Let's for one minute say that what you're saying is correct, that Satoshi was not a person but a group of people and it is a government project, what did they expect to achieve with it?

Think about the sort of people Bitcoin attracts: Anti-government anarchists, tax cheat, drug users, the pathologically foolish, internet criminals... Like Pooh Bear to a Honeypot...
Ehh? Yeah, now you're getting it...
Cheesy

You mean they created this currency, so that criminals would use it because of it anonymity and other advantages and when they do, they'll get caught?

I repeat, this "anonymity" is a fiction, here's reality:

...Then we got TOR (US gubermint product), Bitcoin (at least SHA-2 is verifiably gubermint) & the unholy spawn of the two, DNMs. Suddenly tracking became much easier. Instead of IRL-roaming LEO minions, just a couple of pasty doughnut-munchers -- sit on their butts, log, and process.
Licking their fat chops, waiting for the go-ahead from Teh Man to spring THE TRAP!!!...

So, why haven't they done it already, people are scamming left and right,

Wait, you don't think feds set up a honeypot to protect criminals from each other, do you? 'Coz that would be pretty rich Cheesy

some hackers were also extorting people with that virus (if you remember) that encrypted all the files, even the celebrity fappening was sold for bitcoins and I am sure there have been other crimes where criminals used bitcoins but I don't remember seeing anyone getting arrested. Sure some exchange guys did but they're not the hardcore criminals government is after.

Like all sting/entrapment operations, this one takes time, and many khrimez go unpunished. Good things take time, OTOH a bunch of pedos/DNMs operators/low-level idiots got popped without compromising the honeypot & provided a bit of cheese to keep this scheme fed.
The best is yet to come!

BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Well my point about it being anonymous was, "if" as you say, it is a government project then they needed to convince the criminals that it is anonymous and if you think that it is not anonymous and it's all a fiction, then criminals must have figured that out too by now <>

Lol @ Bitcoin criminals being smart enough to "have figured that out too." You simply don't understand the Bitcoin criminal mind. We're dealing with people who keep frickin' diaries of their murder plots on the same laptops that they use to hire teh totally srs and legit anon hitmen Cheesy

As I said, Bitcoin criminals are the low-hanging fruit, their Achilles' heel is delusions of grandeur. And being stupid, ofc.
