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.

Amen to that
No lies here about the state.
I’m not educated enough on cryptography to speak intelligent about it. But I’m pushing and learning everyday 🙏😎🫡

If Satoshi had made a bitcoin LLC, what could it even do?
So how do we make sure that we can control meat space too? How do we bridge that gap?
What I mean is, yes we can opt out and that's good and useful, but what about when we want to achieve things irl? Even you're using your real identity here as an example.
Or do you just mean that being able to selectively keep certain things private such as transactions and private messages is enough of a shield? Just asking for clarification.
I'm more knowledgeable about freedom tech than the average person, yet I'm not a cyberpunk and I make mistakes to the point that I'm sure if someone wanted to figure out who I am they'd have no issue doing so given enough time. But that's true of everyone, the more knowledgeable you are the less mistakes you will make and the more effort will be required to locate you.
Just do your personal best, and try not to worry too much IMO.

Just realized that the monero people consider this, somehow nostr bitcoiners feel invincible

There's a simpler reason the state hasn't killed satoshi...
