This chain is broken when money changes through different hands and never touches an ATM.
Sure you can still have private detectives and co following your every move and check that, so yes you are right that we are never 100% anonymous but that is not the point.
Governments should not be able to instantly see what i purchased with my money.
They still should be able to prevent money laundering and other nefarious things that could be done.
I feel like it goes in a good direction, if they can deliver what they say they want.
For me it sounds very similar to what Taler is already providing.
