Bitcoin is not anonymous.

The transactions may be public, but your identity can be masked if done properly.

If you want to mask your identity wouldn't you be better off buying Visa gift cards with cash at a major store and then using them to purchase services online?

surveillance cameras at the checkout, not to mention the ridiculously high reload fee.

Stores have cameras and Visa cards have unique numbers. Not too hard to put the two together.

Bitcoin let's you transact without having to interact in physical space to acquire or spend them.

No, you would not.
