What are your thoughts on that topic?
I was convinced by his argument for privacy and against anonymity.
Anonymous coins would take the risk (money handover) out of a lot of crimes.

Fair enough.
So far I have never heard a good argument on how to deal with the fact that kidnapping and extortion would lose most of their risk with anonymous coins becoming wide spread.
But maybe it's just a trade off.
Yeah it's an important point. But we have lots of stuff today and through history that is equally hard to trace, and people tend to find innovative solutions more adaptable than blanket trace-ability 100% of the time baked in.
