Bitcoin, like Tor, is essentially a honeypot for surveillance. Better to hide out in plain sight in my opinion.

  What evidence have you got that Tor is a surveillance honeypot?

    Never forget: ToR is funded by the US government.

      So?

        If you control both the tor entrance and exit nodes, you can unmask the user. Statistically, controlling 300 nodes (~1% of the network) should be enough to unmask a large number of users. It is not hard to spin up a whole bunch of servers to the mix, and I would find it very hard to believe that the NSA/similar does not already control a substantial portion of the network.
