If you assume that craig/nchain is in control, then just read his twitter feed to learn that they want to recover stale coins, remove P2SH, remove anonymity as a concept.. (cont)

Recovering stale coins is FUD. He means that decades from now, Moore's law will eventually make it financially feasible to brute force "mine" keys encrypted with current algorithms.

sounds more like a threat than FUD...

No, he does want to recover lost coins. The guy is a nut bag, and is as bad for Bitcoin as Core.

There are more than one way to handle that scenario. One could very publicly "sunset" (to use his own words) the systems and then lock them down.

how removing anonymity?

P2SH wasn't part of the original, so it makes sense. All the other things don't make sense at all.
replied 2050d
How has not been specified. Just a clarification that they want pseudonymity only because anonymity enables lawbreaking and they want to build to cater to current law.

anyone knows that bitcoin isn't anonymous in it's current form already.
