P2P was never standing for being anonymous at all
Again, read the whitepaper. It clearly says p2p cash, which involves p2p's features AND cash features, simple as that. And no, a public ledger where everything can be clearly traced and anyone with enough resources can know if you bought a coffee, toothpaste, a porn movie or some ak47 because you believe in imaginary men in the sky or something, is not p2p cash.
Anonymity is what has caused so many of the "mishaps" in the crypto world that i really don't see development of such features to be beneficial. We should be working to build a better public image and increase adoption rather than hiding the traces of our use of such technology. I understand that in some jurisdictions there is little to no privacy protections and that use of such "disruptive" technology can cause complications however that is only the case for a minority and it is the majority that we should develop things further.
Until we can get passed this whole "obsession" with anonymity then we will not see huge growth in adoption.

I don't think satoshi nakamoto cared about what the status quo thought about Bitcoin, it was not in it's vision. If you want a different Bitcoin than satoshi's vision, that's another story.
