Is there a way to make a currency like Bitcoin credible as a store of value or means of payment, without impinging on the privacy of the currency creators or holders?

Only for larger transactions to prevent money laundaring. Basically regular cash transactions could also be done online anonymously as long as the seller is transparent to tax authorities.

GNU Taler conceptualizes such a system where the buyer is anonymous but the seller is not.
