A valid point and definitely something people should be aware of. It's disingenuous to call Bitcoin anonymous. On the other hand, "anonymous" is to some degree like computer "security". Secure against what threat? Anonymous to who? Paper money is certainly traceable to some degree. Plus it almost requires you to meet in person, where the other person in the transaction can see your physical appearance (or your proxy/accomplice's). Both mediums of exchange have similar risk profiles, but they are a little bit different. Not sure that I'd argue one is better than the other, generally. Depends on the use case.
