Good title. Unfortunately, the article misses the mark by a mile. Obviously, mining was centralized in the beginning. Bitcoin's lack of anonymity is disastrous for Bitcoin for many other reasons that the authors seem to be unaware of.
LN can be more private than debit/ccs with tor/taproot/running your own node. Not as private as a dedicated privacy coin (xmr) though. I think anyone willing to spend time can get the info. But in theory LN would be more difficult for mass harvesting of info to sell than our current systems.

Bitcoin was never valueable, it would always remain valueless though.
BTC is not anonymous at all, you dont need to be very smart to understand that.
If BTC would become anonymous, I would gonna leave this planet too soon.
NYT is feeling more and more like a US version of Pravda.
Whatsoever, its really good to use Monero, as this is the best privacy coin ever, where BTC maxis too have to agree with this fact

"Satoshi Nakamoto had presented the currency as anonymous". Did he...?
I believe PSEUDOANONYMOUS, but media always has an agenda.
BTC is a little bit less anonymous than a 100$ bill.
