Bitcoin was never anonymous. Anybody who said it is, was stupid or lying. Anybody who thought it is, may be in for a rude shock with unknown timing. The notion that Bitcoin is anonymous is a persistent, pernicious myth. Its a global ledger, wherein each copy of the blockchain shows in full all transactions ever made. What is so hard to understand about this?

I wonder if the Core Engineers will start to look at ways to keep Bitcoin anonymous

They have been, for awhile. But things develop slowly in Bitcoin. They cant just smack on a new feature, at risk of accidentally dropping a billion dollars worth of coins on the floor.

It is not hard but most people do not want to take the time to read about the myths of bitcoin, of all the myths that is probably one of most long lasting and in my opinion is one of the most damaging since people think they can get away with anything because they think they are anonymous.
