> Being able to anonymously transfer value should be a fundamental right

Why? That doesn't seem like that would produce good outcomes. It's not a 'fundamental right' to transfer unlimited amounts of money with no oversight.

Money is not speech. If you care at all about governments being able to function from taxes, financial regulation, and myriad other things, you don't want people to be able to anonymously transfer as much money as they want.

Even cash has regulations about reporting, especially over certain amounts.
