Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto to make us not to be dependent on third parties such as government and banks to control our money. Satoshi gave us the opportunity to control your coins (money) without the interference of anyone. He also made us know that bitcoin is an alternative currency to fiat. This will mean that there is no limitation with bitcoin. Bitcoin is an absolute freedom.
My point is that people should stop making others feel that they are not enjoying the freedom introduced by Satoshi by not following bitcoin principles strictly. Freedom is freedom and should mean freedom.
- If I decide to live a private life that no one knows how much I own, that is great and it is called freedom
- If I decide to do KYC on all the exchanges and gambling sites, that is freedom
- If I decide to leave my coins on exchanges, that is my choice, and it is called freedom
- If I decide to share my private key with everyone I know, that is freedom
- If I decide to use and reuse one particular address for all my transactions, that is freedom
My point is, no one should detect for anyone how to enjoy the freedom. You can only advice or teach, stop seeing people using exchanges or doing kyc as anti bitcoin.
You are confusing the word freedom with the word privacy. All you have listed are concepts that can become freedom if done with the right privacy but if you don't take care of your privacy first how can you claim freedom afterwards? I'll give you a trivial example, a centralized exchange who asks for your KYC documents has already invaded your privacy but at the same time has made you less free because it will only send your documents to the authorities. Instead if you had used a p2p and you would have secured your privacy then you would have untraced Bitcoins and your freedom. It's easy to be free, it's hard to stay free.
Decentralization won't mean this chain speaks for freedom. I'd say less monitored than fiat 'coz in order to make use of it in most of the countries, third party wallets would be needed which are centralised in the first place. KYC and such are also factors which indeed, contrary to what OP have mentioned about Bitcoin being 'free'. But that's fine still. But let us all not be confused of what freedom really is, and that is definitely different from being negligent (as he mentioned keeping ir storing his assets in exchangers, and sharing private keys).There are limits to everything not only in this technology. We should take advantage of this chain's decentralization feature but responsibility would be more appreciated by this industry.
I'll be honest, I didn't understand anything you wrote. Maybe you either misunderstood yourself or used a translator?
I didn't understand what you mean by the concept of freedom and decentralization. We all know how important this is but it's not the only thing to be free.
As I have already explained, freedom is not achieved without taking care of one's privacy.
Centralized wallets? Again I don't understand what it means, do you mean something like Chivo? See what's happening in El Salvador.
