I'm referencing the core idea of it being decentralized and "anonymous"

A public ledger is not really anonymous, whether you put that in quotes or not. It can be censored, and this is a difficult game theory problem to solve. There are a few major mining pools which build the blocks, and some think that is not decentralized.

Bitcoin was an amazing advancement and I hope it can grow into solving some of these apparent challenges.
