Some ideas on how it could work:
- Read through the connection data (phone,email etc) from key figures of the Bitcoin community to gain insider knowledge
- Infiltrate core development and replace Bitcoin key figures with NSA staff
- Discredit respected members of the community
- Kill people, if they don't corporate.
Are core devs discussing this possiblility of a large scale infiltration and how to avoid?
This is really a big question for the big authorities , And also we knows that already many countries like Japan has big success in technology and they are able to make more control ( stop or make it garbage) but still they just regulated it by imposing tax on the buy sell of Bitcoin , so we can make ourself sure that it is 99% impossible for anyone to stop it by technology , even if any government may ban through ip but can't ban through vpn services use .
And also here we should see towards the humanity that money doesn't have more importance than what people's life have , so they can't kill people to use Bitcoin .
So here we can say there is currently no chance for them to control over btc .
