I they cannot control Bitcoin or crypto in general, they kill it's creator and replace them with a fraud operating with the US govt.
Now he ( the us govt) can claim copyrights of crypto and blockchain technology. What implications would this have? Collaboration with the US govt, higher transaction fees ? Disowning of BTC, blockchain copyright, alt coins banning?
Welcome to the world of conspiracy theories! And why not, if you can't stop bitcoin then get someone who is a certified fraud to claim to be the real Nakamoto Satoshi and work with the man, letting him get the copyright for the bitcoin whitepaper and then cooperate with each other so that whatever you have in mind can possibly come true. Okay, I am just being carried here away. Maybe we should always remember that nobody owns bitcoin much more the people from the government who could not even understand how cryptocurrency works.
