The anonymity is overrated anyway. At some point you want to turn your currency into tangible benefit like food or a car or drugs or whatever. At that point it isn't hard to connect the anonymous wallet with the guy who bought the new Ferrari out of thin air.

If you spent it all on drugs it would be anonymous.
