There are LOTS of opinions on crypto, that are all over the map. Looks like digital hocus-pocus to me, but others spend millions on it. Does Tucker's opinion label him?
If you want to move values without oversight for clandestine operations, let alone black budget business, back then, it would have been functional.
The same discussion can be had with SHA256, a NSA invention, or Onion routing (Navy) which spawned Tor and Lokinet, etc, or even the internet itself.
Even IF the CIA as an agency, spawned this medium of exchange, the very fact today is that it does not live up to its goals, but rahter, it has been totally redirected, and taken over, does not mean it is evil, or should be shunned.
Given Trumps remarks at the Bitcoin conference, it is clear BTC has a national security implication, and may very well play an important role of stabilizing the purchasing power of the USD (not FRN!)
Then there is Paul Krugman, who, in a response to Trumps plan to keep a strategic reserve of BTC, totally lambasted these plans. So the Deep State ( CIA?) is against it.
hahahha, indeed. Misattribution is quite easily done. NSA did not invent the internet, clearly and, I did not claim they did. The topic was that same discussion about the source of the technology = good or bad, use or shun, could be had.
Of course Al Gore invented the web of Climate Change ....
Bitcoin has been proven to be used by criminal enterprises worldwide to launder money. (At least players smaller than government officials and the 13 families).
Like Indian fake tech support scammers and Nigerian scammers.
But then again, Bitcoin is a tool like anything else. Can be used for good or bad.
Indeed. FRN' s are used by criminals. Guns are used by Criminals. Corporations are used by Criminals. Even worse: Criminals use pillows. O and Criminals also have sex. Criminals are also politicians ....
Not zero but close to it. Bitcoin was never meant to be a long term holder of value.
It doesn't DO anything unique.
It doesn't DO anything the best.
It's not even anonymous.
It allows two people on opposite sides of the world to sell goods and services very easily.
There is no VALUE in Bitcoin as a coin.
There is merely VALUE in it having a STABLE price so that the buyers and sellers using the Bitcoin for exchanges aren't destroyed from wild swings.
As it stands now, it's a stack of cards.
There is value in decentralized currency exchanges.
It’s obvious btc was built with NSA cryptography and Satoshi is a narrative. But it’s better than CBDC.
The NSA didn't invent cryptography any more than the Arabs invented calculus.
That’s why I said nsa cryptography, not just cryptography in general.
u/#correct
Turning DS' own weapons against them, again.
Right at the end, as the cabal think their plans are secure. In comes Orangeman and his band of merry anons.
SHA256 is an NSA invention, though it came to BTC only later on. Hence, the appearance of the ever more growing in popularity of SEGWIT addresses.

Bitcoin represents economic freedom from government controls so it seems illogical the controlling CIA invented Bitcoin.
Not necessarily.

I take umbrage with you saying the NSA created the internet. We all know Al Gore created it.😂

Bitcoin will go to fucking zero
😂😂😂
Let me guess. It’s Dan Pena?

There is no value in Bitcoin the coin.
The life of a Comet Ping Pong regular is surely interesting.
Claiming the CIA created Bitcoin is giving them WAY too much credit.
When it comes to BTC, think “moves and counter moves”.
