It doesn't matter who created Bitcoin. The source code is public. Read the source code and anyone can see everything it does, and everything it does not do.

Have you read (and understood) the source code?
I haven't/can't. I don't know anyone I trust who can/has, either.
Now, don't get me wrong, I still believe in bitcoin. But like I said, I can't use that reassurance if I'm being honest with myself.

Mainstream press is now using http://ciaproject.org/projects/ for their source on CIA black ops? LMFAO!

The lack of understanding... it burns. I think you should learn more about bitcoin before you start trying to argue about it.

The Bitcoin industry & Bitcoin foundation... AKA those who pay their bills...and indirectly the miners. But because of it being open source and transparent this become harder. For the rest this article is pure FUD!

[...] You might as well make the first move and control the system rather than trying to fight it down the track.

It doesn't seem like CIA is controlling the Bitcoin system, does it?

It wouldn't surprise me if the CIA was behind bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies were inevitable. You might as well make the first move and control the system rather than trying to fight it down the track.

satoshi asks gavin to present to CIA in early 2011, then disappears.. wouldnt surprise me if this were true.

I don't believe Satoshi ever requested that Gavin contact the CIA. Gavin informed Satoshi that the CIA had contacted him. After Gavin sent him that email, Satoshi no longer responded. The implication is that he chose that moment to bail from the project, out of concern for being identified.

While it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that Satoshi would have links to an intelligence agency of some sort, the idea of Bitcoin being a purely CIA/NSA project just doesn't add up, not least of which because it's open source which is something that these people making the accusations totally ignore. Tor browser for instance was supposedly built by the American Navy at first and ended up being re-purposed but it's one of those things where you go "Why the fuck would an intelligence agency deliberately release something that completely undermines them and their government" the only thing I could think of is if it were some kind of person like Edward Snowden who got sick of them and decided it was time for some payback.

Like most of these 'conspiracy theorists' a lot of them like to represent these governments as big unstoppable forces that are out to destroy us and of course the only way we can fight them is by hanging onto every word that we say, while completely disregarding the fact that a lot of them are incapable of sending emails without fucking it up completely.

I don't think that TOR was actually re-purposed for it's current form. If my understanding is correct then TOR was created for the same purpose that it is used for today. One of it's purposes was to allow for the navy/government to communicate from behind enemy lines without detection. In order to do this, others must use TOR for other purposes.

I agree that BTC was likely not made by an intelligence agency but for different reasons. The fact that Bitcoin is open source does not affect the chances of it being the product of an intelligence agency. The fact that Bitcoin makes it very difficult to determine who sent a particular transaction or who a transaction was sent to would make me believe that it was not created by the NSA/CIA or the likes. If it was created by them then Bitcoin would only be making their job that much more difficult.

of course it's CIA and when they want to finish the project

dump the 'Satoshi Nakamoto' stash......sorted Grin

all that would do is crash the price "value" and then Bitcoin would have to compete with all the other "Quality" crypto (i can think of about 10) and that's only what i know of.
