I wonder what fraction of (1) the trade traffic, and (2) Bitcoin asset ownership cares deeply about the anonymity aspect of bitcoin.

As a corollary, I wonder what fraction of each would stop using bitcoin as a result.

I think those that use Mt Gox aren't so concerned with anonymity. They've had some level of verification for a couple of years.

For those that are concerned with it, they use other means.
