It's definitely possible but there is no proof, so...conjecture can only go so far before it gets annoying as fuck.
I think it has to do with that Alex guy who recently endorsed bitcoin. He is more or less a nut job who likely wears a tin foil hat most of the time, but has a relatively strong following. 
Topic: BTC is CIA/NSA etc. project... what is the newest info supporting this? (Read 2280 times)

I don't think there is any real solid info supporting this to begin with. It is a nice conspiracy theory, given that there has been talk of the New World Order trying to come up with a one world currency for years....but that is pretty much as far as it goes, unless I am really missing something?

here is the newsweeks research (...)

Thanks for the laugh, OP.
For the OP: I would find it very unlikely that the CIA and/or the NSA was behind bitcoin. They would gain nothing by creating BTC, and would create a number of headaches that they are dealing with that are BTC and crypto related.
Wow guys, just wow, go to your mainstream media again to tell you what to think, because obviously you are afraid just to THINK about the POSSIBILITY of existence of an alternative.
What would the USA gov. had to gain by creating bitcoin? There are several things, i have written them even down here few months ago.
Most of the US gov. would be incapable of creating something like bitcoin. The CIA is lacking in technical skills, so they always ask others (NSA, Google) for help.
If it was made by Google, they would think of a way to profit from it, not give it out freely. As for the NSA, they would have made it in C#

This is not news, but mining with SHA-256 can help FBI/CIA to decrypt password
i think it's possible, because they think they can get free hashing to decrypt password

If Bitcoin was NSA's job I do think I do think USA and other countries would do much more things in favor of Bitcoin.

I call FUD on this one.

I find this to be genuinely interesting.

I did peruse WikiLeaks trying to find some ominous connection between BTC and the NSA, but the most interesting thing I could find was a BTCtalk member asking Stratfor about their opinion on bitcoin.
Satoshi seems to recoil at the idea of bitcoin being used for WikiLeaks donations:

This was his second-to-last post, and it was perhaps this article that threw him off from wanting to post here any further:

OK rather than starting a new topic (I don't agree with all of OP's assertions), lets just address some of the issues in question here.
Bitcoin Suspected to Be NSA or CIA Project
By Jerin Mathew
August 9, 2014 09:07 BST
...The team added that Bitcoin Forum, a bitcoin community where Nakamoto used to communicate, usually removes posts connecting bitcoin with CIA.
OK not true obviously. A simple forum search returns hundreds of references to the CIA going back to 2011.
It noted that a recent WikiLeaks document exposed the NSA's connection with the program used by most cryptocurrencies.
Does anybody know what this document is? Would the government shoot themselves in the foot by accidentally creating a means of safe donations to WikiLeaks? Could the new conspiracy be that the government created bitcoin in order to attempt to track WikiLeaks donors and spenders?
Actually I doubt it because the total donations to the WikiLeaks BTC address is only 3,859.65. At ~$2.2 M its not exactly an international headlines-type number.
