It is the complete opposite case from Satoshi.
While I think it is pretty obvious who Satoshi is, there really is no proof to state it categorically.
On the other hand, the Samourai guys had a legal company and their names were linked to that company; I myself exposed their names here when they were selling fake privacy.
They were not the sharpest pencils in the box.
And now we all have to pay for their irresponsibility?

What nobody tells you about Samourai
Samourai were some guys who wanted to make money, but in a fraudulent way, and by fraudulent I mean selling a product that was completely defective and offered no privacy from the coordinator’s point of view — in other words, it wasn’t zerolink.
They weren’t even careful with their own privacy.
They exposed themselves to the state on their own, and now they don’t want to accept the consequences.
It’s fine that this whole story gets sugarcoated with sentimentalism, but that’s the truth.
None of this would have happened if they had understood firsthand what the state is and that the state is just waiting for you to make the slightest mistake to screw you over.
It’s ironic, to say the least, that you offer a privacy service when you yourself are incapable of being private, all while knowing that what you’re doing is “illegal” in the eyes of the state — but of course, as long as you were making money, everything was fine.
You don't need an ideology or to kiss up to its proponents; what you need is to protect your family.

Behind every ideology there is always an interest
This is a clear example to follow. The Pirate Bay managed to get off the hook in a specific case in 2015; they never actually won in court. They simply kept operating, accepting the consequences but doing everything they could to ensure they couldn’t be convicted.
There’s no other way: accept your responsibility if that gang of thieves called the state catches you, and therefore do everything in your power to avoid getting caught—and if you do get caught, try to keep your work going.
Defiance and struggle are the answer.

Things you can do before getting into Bitcoin that are just as important—or even more so:
- Stop using social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and all that crap.
- Especially, stop using Windows.
- Use Tor and a VPN.
In short, stop giving your personal information to the technocratic system.
There are too many issues to address besides the monetary one.
Humanity has fallen into the trap of technocracy; Google was the beginning, and everything has been simmering away little by little, like a frog in a pot.
In life, nothing is perfect, and there are no certainties either
Privacy is more important than Bitcoin

If you are moderately intelligent, think a little:
An alien species that is capable of controlling space-time curvature to travel across galaxies would obviously have cloaking technology; they wouldn’t let apes like us observe them.
Stop believing in bullshit. Obviously extraterrestrial life exists, it’s a matter of statistics, but neither the FBI nor the CIA nor any Jew will see it.
