As we all know, Bitcoin is decentralized, and in its early days, we were proud of that fact--believing no government could control it and even thinking it might replace fiat. Those were the days when we were highly optimistic about Bitcoin’s future.
However, with the current AML (Anti-Money Laundering) policies in place, it seems like Bitcoin’s decentralization is being challenged by regulations, especially with the introduction of KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements.
Can we still enjoy the decentralized nature of bitcoin?
Of course we can. Decentralisation is becoming harder and harder as days go by just like you said. However we still have the bitcoin network as a decentralised network no matter what. Of course the government wants to be in control every single time, however the nature of bitcoin is fully based on decentralisation starting from mining down to even price.
The best way we can assist is for more people to key into decentralisation especially because of it's importance and freedom. Another important thing is to vote in the right leaders. Most topics about Trump and this election is to endeavour people to vote someone who's in support of the bitcoin and decentralisation network and not someone against it.
