However, BTC is just a great example that might find followers who will make it hmmmm... more anonymous.
Money has just two functions:
(1) It has to maintain its value over time
(2) People must accept it as means of setting payments
BTC seems to meet both.
It's not anonymous "enough", but I guess this could be fixed with another iteration. (another electronic currency).
It would be great for the world to have more currencies than the monopolistic currencies enforced by the modern states (fiat currencies). Just to own something that doesn't have its monetary base doubled in 4 years, would be awesome! (USD base rose two times from 2008 to 2012).

Full anonymity can be had with the addition zero-coin. Currently the bitcoin team doesn't feel that it has a place in the main protocol, but that may change in the future.
