I'm anything but. However until states are made obsolete (inevitable IMO, at least for states as we know them today) I see ₿ being used by states on their way to becoming insignificant compared to individuals who can prevent their assets being seized. The transparency of the Blockchain already allows us all to know when governments move ₿ (as recently happened with both the US government and the German government), and prevents them from printing money and moving massive sums around unnoticed.
The only reason we're currently afraid of being tracked as individuals is because governments have significantly more power due to their ability to print money and move it in secrecy. This power is slowly shifting due to the power Blockchain grants the individual to control their own economic energy outside of government interference and manipulation.
With billions of people, only the largest wallets will be paid attention to enough to matter once the government loses it's unlimited money source. Until then, small fry like us can just use common sense in how when and where we use our coins.
