Take out the “anonymous” part and it’s pretty much correct. Trustless value transfer is very powerful.

Bitcoin hasn’t been “deanonymized”. It’s never been anonymous. Some of its value actually comes from its extreme transparency.

That said, privacy is important when it comes to money and there are various ways people implement privacy. Both on top of bitcoin and outside of bitcoin.

I don’t know what 51% attack has to do with anonymity though.

The 51% bit had to do with ‘not needing trust’, not the anonymity.
