The worst thing in all of this is we might never really know what or who created bitcoin.

Here is the first (to my knowledge) document in cryptocurrency, made available in 1996 to an MIT mailing list and created by the NSA: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/money/nsamint/nsamint.htm

It's certainly possible contributors to this document played some role (as Satoshi Nakamoto are otherwise) to Bitcoin. It's also possible, maybe likely, the origin of Bitcoin was inspired through this document.
Never heard of this before, it seems at least an interesting read considering when was made, but i doubt there is some direct connection with Bitcoin.

I'll have a look to it and see if anything comes up.

Someone asked the NSA, they said it's classified.  Classic!

That was actually interesting. It's like they enjoy spreading paranoia.

Very interesting all your theories

4) Decentralized - How to make it centralized *Theory* (Would need a lot of Investment Huh what would it look like - polished. )

Looks like Bitcoin was a NSA code leaked by a Libertarian scared of Central Bank Control *Theory*



They are interesting and lead to things I am not privy to


Bitcoin's first main competitor was Etheruem (big money, very polished, and a lot of solutions but centralized)

NSA or Intelligence agencies were researching peer to peer currency

Currency and other assets are always centralized and monoplized for individual greed

Hence why would bitcoin be a viable solution

Or you could just connect the dots...Wikileaks...Bitcoin Blockchain...Silk Road Operations...
Wikileaks and BTC blockchain... how are they connected?
How wikileaks was first involved in bitcoin
At the time satoshi disappeared, wikileaks announced it was using bitcoin as paypal had terminated their account
Satoshi did not want any undue attention and disappeared

I don't think he was asking you to use the words "satoshi" and "wikileaks" in the same sentence. I think he was asking you to describe the actual connection between them. Wink

I do not think you really know what you are talking about. If you did, you might have told us that both Satoshi and Julian Assange were members of the cypherpunks mailing list.

Your right

You can write on the blockchain

Wikileaks has put evidence on the blockchain

NSA - or other intelligence organizations
1) All the great minds are hired by these organizations
2) Peer to Peer money *adjusted*(Bitcoin) the perfect medium to track all transactions
3) The New World Global Currency - one currency to rule them all
4) Decentralized - How to make it centralized *Theory* (Would need a lot of Investment Huh what would it look like - polished. )
Or the NSA itself decided to create Bitcoin. Things as big as megacorps and governments work against themselves all the time, I wouldn't be too surprised if the NSA has some part in at least supporting it.


Bitcoin
1) Released under anonymity
2) Forum created on Libertarian based model of decentralization and strong political ideas against the central banks
3) 2011 - Wikileaks, CIA, Gavin Andressseeenn
4) DDos attacks on forum
5) Satoshi runs (Disappears)


Cryptocurrency
1) Markets explode 2012
2) Scams, shills, criminals, elite - everyone gets on board
3) 2012 Bitcoin exchange _ Mark Karpeles (Switzerland relatives - Rothschild connection)
4) Bitcoin full on assault begins
  a) Big block debate - Gavinn Andressssennnn, Roger Ver etc etc (CIA involved)
  b) Exchange/Altcoin attack - Altcoins are better!!!, hack, steal, exchange after exchange falls - Paul Vernon Cryptsy (Military Intelligence involved Lori Ann Nettles)
  c) Mining Attack - Butterfly Labs Sonny Verssdgshrrghtt - whateva (Criminal and Political ties involved)
  d) Bear market - they had most coins (Gox, Cryptsy, Mining) except for Satoshi's (approx 500,000)
5) Bitcoin does not die *adjusted*
  a) 2016 - Rise of the Token ICO Ethereum is the new blockchain, Bitcoin is dead cannot make transactions
  b) The rise of the FORKS Bcash, Bgold, Lightning, Segwit, Bitcoin is dead cannot make transactions  The Return of the Sith - Gavinn Andressssennnn, Roger Ver



Looks like Bitcoin was a NSA code leaked by a Libertarian scared of Central Bank Control *Theory*
This is probably one of the major reasons Satoshi never let anyone know who he was.  I wouldn't be surprised if he is actually an American working for the NSA specializing in cryptography.  Then he got sick of the government's monetary polices and decided to create bitcoin.


Proof
1) Satoshi did not want anyone talking to the media or Wikileaks, various members exposed him (he disappears) *adjusted*
2) The Bitcoin Blockchain is obviously being attacked heavily - it holds all the evidence of the corrupt and criminal in the early days
3) The above need to destroy bitcoin to hide their Silk Road Operations (forgot that one) and other criminal cabal scams


Please correct any of it, or add to it
But whatever you do, for reasons above, it looks like we must protect the blockchain


Interesting theory.

I added *Theory* next to the theory parts so as anyone can research the rest if they want to know more.


The rest are just facts (by all means dispute them, everyone find your own facts) from the forum and media
Hope this helps.

Just because satoshi was anonymous it doesn't mean that he's the NSA.What motives would the NSA have for creating something like bitcoin? Doesn't even make sense to me. If they were going to create something like bitcoin it would probably be the opposite of it.

Kinda unrelated, but just noticed something interesting.
This is Hal Finney's bitcointalk account: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/hal-2436
Hal Finney died on 2014. But last login to this account occurred in 2017.

That's actually really weird! Who could have done that?
Only "safe" choice would be if his family or friends knew his password.
unless the forum admin perhaps reset it to do something?  Lips sealed

His account was probably compromised due to the forum hack, or his email was. I think satoshi's email address was even compromised at one point.

Hard to believe N.S.A have any involvement, other then sha256 algo which was invented by NSA back in 2002 if i am not wrong.
Why would they name project with a asian common name like Satoshi Nakamoto.
Judging by complexity of the project development, i am pretty sure there was a group of experts from many industries involved, i can see someone who was involved in gaming industry, i see some part of project from an financial/economics expert, at least 2 programmers and possible a mathematician . Judging by security there are many other experts with a lot of experience in cryptography.
So, it is impossible  for me to think there is a single person who can do such a beautiful work. I can only admire the work job Smiley

The CIA and NSA, like all of the other 15 elements of the National Intelligence Community, collect and analyze foreign intelligence related to US national interests and disseminate finished intelligence products to foreign policy decision makers in the federal government.
Bitcoin is not part of that picture.

Did you watch a movie about Snowden?

Snowden was a hack....

I would plum with it being unlikely, just cos it fits some narrative its way more likely to be no NSA.. my suspicions are it is someone from UK, or someone who lived there, so that would also bring down the NSA argument, though I guess not completely. But like someone else pointed out with TOR network, it was created by US, but people still trust and use it.

HIRE ME FOR SMALL TASK
So the long lost rumor is awaken,  i got a little fire to start. I have searched about satoshi nakamoto on google and i saw some pictures but since i don't know the truth which one is true and which is not. I am still thankful.

The only way to reveal that secret is to ask admin theymos and admin cyrus, moderators and staffs. they know the answer behind that secret.
