What if (((THEY))) invented Bitcoin?
...
I've never ruled it out, but almost all of my observations thus-far argue against it.
The strongest hypothesis seems to me to be the standard story that it was done by some group who was pissed off about 2008. Probably pissed off before that, but 2008 was the incentive to start coding.
A beautiful (standard) story for children to help them sleep at night. Who are converting their fiat into BTC the most right now? The 'little people' with little savings, or the sociopaths like Jack Dorcey?
Everything should be questioned, even the beautiful story of BTC's Genesis...
