we can’t really change how the network works, it’s always been that way, and it’s open source. But I believe what Satoshi really wanted was for people to transact freely, with no KYC, no restrictions, and complete anonymity.

Some might argue that if Bitcoin had stayed purely anonymous, it might not have grown this big since it wouldn’t have gotten government support. So in a way, it feels like Bitcoin’s growth partly came from playing along with the rules governments wanted.

Now we have ETFs, which are probably one of the main reasons Bitcoin has pumped significantly, but they’re basically a playground for Wall Street, and they could end up being the main manipulators in the future.

But really… is this what Satoshi would’ve wanted to see? Or did he already imagine this possibility from the start?
