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.
