What if CIA behind this project? Would you still keep your money as bitcoins? Would you trust them? Do we know who the hell is Satoshi Nakamoto? I suure don't.

In my opinion it doesn't matter where the code came from so long as it's safe to use. The Bitcoin core code is heavily scrutinised and reviews, so anything nasty left in it by Satoshi/the CIA/whoever can be swiftly cleaned up or removed.

I don't think that CIA is behind the creation of Bitcoin, why? Because if it is than Donald Trump would not allow it or most certainly Barrack Obama as the president back then does not have any purpose or a particular goal in creating Bitcoin. Another point it is being use in online transactions in Silk Road where you buy your illegal drugs. Why will the government create an untraceable currency if they want to chase the criminals? It is obvious there is no government behind the creation of Bitcoin.

Yeah I don't think there's a government behind it, I was just replying to the OP.
Anyway, shouldn't be too dismissive as I think that Tor was originally a government project.
