The bill is like 3x shorter, with all of it definitions, than your LLM output.
Anyway, don't call your senators if you don't want.
I've read the bill. It's dead simple. If something like this doesn't get passed, bitcoin developers are at risk of going to prison for developing software for you (eg this law would absolve the samourai developers), and when some of them do go to prison, very few will continue to develop such software.
If you think that's okay, or if you simply just don't want to bother, don't call.

going to prison for developing software
wrong, they will go to prison because they continue to believe they are a legal person... a citizen.
This rise on me a question: should bitcoin maintainers be and stay anonymous, like Satoshi was? full on cypherpunks? what would be the implications?

the FBI sure hates that one simple trick
the FBI inc. hate like it because is another way to make another commercial offer (going to jail) when one isn't ready to decline, or does not know how. Use words properly and you'll be fine.
and disappear like Satoshi did?
yes, because ego is a trap. Do you see any downside on Satoshi disappearance?

"legal person" means a paper with a name on it. That name they try to make you believe it is you, the living man. That legal person they try to put in jail.
That's the trick many people fall for it and they say that are the legal person. They literally declare themselves dead bodies. Then the state can do whatever they want with them... are just dead bodies, vessels without soul.

you're right. and I tend to think it's an improvement over the current regulatory un-certainty.
