Bitcoin Anonymity

[Zenithar]

Satoshi Nakamoto is probably dead. Therefore, it will be impossible for him to reveal anything.

Fortunately, all of the source code for the Bitcoin program is publicly available.  Anybody can read it and see exactly what it does. There is nothing secret about it at all.  If a government wants to know how bitcoin works and what it does, they can just hire some programmers to look at the source code and tell them.

The software is also available for anybody that wants to contribute to the programming. If a government wants to influence what bitcoin will do in the future, they can just hire some programmers to add programming to Bitcoin.

to the government must be thinking about bitcoin in future, as now bitcoin is becoming more and more popular and therefore the government will compel to accept bitcoin or at least create their own digital currency.

Anonymity is one of the advantages of bitcoin. Maybe not the most important thing, but still important. For me, this is also an important aspect. I would like bitcoin to remain anonymous

too bad bitcoin is not 100% anonymous, you need to work hard to make it anonymous like using a mixer, using monero, zcash or whatever you want, everything is traceable on the blockchain which is there for a reason, but i prefer this way full anonymous would be a problem for the receiver i think

bitcoin is not anonymous there is always a track on transactions,if you don trust doing transactions,buy/sel with someone use escrow and thats is all

The OP seems to think there is a person that speaks for bitcoin and that person could negotiate with a head of state, but that runs contrary to bitcoin there is no head there is no one that can take decisions unilaterally so there is no one to do those negotiations and that is the way it is supposed to be.

Yep you get it right. Now I understand. So we can say that bitcoin is an independent platform for everybody and it is up to the users on how will they manipulate it. Correct if my understanding is wrong.

So if Satoshi Nakamoto is probably dead then there has no face that will represent in behalf of Bitcoin. Then Bitcoin is an independent platform where the users decide on how will they manipulate.

I am greatly enlightened by your post. Thanks by the way
