It kind of sucks that Bitcoin being the poster-boy for free, anonymous currency free of government is still being pestered by governments.

I guess Uncle Sam wants his cut!

Bitcoin is not anonymous; every transaction is recorded and public.

Bitcoin is more pseudonymous than anonymous: you can trace the transactions of an identity, but there's nothing inherent about that identity that links it back to IRL unless theres additional information
