Look, it’s pretty simple: If the state can identify you, it can target and kill you. Doesn’t matter why, it just can. There is a reason Satoshi was anonymous and why bitcoin isn’t an LLC. That’s because if you don’t have a physical space or identity to be located, the state can’t physically or economically harm you. With cryptography, you actually have a shot at hiding from the state, and building things that they cannot stop.

I'm more knowledgeable about freedom tech than the average person, yet I'm not a cyberpunk and I make mistakes to the point that I'm sure if someone wanted to figure out who I am they'd have no issue doing so given enough time. But that's true of everyone, the more knowledgeable you are the less mistakes you will make and the more effort will be required to locate you. Just do your personal best, and try not to worry too much IMO.

There's a simpler reason the state hasn't killed satoshi... nostr:nevent1qqstn2jj8xk3rg6yufkma496mnzzz2305unh44vf5jcvs9pr9wms6egpz3mhxue69uhhxmrfvd4jumt2v4uzumt99upzp0v7ketuyk60dndx3pcuuf39n50eh33yypy8uv3yjpdkwjn3pfz6qvzqqqqqqyxz6mxq
