I'm sorry to be the one to inform you of this but it is technically impossible to be pseudonymous while being active on the internet when the Five Eyes are after you.
Every darknet market ends up busted one way or another. Also INB4 "but satoshi is pseudonymous". The US Gov likely knows who he is, or at least has some very good guesses as to his identity. If they wanted to prosecute him, they would find him.
This is terrible advice.

not true at all. the dark/grey web is only growning and becoming a harder problem
plus writing code vs running a massive drug distribution operation are 2 different things entirely. you're concessions to government are embarrassing for the movement
are you one of the people using an iPhone on here telling people you can't stay pseudonymous online?
Not sure what happened to my reply here, I hope it was an error and was never sent vs me getting reported and deleted from relays but from memory I'll summarize.
Your defeatist opinion here ensures that this reality will perpetuate. If everybody puts up their arms and goes "oh well" we'll see many worse cases than Samourai Wallet or Tornado Cash.
You are also incorrect to say that you cannot be pseudononymous or create software that can't be taken down. Darknet services are incredibly difficult to subpoena having no domain let alone public IP address. They are also very resilient, always popping up to replace each other in case of targeted state attack.
This is reality, not advice.
Consider why you're even in this movement reporting on these cases, this isn't just arbitrary privacy infringements for everybody: its life or incarceration or death for many.
