Why Does the NSA Keep Popping Up in Bitcoin’s Past?
I used to think Bitcoin was born out of pure digital idealism — a revolutionary antidote to financial tyranny. But the deeper I went, the more I began to question who exactly was behind the curtain. And I mean really question it.
The deeper I looked into early Bitcoin code, timing, and cryptographic design, the more something felt...off. Too perfect. Too polished. Too synchronized with academic research funded by agencies like the NSA. The SHA-256 algorithm — foundational to Bitcoin — wasn’t some random choice. It was developed by the NSA. Coincidence? Maybe. But too many pieces seemed to snap into place with suspicious ease.
Satoshi Nakamoto vanished with surgical precision. No digital trace. No misstep. Just radio silence — as if disappearing was a protocol in itself. And when Hal Finney received the first transaction, I began to wonder: Was this all scripted?
I’m not saying I know the truth. But I stopped believing this was just the work of a lone genius. Something tells me Bitcoin’s origin might be the most sophisticated deployment in modern history — one we were never meant to fully understand.
