Not to mention that that is associated with a government ID and a photo. Why not just use a bank account...?

- pera 13y agoAs betterunix said, Bitcoin is not anonymous (http://bitcoin.org/en/you-need-to-know http://bitcoin.org/en/you-need-to-know). It's like BitTorrent: many peers know your IP address and authorities can trace you with some help of your ISP, though you can use Bitcoin through Tor, but then the problem is how you obtain BTCs and how you spend them... anonymity is not trivial :) About your question: I'd many bad experiences with banks (probably I'm not alone), and payment processor (ie PayPal) are problematic too. I like Bitcoin because is in my point of view most secure and easiest way to transfer money, and also the technology behind it is brilliant.
