Topic: IS BITCOIN A CIA PROJECT? - page 2. (Read 7985 times)

STOP THE QUOTE PYRAMID
This is exactly what I'm thinking.

Bitcoin is really based around liberty, and taxes and such don't exactly fit with the state's plans, or most conspiracies, so there are issues with Bitcoin being even considerable as a CIA project.

with regard to tax...it works with fiat because it is nationalized.... i see no true viable means of taxing bitcoin because it is global. even U.S citizens can open an account with an offshore exchange.. how then will the gov know about these activities?

As other users have pointed out. BTC already has regulation and will be gaining far more, especially strict ones in New York atm. Exchanges will be regulated further and already have been, and the government knows this.

There are already programs that can/will be able to track all the addresses of the bitcoin blockchain and what addresses send what to which address etc, like a tree. Then once bitcoins are sent to a known exchange address(since exchanges will be regulated), then they will know who is behind the address, so leading to less tax revenue might happen at first, but later on it wont.

How would having "the currency of the future" help in any way the CIA or the government? If anything it would hurt it as it will ultimately lead to less tax revenue.

Thing is, everyone here says CIA/Government would make something to use to their advantage, what if they simply made it for the future? They open-sourced it so that more people could improve upon it and make the currencies of the future..

So you are saying that Snowden is 'legit' and everything (or almost everything) he says is true?

This would not be true if the CIA did not tell others of their involvement. In theory the CIA could be trying to track criminals and terrorists when they convert their bitcoin into fiat via AML regulations.

I would however doubt this as it gives criminals and terrorists too many opportunities to do bad things.

LOL.. yea mmmkay

Thank you CIA 

This is one thing i love about anything to do with cryptography or encryption, tinfoil hats will come out of the woodwork and post interesting (albeit funny) things like this.

Well also if Satoshi was working with the CIA regulation would be much more easier lol.
Pretty much Satoshi knew where this was going and decided he didn't want to work out all those regulatory kinks in 2011 before this began lol.

Puppets? I don't think so. The problem is we have been led to believe there is more.

Yeah, it will go down.

Also, I wouldn't recommend using beige as a color, I can't see it on my screen. Others probably can't see it as well, but that's just me.

It'll go down because people will no longer see it as an anonymous source of value, and think of it like regular electronic money. And, since anonymity is lost, then transactions will go down, because not everything on the internet is used for legal purchases. Or some people just don't want it to be seen.

How can you think BTC is CIA project 
that's true there are no proof BTC is created/not by CIA

if that's true and CIA announcement it, will BTC price went up ?
i think somehow will down

I am not sure when he was invited, but IIRC he actually spoke to the CIA right around the time that Satochi stopped being part of the Bitcoin project.

I would seriously doubt that Bitcoin is a CIA project as the protocol is open source and no one has made any specific accusations about the source code that the CIA could somehow use to their advantage. 

That is because it is a hypothetical conversation and mostly pure speculation on a matter that leaves many unanswered questions.  Nobody and prove anything and some posts are just fud.

This has no evidence to back this theory.

Gavin wasn't introduced to BTC in 2010/2011, and the white paper was created by a "Satoshi Nakamoto".

Anyone can say that the identity of someone who hasn't come public is a creation of them, it could very well be a power grab.
A textbook story would be "Yoink! You're ours now." Oh, I'm sorry, someone no-one has seen just disappearing? Amelia Earheart is part of a CIA conspiracy according to that logic.

On the core comment; you have no idea what you're talking about.

If you can go control the core, people will see it. Code is open source for a reason, and I have a feeling several dozen people would have already picked it out and shown it to the community (WITH proof) as to how the core is controlled by a single point.

Oh, you mean he can control the blockchain? Good luck with that.

It is decentralized very literally. You can't just control it.

It may be a CIA creation, but they've left themselves unable to control what happens to it. They can't control it, only be like "Ha, we made that." But at the same time, they couldn't prove it.

I might be an agnostic member now, I can't prove Bitcoin isn't a CIA project, but I can't prove it isn't either. I won't be letting this affect my future ideas, that's just what I'll be for a little while.

True!

That being said:

I do believe that the CIA is a Bitcoin project....
We have to hard fork and get them out of the blockchain immediately
