Original 'white paper' was published in 1997 by BIS, the Satoshi whitepaper from 2009 is a 99% copy by text of the BIS paper, and note Satoshi paper doesn't even credit the BIS paper.

The SHA256 hash used by BTC, is 100% created and promoted by NSA; The NSA was never released on ALGO and mandated to the public in their +70 year history where they didn't have a backdoor; Fact

The Secp256k1 eliptic curve that is used to generate bitcoin addresses from private keys is designed and developed by NSA; This particular curve is full of backdoors

Anybody that says "TRUST BITCOIN" is a certified MORON.

Who do you trust? Not sure, here's what I think today.

Ethereum is better because it uses KECCAK algos which are Russia developed and stronger; But now ETH has been compromised by 'staking' where all the staking is controlled by US-GOV so they can black-list addresses on their whim; Ergo while ETH is the better coin, its fucked.

ETC using classic ETH algo and not stake is therefore secure, but is ignored because it doesn't make you rilch.

Monero is known to be full of backdoors as its origin is from questionable INTEL sources with CIA-NSA

I particularly like Zcash, and the Zen derivatives as they all super secret addresses to hide transfers, so you have real privacy, while BITCOIN/ETH offer NO privacy.

Forget about the $$$ money bullshit and getting rich off of crypto; It's just like GOLD, you hide it some place and never tell anybody you have it, best is if you flee, you don't have to carry it with you; This is about FREEDOM, not fuck all about getting rich quick or making assholes like bankman-ponzi rich. Or the CZ's of HK;

The point is a trusted Crytpo is ...

1.) Private
2.) Not developed by the 'man' aka the police state (CIA, NSA, CCB, KGB, MOSSAD )
3.) Strong solid blockchain requiring minimal maintenance;
4.) world wide server base so that transactions can be fast, and no gov can block on ramps to the servers ( VPN )

At this point what is known is that FTX was used to fund Ukraine, that is why $8 Billion USD are 'missing', BIDEN was using FTX to funnel money to UKRAINE and zelensky was buying FTX so that the US money sent to Ukraine can funnel back to BIDEN crony's; FTX Bankman-Ponzi was #2 financial supporter to put BIDEN into power; Ergo the PONZI and the take down of crypto have all been orchestrated by deep-state aka CIA/NSA/BIS ( the bankers ); Possibly more exchanges and cryptos have been used to fund Ukraine conduit back to US political pockets; Certainly of the $100 Bill sent to Ukraine to date, at least 50% was used by Zelensky to buy Crypto where it was money laundered back into USA stocks and real-estate;

In summary 99% of the crypto establish is ran and promoted by common criminal assholes; It's up to you to be part of the 1% and steer clear of the shit;
