I would not put this past the CIA, NSA, or DOD. What is the greatest threat to the USA today?

The USA is a superpower that's had nuclear bombs more more than half a century.
We really started printing money in the 80's forward, increasing our debt along the way.
Suddenly, in the 1990's this thing called the Internet comes along and connects the entire world.
Now, we have people all over the world learning exactly how these dollars come into existence, and they are questioning why they spend their time chasing the dollars (along with every other world currency).

On the flip side of the Pacific, you have more than 2 billion people suddenly realizing that they can buy things, and they are going to do so by releasing dollars into the market.

Possibly Bitcoin could have been created as a defensive mechanism to prevent world economy from changing too quickly which would not be good for anyone.

TOR was created by the Navy with the intention of being used by the government. It needed other people to run and use it in order for the government to be able to use it securely. TOR is not perfect, however neither is any other "method" of privacy.
Well, that makes sense. TOR is not perfect, but prior to the existence of TOR people already knew how to be private. There is now another layer added.
I think that prior to TOR it was very difficult if not impossible to have privacy from a large attacker on the internet. As of when TOR was created the internet was still very new, and a lot of the privacy services did not exist then. You also had many less options to connect to the internet; you were not able to connect via public wifi, at most public places, in a hotel or even via cell phone.

if ross ulbricht gets convicted, they now have 100,000 btc to offload. they aren't gonna wanna offload it at ten dollars a bitcoin...

Would you guys get out of Crypto if it is a fact that the CIA or NSA or anyone of the Alphabet boys is behind it??


Hmmmm.... that's probably more reason to get into it.

1. I'm still anonymous.
2. I'm going to get rich.

If all our money circulates around on the Blockchain simply turn if off and all our money is gone and the Government takes controll over humanity and turns us all into Slaves....

they can't really turn it off. they could forcibly gain control of one of the mining pools/build a bunch of ASICS and do a 51% attack but everyone could just switch to an alt-coin that's designed to be more 51% attack resistant

also they wouldn't wanna bring it down yet because...

The other thing is if the CIA or the government is behind it, they for sure push it skyhigh, so is this now a good time to Invest in Bitcoin or stay far away??

And besides the evil attentions intentions of the US Government to enslave us all and sell us as work slaves to Planet Crypto,

we're already enslaved. you can't call it intent if they've successfully carried out the plan.

does it matter if the government is behind it or not??

no because...

So are you implying that they maybe created both those things with known holes in them so people who are planning to do illegal stuff rely on them and can be surveilled by those agencies even better? Ha, that totally sounds like a conspiracy theory Cheesy Nah, I don't really believe that!

I am not implying anything, just stating the facts. No conspiracy theory here, as to me, like you, it does not make sense.

TOR was created by the Navy with the intention of being used by the government. It needed other people to run and use it in order for the government to be able to use it securely. TOR is not perfect, however neither is any other "method" of privacy.

i think your resources from the fake sites. a lot of the information isn't right reported on there.


for my advice, we don't easily accept the information that has not been recognized of the truth.


I hope this post doesn't stop us to earn bitcoin.


It is a fake site run by a well known troll here who likes to spread fud and promote his crappy businesses and ebook rubbish.

This sums everything up perfectly. I'm just going to go and forget the I ever came across this post.

This is most likely the case. I would personally doubt that satoshi was even a group of people as his writing style generally did not ever change. The CIA and the US government would really have nothing to gain by creating Bitcoin and have likely and will likely lose tax revenue as a result of it.[/qoute]

if all our money is digitalised its easier for the government to controll us.

As I said the average Joe Blow doesnt own much marterial things that are actually worth more than a few 1000 Dollar if even that. Most possesions of the average Joe Blow is a Car a flat screen and Playstation, so all things that loose on value over time, so actually worthless things.

And the most money is either in online banking or on Credit Cards, so if "they" come up with a way were it's possible to controll peoples funds with 1 single instrument, let's call it Bitcoin, it would make it way easier for "them" to "turn it off" and so gain complete controll over humanity. cause after all money is the only thing that gives most people self esteem and confidence, so take that and you got a whole bunch of willingless people which makes it easier to controll.

And as I said money and Controll is all the Governments want, it doesnt take a genius to figure that out.

Take their money and you can controll them, thats what the government has to gain, controll and money

Bitcoin isn't a cia invention. Satoshi was probably just a geek (or group of geeks) who created something brilliant.

I have no proof but I very much doubt the CIA had anythign to do with it.



Monkey Island. Classic.

As soon as you own some coins and are running a full node you did become one of those that "run the Show".
So the questions is: should we get out as soon as you are doing this? Cheesy

@austriabitcoin
 excuse my sarcasm, but comparing working conditions of today with those in concentration camps in nazi-germany is a bit far-fetched imo.  
unfortunately that still depends where you're living on this planet  Undecided

As always with a technological shift - no matter what source it comes from - every society has legacy problems which influence conditions of adaption and future sentiment of the masses will determine if and how these will evolve.
our monetary system has a long history and therefore a lot of centralised influence to transfer the current status quo into the digital era.
if you don't want to be a spoonfed lethargic "slave" consuming what he/she gets praised by massmedia everyday...
well, thanks to the internet you have much more options today than ever before in human history to educate yourself, choose wisely what you support/consume with your hard-earned money and spread your knowledge.

Same thing goes with blockchain technology...if it would be implemented as financial ledger on a neutral breeding ground voilà there is your solution for a free and transparent utopia without banks and cronyism.
(never underestimate the aftermath when human nature had a go at it though   Wink)
The established distributed powers try to shape, control and restrain its public benefit in their interest until it's finally adapted by the masses.
Important thing is this uneven process will provide new opportunities for those who make the effort to take the route less travelled by.

Would you have said internet is work of the devil during the 90s because its source is a project by ARPA of US Department of Defense?
Although it allows the state of a transparent citizen when using certain hardware/services, the web also provides access to more tools than ever to prevent this from happening.

technology is neutral and humanity will always add the two sides of a coin...it's everyone's personal decision what you make of it.
