I did some research on Bitcoin because I was interested in it, and I discovered that the key principles of Bitcoin are peer-to-peer, anonymity, pseudonymity, decentralization, and operating without a middleman to ensure that Bitcoiners can have financial freedom. However, despite knowing that Bitcoiners adhere to these tenets, why do some Bitcoiners act contrary to them? Why do they continue to support centralized exchanges, use them, and retain their Bitcoin there?
Bitcoin is indeed decentralized, anonymous and those who own it are financially free, but at this time there are still many countries that have not allowed bitcoin to be fully legal, let alone to be used as a means of payment, it seems that it is still far from being able to happen throughout the world. Even though there are countries that use bitcoin as a means of payment, such as El Salvador. But still, that's only one country, there are still very many countries that have not been able to fully accept bitcoin.
And thus, bitcoiners must still follow the rules made by their respective countries, even though it is against the philosophy of bitcoin. But it is still an obligation that must be carried out by its citizens. such as using legal money in the country, and other rules.
maybe that's the factor that makes bitcoiners still use fiat money, a centralized system and other rules.
