I think certain people need to be anonymous like Satoshi.
But the vast, vast majority do not. And no doubt by revealing yourself you add some personal risk. But game theory-wise, you reduce your long-term risk by normalizing the use of the protocol under your own name.
I really think the message should be stand up, don’t apologize or hide for using freedom tech. Otherwise it’s not freedom tech.
Ultimately I would like for that to be a personal choice. Everyone can choose how much they want to reveal. I've taken a bit of a middle road personally.
Without people like Matt advocating for privacy the choice may vanish. He has sacrificed his own privacy to stand up for the privacy of others, which I appreciate.
100 percent agree you should have the choice to conjoin. No objection to that at all. I don’t care to out anyone.
I’m just saying the message is backwards and a drag on the purpose of the tech which is freedom.
I’m not taking issue with Matt (I don’t know him.) I’m disagreeing with the message in that particular post.
Some people criticize bitcoin for being an echo chamber of people who all agree with eachother.
Little do they know how many different perspectives exist in the community. That's what keeps us strong 🙂
Satoshi envisioned what we now know as Monero. He just didn't know how to make it, at the time.
Other folks with the necessary skills came and build it. But he described it.
So you're basically saying that you're smarter than Satoshi and he was wrong all the time.
Nice try, feds.
