Except anyone can figure out where my money comes from and where it goes. No thanks!

It still blows my mind that this isn't a bigger issue. Trying to retain any privacy with Bitcoin is an arduous process.

Okay. So I'm anyone. How am I going to know what your addresses are? Starting from where I am right now all the way over here. You did say anyone.
the first time you ever pay anyone for anything the probability that this person can determine your entire net worth is much much higher than if you were to use any other means of value exchange (Cash, credit, check, etc).

You're argument rests on the assumption that people are putting their entire, or close to entire net worth into BTC.
