If a person would claim to be the owner of Bitcoin then all media personnel will come to him or her for a ton of question and that might stress them out...

Secondly, Bitcoin won't  gain control on money it is one solution when it come to money transaction that process would be easier than before

Imagine if Bitcoin was an attempt by the NSA to control the global money supply? They might have developed this as a prototype for some proprietary code and then someone leaked the Source code to the internet. They might have thought that they would be controlling all the nodes on a global decentralized financial network for ultimate security.  Roll Eyes

This will also explain why nobody has stepped forward to claim ownership of this technology. The consequences of a revelation like that would be a major embarrassment for whatever government agency that was responsible for that.  Grin

Just imagine how funny it would be if Bitcoin was developed to gain ultimate control and now it spread like wildfire to do the complete opposite  of what it was developed for.  Grin Grin Grin Grin

Let's just play around with this theory, even if it is totally absurd.  Wink

Let's not, just like we don't pretend cats are secretly plotting to enslave us.




Okay....maybe some of us do that....but your idea is not "thread worthy" like those evil cats...

To imagine that, one would need to be an idiot.

The Federal Reserve would be the one to throw your tin foil conspiracy at. Then you would need to ask why "regulation" within the current system is so difficult, if they did control it.

No the explanation is right in front of you. The guy obviously knew when it was time to back away as his plan required from the beginning.

Don't post anymore ideas OP, they make everyone who reads them dumber.

Listen guys and girls. This is not just another conspiracy theory or in any way backed by proof. I am only saying how ironic it would be, if this was a failed NSA or secret agency project that backfired on them. They might have had these great visions of a globally dominated currency and it all fell apart when one of their own, leaked the source code.

Several aspects on this "story" would not make any sense, but it can explain some of the weird things that happened. Like Satoshi's disappearance and also the secrecy around his whole identity.

Let's just play around with this theory, even if it is totally absurd.  Wink

some proprietary code and then someone leaked the Source code to the internet.

this could have been a theory only if the idea of a blockchain technology such a what bitcoin uses wasn't already around and only if there hasn't been any previous systems like bitcoin. which there were! Roll Eyes

I have read hundreds of speculations like this during last 2-3 years but sadly, none of them could provide evidence or credible sources backing up their statements. From my understanding, Bitcoin is still a very strong competitor of alternatives of fiat money and it will stay like that with more developments in the future.

All perceptions that come about bitcoin, I will always look at bitcoin positively, if anyone says that bitcoin is a financial threat, I don't think so, because all this time bitcoin has benefited us (including me as a bitcoin user).

No statement like these could give me any proper evidence or proof to their stance, of such kinds. I believe Bitcoin, is a legend of its own, and has huge potentiality, a great initiative to developement of the financial sector, and a good alternative to fiat currency. It has a huge promising future of its own.

As funny as it sounds, it is not. It has been developed by an anonymous group or my a person which goes by the name of Satoshi. failed attempt or not, the world is grateful for such an invention which has made the people's lives better.
