I can't disagree with the idea that if Satoshi was known Bitcoin would be alive because I too believe a big power would have came and shut it down. Because of this I try my best to only support and use anonymous exchanges but moving forward that may be impossible (centralized exchanges though), but we may have an alternative yet (DEX's).
Exactly my point here. Some Government, high power fellas would have done anything within their power to stop Bitcoin. Whether it is decentralized or not doesnt matter, they have ways to do it if you get what I mean. Think out of the box
