Would you argue the internet is a malicious plan to enslave the people by the US intelligence that created it? I doubt it could be true! No such agency would purposefully break the monopoly on money and believe it would help them control the people.
I know
exactly how the Internet we have today was created.
Nash sent an encryption conjecture to the Nsa in 1955 and a description of a highly parallel computing solution that is still further advanced than the internet to rand. Ideal Money is an idea from that time.
So its observably evident that the idea of bitcoin floated around these agencies for many years prior to bitcoin.
There is no way to break the bubble, the monopoly, without losing the power.
Don't conflate the agencies and nation-states with the globalists who sit above and orthogonal. Those elitists would need only the private keys to Satoshi's mined stash. And I bet they are using those Bitcoins now to implicitly back the SDRs so that they can value their reserves accurately and accumulate all the world's wealth to themselves, as they collapse the old financial system with the Basel rounds.
Bitcoin whales cannot control the system, if they do it will fork.
It will not fork when there is only one whale who controls it. The protocol can change at Rothschild's will (i.e. manipulated and breaking the ideal money stability), but there will be no forks if one entity controls all the wealth (which is of course is complete destruction of humankind).
And a malevolent Satoshi cannot exist, the project requires incredible OBJECTIVELY to be birthed. Such objectively does not exist in malevolent persons.
A flawed project doesn't require objectivity. Bitcoin is fundamentally and insolubly flawed in the most absolute, worst, and most evil possible way. But luckily I think the economy will bifurcate into fungible finance and non-fungible knowledge creation trade. So I think the planned evil of Bitcoin will be defeated. As you say, a conflict on a higher-order.
The person who funded Bitcoin's creation doesn't understand that he enabled and unleashed me ... why would he even care about some loud mouth on the Internet (whereas the scientists and programmers who did the work may have realized they were fooling their masters). Just like DARPA didn't understand they were being lied to (see my link above).
As you pointed out, Bitcoin can just be a step along the way. The worst outcome possibly with Bitcoin can be possible averted, because humans compete and partake of opportunities enabled by new technologies.
