If the government could shut it down, they would have done so a long time ago (look at what happened to the liberty dollar's creator). The whole goal of Bitcoin's creation was to create a currency that governments cannot control.
It's secret because they would murder and/or imprison those who created it if they could.
It's designed to replace an evil system that they definitely control currently. Why would they replace something they have total control over with something that they can't control?
If they own all the BTC, then the only way to control it would to be to sell it. After they sell it, they no longer have control. They can't print it like the current system.
The code is 100% open source. We do know the origins of Bitcoin, just not the exact individual or individuals who put it together. None of that has any effect on the trustability of the network because it's all transparent and verifiable by anyone.
The CIA invited Gavin Anderson, Satoshi's right hand man, to give a presentation to them and explain how Bitcoin works. This was after it got widespread attention due to WikiLeaks accepting Bitcoin donations. Shortly after Gavin went to the CIA is when Satoshi disappeared.
Now why would the CIA be asking to be briefed about what Bitcoin is if they created it?
It's certainly plausible that some or all of the underlying tech came from the NSA and/or military, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything nefarious if it's actually open source.

Bitcoin = Separation of money and state. The Founders would be proud.

I read the CIA created blockchain and it’s verifiable declassified.
Link pls
Psh tried finding it! I forget the source might have even been a vice. Could have been voat.
It was a diagram about the blockchain being created w source code originating from cia or darpa mil some sorts! It was presented as legit.
I vaguely remember something along those lines as well. That said, BTC is the only earthly hope that I'm aware of.

I’m just spitballing off what I’ve seen. Was some diagram detailing blockchain creation through mil or cia! Was presented as documentation.
