Adam Back reveals why Satoshi Nakamoto chose to be anonymous, or realizes that BTC will reform currency risks

According to ChainCatcher, Blockstream United and CEO Adam Back posted a statement on the X platform that P2P networks participating in providing privacy, anonymity and bearer funds have node operation risks. This risk can be traced back decades. The risk of Bitcoin node operators is not new. Although Bitcoin's risk is lower than file sharing to some extent, as bearer cash and hard currency, Bitcoin once faced significantly higher risks, because BTC is reforming currency, after all, the risk of separating currency from the country is greater. Although some countries are gradually accepting Bitcoin and relevant regulations are becoming more and more open, they are still in a gray area or illegal state in some countries. Therefore, even core developers may face huge risks when they expose their identities in the early stage. Satoshi Nakamoto realized that this risk may make sense, so he chose to issue Bitcoin anonymously.
