Exactly, imperfect! Hence the need for a TTP. This is not freedom, as most bitcoiners understand it.
Without anon/pseudo/nymity there is no freedom because you are constantly at the mercy of an unfairly stronger opponent.
This is why Bitcoin severs the link between the reputation and the "real" person, but attaches it to its speech instead. Restoring this link, what you are advocating for, is undoing Satoshi's work.
I think your finances should be private, and bitcoiners should absolutely be anonymous. I’m only talking about posts in the *public* square.
That's what Twitter is for, not nostr. :-)
I don't want to sound like I'm nitpicking but Bitcoin is also speech posted in the public square, just like this post. You can't have it both ways.
I subscribe to the idea that people should have the freedom to selectively reveal themselves to the public, this is why I post publicly, but zap anon'ly.
