...Being anonymous:
-is good and helps everyone grow well by taking down any form of unnecessary competition
-it reduces external fight or confrontation (if you're known the people close to you would want to confront you if you maybe replied negatively to their post )
-it also ensures safety of every member in the forum in the outside world.
-it creates equal opportunity for growth in the forum(this is the major benefit as slated in the topic)

Ofcourse, it helps reduce biases in workplace and enable people focus on information rather than identity, to help them make informed decisions. Many immediately arrive at conclusions by mere looking at faces or other identities without going through the issues.
And being anonymous benefits certain kinds of people more and could make them work better without being bothered by people constantly starring while gossiping/thinking about them instead of being very focused on their works or what matters. . Cryptocurrency space seems like a perfect place for such people as it also enables them to be hidden, focused on work, blindly execute justice and do their work without being bias towards any particular coworker, like a friend or love one.
Typical workplaces are not suitable for independent minded and reserved people who likely value anonymity more. They want to be hidden in solitary space without being bothered by unnecessary distraction/noise. It gives them great sense of relief to be hidden in public.
