Indeed, back during the block size debate when Bitcoin core devs were being pressured by obsessive performance-freak CEOs to degrade security for the sake of TPS, even these most careful & talented devs introduced security holes in the process of tweaking performance.https://twitter.com/IslandHunting/status/1093267364089602051 …

There’s a CEO who can pressure Bitcoin Core devs? Is Bitcoin Core a company? Does that CEO control the salary of the devs or how does he/she pressure them?

Wow did you miss some good drama that eventually resulted in Bitcoin Cash, SegWit, the thankfully DOA SegWIt2x ("fire the core developers"), etc.

Quick question: does the lack of anonymity of Bitcoin transactions concern you? As I think about it... if it's not anonymous seems like it could be tightly regulated. Thoughts on this topic?

Bitcoin has weak anonymity -- it doesn't depend on ID for its security or use. So it doesn't have such a dependency that would make it easy to regulate. It lacks strong anonymity, but as current ZCash woes demonstrate, that's hard to do, alas.
