Now it's no longer Lockheed Martin that wants the analyst, it's "US Central Command."

This is an urban legend in progress.

That is Lockheed's job site:
- http://lockheedmartin-topsecret.jobs/macdill-air-force-base-fl/counter-threat-finance-analyst/31150995/job/

Obvious spoof page of real Lockheed site. Come on, people, now.

Hrm...analyst position.

And a 48 hour work week at MacDill? That sucks. They are probably required to work on Saturday.

Nice find, worrying though. Nice to see bitcoin being taken seriously at a corporate level but that's the wrong kind of reason for it.

taken as seriously as lindendollars? not a compliment!

Jokes aside. My point was that if skunk works associates wants to know about Bitcoin, the intent might be to monitor and track, like it's done on TOR. As an intelligence tool! That will also suggest that Bitcoin will not be outlawed.

Lockheed is setting up a Silk Road for their heroin trade in Afghanistan.

lol, I wouldn't be suprised

I wouldn't be surprised if SR is run by a US government agency. 10% of every transaction adds up, and soon you own a majority of the BTC in existence (with a goal to keep those coins out of circulation). Easy way to kill it, if you're willing to wait for a slow death.

Nah, governments never do anything useful. And taking a huge mass of bitcoins out of circulation would be very nice of them as well. I'd pay extra taxes this year, with a smile on my face, if they were really doing it.

They see bitcoin as possible terrorist money.

Possible? That's how they're planning to attack it. I'd even put BTC on that bet.

It's gonna be fun when they "find" a MtGox account linked to a Dwolla account linked to someone who knows someone affiliated with "Al Queda"...lol.

This is for an analyst, an intelligence analyst. Exactly the sorts of people that need to keep track of potential new twists in the great game.

The good news is that Bitcoin got first billing and SL got second billing. Hope it wasn't just alphabetical.

Oh, and you can be sure that the Company will be using bitcoin extensively, just as soon as it is big enough for them to hide in.

This is not a corporate view this is a military/gov view.

Right you are. I stand corrected.

Is LM looking to find those familiar with Bitcoin to start using it to move money internationally and do things off the radar? Will over organizations seek to do the same? Will the use of Bitcoin by larger organizations give more legitimacy to Bitcoin and result in a more liquid market?

They see bitcoin as possible terrorist money. That's now the corporate view. They're looking for a "counter-terrorism expert".

This is not a corporate view this is a military/gov view. The corp. for this job is a body shop and they get their needs from the customer.

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...

Seems pretty clear that there is some contract work available (or will be soon) from the government that requires someone who is familiar with alternative payment systems in order to track AML or financing for undesirable groups. I'd like to see if the contract request actually references Bitcoin. It could be a sign that the government is talking more of an interest in monitoring the currency.

This is what I think as well.

Looks like Bitcoins bad rep is causing a reaction.

Fairly obvious I would think. They are trying to devise a means of tracking terrorism funding and they consider bitcoin to be a possible means of doing so. They want someone who can cover all of what they consider the primary means of funding in order to develop a system to track the funds (in both directions). At least that is how it reads to me.

So it begins...

Lulz incoming

[edit] But seriously, no. Clearly the sentence that mentions Bitcoin is designed to attract individuals who are generally 'creative' with negotiating. Nothing to do with the actual currency itself, let alone LM concocting deals in Bitcoin. Just to make sure we're on the same line here.
