Bitcoin, the blockchain, had VERY CRYPTIC origins a decade or so ago. Stories about the nefarious character who invented the digital money system abound. Nothing is clear.
What IF Bitcoin and blockchain was a set-up by dark hands from the "deep state"? The financial system was in a mess and on the verge of total collapse in 2008. It's more likely blockchain and Bitcoin were developed by "deep state" operators than one guy on his own. A new digital money system would surely attract attention of CIA and other government agencies in its early stages, even if they were not totally responsible for it.
Clandestine operators are likely to have recognised the potential, helped set the system up, and made it attractive to people seeking ways of getting out of collapsing US$. At a later stage they'd plan to collapse and disappear all the money that went into Bitcoin and other cryptos. Even if that meant taking down the internet. Another big balloon to pop. Another scam to manage the collapsing economy and US$ to their "deep state" "dark pool" advantage.
Facebook is another example of how "deep state" operators have used internet to track, manage and manipulate people who have willingly used such media and made their connections, views & interests open to surveillance.
Bottom line: Can't trust Bitcoin, blockchain or other cryptos based on internet.
