DARPA Gave Us the Internet. Did They Also Give Us Bitcoin?
For years, I believed the legend. That Satoshi Nakamoto was just an anonymous coder—some selfless genius who vanished after changing the world. But the more time I spent inside the code, the more it started to feel... engineered. And not in the romantic sense. In the governmental sense.
Bitcoin's design isn’t just elegant—it’s military-grade. Layered encryption. Timed release. Strategic silence. Coordinated rollout across forums and mining infrastructure. No bugs. No errors. No slip-ups. That’s not the footprint of a hobbyist. That’s the footprint of an operation.
The deeper I dug, the more I saw DARPA’s silhouette—an organization known for birthing advanced technologies decades before the public sees them. The internet, Tor, GPS… Why not Bitcoin?
I no longer believe Satoshi was a person. I believe Satoshi was a program—built, deployed, and extracted with precision. The anonymity wasn’t mysterious; it was procedural. And maybe, just maybe, that was the whole point.
Bitcoin didn’t just appear. It was delivered. And we were meant to find it.
