Do you believe the FBI holds the biggest number of bitcoin?

How would we know?  How certain are they?  We can't tell because nobody/no one would say how many bitcoins he/she has on his/her hands Tongue

Is this a kind of another conspiracy theory stuff? There is no like a reliable news from Times or Newsweek or any other reputable media institution that is reporting such a thing. This is another product of an imaginative person I guess. Purely that.
In any action must be a reason. I see no reason for the FBI to keep bitcoins. I think that most bitcoins are stored on the hands of the whales. I don't like the most, but bitcoin is a democratic currency, and it can have all.

Oh, an interesting question. But as far as I know the FBI is an anti-crime organization in the United States, I do not think it's economically active. Please let me know any reason why you think they hold bitcoin?
I think his thought is issue about FBI and BTC-e exchange, but I remember BTC-e exchange has said they will refund the funds of their user 45% total money they keep in this exchange, then 55% will convert to token from their IPO Smiley

As to me, that's unlikely

They seem to be selling the coins that they seize in their raids and operations at auctions. For example, in 2014 they sold  a quarter of the bitcoins they had seized at Silk Road. I don't know what's become of the rest of these coins, but they might have been sold later. Anyway, it should be obvious that the US government agencies keep some bitcoins for their operations but I don't think that destroying Bitcoin is one of their primary aims or targets. Bitcoin is too good a tool for capturing criminals to get rid of it completely

Bitcoin is good as a world political propaganda media, I'm sure the FBI keeps a lot of bitcoin accompanied by senators who are actively campaigning about bitcoin, the auctions they have made can not be officially demonstrated, as in the case of illegal drugs, they always take more from Just burned or auctioned back to the public.

I never know if the FBI also holds bitcoins. If true this is good news. bitcoin can be received by the FBI, as we know the FBI is a government body against crime. They invest bitcoin maybe they think bitcoin is a good investment and profitable for them. It motivates me to invest bitcoin. I do not know the amount of bitcoin they hold. Probably in large quantities. Because this institution is a big government institution

I think you're referring to the bitcoin wallet that the fbi confiscated from Silk Road which contains 144,000btc. Been seeing this in btc news and other websites. But I don't really think that they are the largest btc holder simply because it was other's wallet that were just seized by them. Technically, it's not their btc.

I guess no, China supports bitcoin and others lot more than US government. I don't think FBI has anything to gain from btc as dollar is world's #1 money in usage.

I don't believe that. This is probably one of those informations that someone has made up and another conspiracy theory. Maybe some people think that because FBI has carried out some big investigations and takedowns of dark markets on deep web and thus came to the possesion of large amount of bitcoins. But they can't keep those bitcoins for themselves or use them. But I'm sure they are experimenting with bitcoin in some ways.

Excuse me, Where did you get that information anyway? the only things I know that the biggest number of bitcoin who holds it was China, because it has a large bitcoin mining farm in the whole world but not FBi.

Why You are asking about only FBI holds bitcoin or not? Bitcoin not made for only FBI.
But i think they must use it not every employ of FBI are using bitcoin but sure they know very well about bitcoin and may be they are using it.
Also FBI belong to investigation team, if they are using bitcoin, then it mean bitcoin is pure good crypto currency.
But you are right, we have no idea to know that FBI are using bitcoin or not.

Yes, the "government" does have a lot of Bitcoin. We will never know, and there will always be a ton of conspiracy theories about it.Isn't that part of the allure of Bitcoin though?

We will never know for sure if any of the governement agencies like the CIA or FBI holds a substantial amounts of bitcoin, that is if they can prevent such information from being leaked. I am pretty sure though that they have a good monitoring and tracking on what’s going on in the bitcoin community and the transactions that take place, be it legal or illegal.

It is just my thoughts, I maybe wrong or maybe not. Bankers or owners of banks has the biggest number of BTCitcoins why? Because in due time they will be the one controlling it. In due time, it would be realized, soon be open to public and we can't do about it.

How would we know?  How certain are they?  We can't tell because nobody/no one would say how many bitcoins he/she has on his/her hands Tongue

Indeed, it seems the U.S Government now running the show Smiley
I don't think U.S will just sit back and watch the show rather jump in.
Bitcoin is spiking since January, the time President TRUMP took the office.  
I was curious though, I often ask myself who are the guys that are really pumping money in the bitcoin in the recent months, perhaps is .... Smiley
The first question we have to ask ourselves why did "Satoshi" left bitcoin??? Perhaps, the cowboys has taken over Grin
These are just my thoughts and nothing more.

Awesome theory buddy, kinda want to believe it so badly ,cause if they're really behind the BOOM that bitcoin is living right now, i can't imagine what's coming in the few years following, i really hope they keep up the good job  Tongue

Most certainly the FBI holds  alot of Bitcoin, although I don't believe they hold more than anyone else in the world.


Maybe you're right! we just don't know about all this are speculations but may be true! CIA hold a lot of information globally and even bitcoin holding I think they have. Bitcoin can be also used for those wealthy people to avoid tax even in underground world used this bitcoin for there illegal transaction because they think it can't be trace.
