According to Bijie.com, on September 16th, Adam Back, co-founder and CEO of Blocksteam, published a post on the X platform stating that participating in P2P networks that provide privacy, anonymity, and bearer funds carries node operation risks, a risk that dates back decades. The risks faced by Bitcoin node operators are not new. While Bitcoin's risks are somewhat lower than those of file sharing, as bearer cash and hard currency, the risks faced by Bitcoin were clearly much higher. This is because BTC is reforming currency, and the risk of separating currency from the state is greater. Although some countries are gradually accepting Bitcoin and related regulations are becoming more open, it still remains in a gray area or illegal in some countries. Therefore, even core developers could face significant risks if their identities were exposed in the early stages. Satoshi Nakamoto was aware of this risk and perhaps justified his decision to issue Bitcoin anonymously.
