In what way does crypto "keep insisting on anonymity"?

It's a system of private keys. You can attach identities to these keys, or you can not attach identities to them. The tech itself is unopinionated in this way.

Tech isn’t insulated from culture, and crypto culture so far has heavily emphasized anonymity, starting from the very beginning with Satoshi’s undisclosed identity.

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that you even started seeing real world identity startups pop up.
