger out of the realm of the techno crowd and synonymous with buying football or baseball tickets with, gas or groceries even. If discounts can be given for purchases, then women will use this like they do their CVS or Walgreen's savers clubs keychain tags. When the shoppers want btc and run the demand up, we're golden.

This would not be possible based on the current bitcoin protocol. As it is now anyone can create a bitcoin address without even connecting to the internet. As it is now someone can sent bitcoin to an address without verifying that someone is actually is in possession of a private key associated with the public address. The current protocol would not possibly allow for such regulations to be implemented.
I would highly doubt that a consensus would be reached that would agree to similar terms

i am not using bitcoin because it's anonymous (never had any illegal business) but if i would loose my pseudonimity it would be an orwellian nightmare and i would stop using it and maybe even start opposing it.

So which government-free country have you moved to? Just curious. Yeah I would like to know where he has moved to with no functioning government.

Yes OP I would still use it, anonymity is not the reason I am in it for and it would certainly control some frauds and scams that keeps happening.

Scams will not be stopped with that. They would still be happening. All that happens is: the government spys on your ass.

l'll use Splarknaf, the first debt based cryptocurrency. We just don't give a shit who you are as long as you make your minimum monthly payments.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

No,I wouldn't . The underlying security issues haven't been addressed. The price is still too volatile! It still can't compete with fiat yet at these aspects.
