Edwards Snowden think he's Satoshi Nakamoto, so he has a huge power to make the developers listen to him, while actually he's just an Average Joe in Bitcoin...
You definitely don't understand Bitcoin if you really think Satoshi Nakamoto has such a power/influence over BTC devs.
Hell, BTC Core devs have zero power/influence over miners... miners have the final word, since they possess the hashrate.
But bitcoin works with an unprecedented level of transparency that most people are not used to dealing with,does it mean that after all these years of improving and promoting bitcoin it still lacks privacy to operate for functionality and security.
To be honest,this latest warning has instilled fear amongst/midst of crypto communities.Bitcoin developers are supposed to be aware of this lapses all along.
Bitcoin was invented as a heavy dose of anonymity and privacy altogether.So if privacy becomes a threat,that should be a withdrawal in privacy services and system abnormality.Anyways,bitcoin has it ways of responding to solutions and protocols.
It could be a REMINDER or WARNING!
