Topic: Bitcoin suspected to be NSA or CIA Project (Read 3507 times)

Of course it could be the truth but will know it for sure in 50 years only

I would say that Gox was independent of anything else bitcoin related. I don't think that Gox is proof that bitcoin was not created by the NSA/CIA. I still highly doubt that either of them built/created bitcoin however.

I bet if we created four more threads on the topic we could get to the bottom of the matter.

If it was a CIA/NSA project they wouldn't allow Gox to happens, also we would see more from the governments that are opposite to the USA, like China.


Plus the politicals wouldn't act like they have no idea what bitcoin is, and anti-Bitcoin laws wouldn't be discussed, plus USA would be the first country to fully embrace Bitcoin.


So I gues it is not.

What are you talking about?? One was deleted by the OP because there were like 4 topics on the Front forum talking about shitty troll shit.. and you just posted it back to the front page. Why? Why should there be more than one thread on teh 1st page talking about the same thing. And to make it even worse its a fukn troll article..

I hope this bullshit troll shit does get deleted!!!! Oh wait then maybe people will think the CIA deleted it ..PFFFT LOL give me a break, sik of hearing the same old BS.. its not funny anymore its now crossed the annoying frustrating border

This has been said many times, but it is worth saying again: This is nothing more then FUD

I am not sure why, but for some reason there seams to be a lot of threads on this subject that have popped up recently. The US government would really have nothing to gain by creating Bitcoin as described by the OP.

you're implying the 'silk road game' ended lol. it carries on to this day.

Yes, the MI6 is spreading misinformation. They created bitcoin to regain control over their empire and reach the glory of older days before the americans took over. Their plan worked and they now control at least 7% of the world's future wealth.

Yep trolled.

Although it would be fun to say that the NSA and CIA are saying Bitcoin was their project to scare new users away from using it  
Kid if they saw it coming then that would be a surprising thing.

Why stupid? Tor was also founded by DARPA and the Navy. Geez even the internet was created under the original name ARPANET by the department of defense.

All the trouble the US goes though to get the SWIFT-treaty with the EU, and the block chain?
You get handed all transactions ever done on a silver platter. Sure, its pseudonymous. Unless you have access to the records of all exchanges, and well, those kinds anti-laundering regulations are already in effect. Would be amusing to know who actually runs those mixing pools. But basicly the block chain is pretty much a wet dream for any surveilance state.

Market cap has grown by  ~$60 per dollar invested in exchanges, in other words probably not more than like $200M has ever flown into bitcoin. Even if all of that had come from the fed it would have been peanuts. And well, the NSA has been working on the concept for a long time after all.

Was that me and you, Tommy? We landed on the moon?

I believe there is some -- not absolute -- truth to this. What is the primary global economic issue that the Washington consensus was worried about the past two decades? Currency controls! How are these currency controls implemented? By restricting capital flight by forcing businesses to transact in the domestic currency. What does Bitcoin undermine? This very phenomenon. In a nutshell, the neoliberal consensus' view on monetary is very much free market/libertarian oriented. So, does this at least make some sense facially? Sure.

That said, like many projects created by the CIA, this one has taken on a life of its own and now has characteristics wholly independent from its original purpose. The infrastructure that has sprouted up around Bitcoin including the exchanges, blockchain, and the tech savvy user base makes this potential original source largely irrelevant. A good comparison is another CIA project... the internet. The CIA played a hand in it... it was a disruptive technology... it took on a life of its own.

So, I guess if you need a creation myth sort of like a religious zealot then this is a big deal. If you don't need a creation myth then this is a non-story. Bitcoin is exactly the same as it was two minutes ago. The NSA might be tracking transactions (say for terrorist purposes), but I doubt they give a hell otherwise (even for certain illicit purposes... see how long the Silkroad game carried on). Moreover, the NSA is not going to steal or destroy all of your coins because they'd be incurring the wrath of a million hackers. It's just a non-story to me.

Most likely a group project with lots of personal from different background involved.

Sounds really stupid. Why would they do this? What would they gain from it? How would they know a crypto currency would get this big?

It can seem like that, but Satoshi really stood on the shoulders of giants, the idea of proof of work, the cryptography - it already existed, his genius was how he put it all together. It was possible for one man, especially when you consider the crazy stuff geniuses  in the past did - Isaac Newton had no maths schooling and arguably discovered calculus on his own as the basis for his future work.  George Bool invented Boolean logic, the foundation maths for computers long before electronics.

They have realized the Fed is a blight on the heart of 'Merica but can't undermine the Fed/Goldman/MS troika without spilling the apple-cart. Gotta go stealth-mode. Three cheers for the 3-letter agencies!!

They can't even solve the Kryptos so why would they be able to crack bitcoin? 

And you probably dont think we landed on the moon... Trust me, this is not a NSA or CIA project...

So why has this thread and every post on it not been deleted?

Project of this scale has to come from the top government department.

Who would care about fast transaction time where most of the world population don't do international trade.
