Theory? Was Bitcoin invented by NSA?

"Satoshi is a member of the 1%"
This "1%" shit has always bothered me. 1% of people might be wealthy, but when it comes to the people pulling the strings, it's not the 1%, it's more like the 0.00001%.
I just feel like it's a term created by those who are trying to distract us from the fact that billions of people are controlled by thousands. They want us to blame the rich, not those who actually rig the system to work the way it does.
"Satoshi" is likely a group of at least 3 or more people, at least 1 of which is Nick Szabo and at least tangentially involving Hal Finney. They chose a very Japanese sounding name to deflect attention by the authorities who had recently arrested Bernard von NotHaus, creator of the Liberty Dollar. It is interesting to note there was an actual person by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto who didn't live far from Hal Finney, and may very well have served, at least subconsciously, as an inspiration for the pseudonym.
Bitcoin was nothing special when it launched. In fact, nobody expected it to go anywhere. It was mostly just a rehash of electronic payment systems that had been tried before, along with a Proof of Work algorithm originally intended to stop SPAM email.
I enjoy a good conspiracy as much as the next guy, but if you know the history of crypto, you realize it was simply way too tenuous in the beginning to be a legitimate secret op. An NSA or CIA op would have been much better funded with better marketing so that they could guarantee it would be accepted. Not just a guy at Caltech using a fake email account.
How do you fund white hat operations “off the books”? Not Clowns in America so don’t have poppy fields in Afghanistan to skim from. Know the DS plans on wrecking the currency and manipulated the gold and silver markets. How to get around? How to take advantage of that? How to make mechanism to fund white hats off books and hard to manipulate through paper markets? Also why is inventor pseudonym [N]akamoto [S]atoshi?
That would be possible, if it wasn't that the majority of bitcoins went in the hands of few people and exchanges/big investors within no time, they can still manipulate the market, plus, as that's a perfect cover for secret legit ops, it ended up being the perfect way to recycle dirty money everywhere and for anyone, from govs, to banks, mafia, smugglers, dealers, etc
I got to think, bitcoin was a test for the system behind the new currency system the cabal wanted to impose together with the microchips, as would fit them perfectly, a single digital currency created by them that can't be 'mined' by people, that could be heavily monitored and tracked ( always by them ), that could be paid as salary / credited with social system scoring bonuses ( if you are a good sheep ) and so on, not saying they won't do something similar as it's highly possible, but if i touched it right, t's clear something stepped in the middle, maybe the creation of thousands additional cryptos, exchanges, and so on
Everyone had a chance to buy it dirt, dirt cheap. fuck
My guess is Bitcoin is China/Epstein
Not so sure. Internet was invented by DOD for event of nuclear war to be able to communicate across a network even if many of the nodes are crippled such as with a nuclear first strike.
EMP is a scary scenario. If nuclear high atmosphere strike could cripple grid completely for years. Much bigger problems then as everything would be worthless not just Bitcoin. Things for survival would be worth more than gold though as I read report that 90% of US would be dead within a year after grid is taken down permanently by nuclear EMP event
I don’t think it is Chinese they may be using it now but they are clever but not that innovative, thus the need to copy all western IP. And there is chance Chinese citizens would use crypto to move money out of China which the rich Chinese are definitely doing
Bitcoins in general are banned in China, but still they can mine (that's a huge profit anyway with rewards (transaction fees) they get), plus they own almost the whole FPGAs / ASICs market (at least for quantities), those are devices specifically designed and made to mine bitcoin and other cryptos, used by any farm (and also private / small miners) miners with hundreds of pods full of those, and they cost thousands each, both R&D and manufacturing of those device is pot of gold, developing a single processor from design to production costs hundreds of million in euros
Governments ban stuff to retain their own use of it. then they go after the freelancers straying into their territory
