I wonder what would have happened to bitcoin if satoshi nakamoto was an American and come to think of it will all what we've been denied of in cryptocurrency world come to past already? I'm talking about ETF ,bakkt ,regulations ? If America was bitcoin birth home what would have happened by now? Just a thought

Look, the US is the dominating country in the world, many countries respect and follow what the US does, so if satoshi appeared and say that it is American, some countries would look at it as something good, but countries like Russia, China and others would see this is something created to destroy their countries. Maybe that's why satoshi is anonymous and nobody knows your nationality

That can actually be one aspect of this whole story we have to think about. This is one reason why Bitcoin is actually not labeled as belonging to one country and definitely not marketed as an american invention because supposed enemies of America can be reacting negatively if it were. In fact, I have read some articles akin to conspiracy theories that Bitcoin was made and being utilized by the American elites to destroy the global order and made things pro-USA...which is of course not true that is why stories like that do not gain traction in the marketplace.
