 The philosophy behind #Bitcoin is like a manifesto for financial freedom. Created by Satoshi Nakamoto, it challenges the traditional structures of the financial system, putting power in the hands of the people. It is a statement against the centralization of money and government intervention. Based on principles of decentralization, transparency and autonomy, Bitcoin promotes the idea that everyone should have control over their own money, without depending on intermediaries. It is a vision of a world where financial borders are dispelled and freedom is the motto.

 The only problem is that the masses are not following what was outlined in the 2008 white paper Nakamoto wrote. If we were, we wouldn't be seeing centralized nonsense centered around BTC. That's my opinion on it. Good points otherwise. 
 It's understandable to feel that way. Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision for Bitcoin was indeed centered around decentralization and peer-to-peer transactions. As the cryptocurrency space has evolved, various factors, including centralized exchanges and mining pools, have shifted the landscape somewhat from the initial vision. It's always valuable to reflect on the core principles and strive to maintain them as much as possible.
