Ok I just want to point out I dont believe in the NWO crap however ...
Say there is a group that is smart enough, powerful enough, and influential enough to do the things people claim they do. Are you telling me they are not smart enough to to be able to create a digital currency that everyone would use? And not only that, but make you believe it was your idea in the first place, and that its completely safe from such control. Because if it were me, average joe, that's exactly what I would do. And im not any of those things listed above.
If such a group of people existed, they would be smart enough to realize a single fiat currency isnt a sustainable option if everyone is against it in the first place. Much less whole nations that cant even get fiat right. What already more interconnected internationally than the internet and P2P?
Bitcoin as an 1llum1n4t0rz' honeypot would be a far too over-architectured and convoluted maneuver, as crypto-currency protocols allow too many degrees of freedom, being not tied to identification requirements. The shadowmen could just have extended Facebook Credits and be done with it. Really, most people out there don't care about any degree of privacy as long as things are easy and shiny.
No, it's rather that the cat is out of the bag, Pandora's box is open. Even if Bitcoin gets co-opted (like the blockchain being watched and regulated with everyone being required to register their Bitcoin addresses), the privacy-aware folks would just migrate to a fork, and history would merely be repeating itself.
