classified.. open source.. .. sounds like a contradiction...
open source debunks the classified notion, by the very essence of open source.. and debunks the back-door notion of the early versions of bitcoin

I never said Bitcoin is classified.

Bitcoin could be a classified experiment. Classified EXPERIMENT. As in not Bitcoin is what is classified but the experiment itself. It may have drifted way off their planned experiment and turned into a monster they can not hold back any more.

you are doubling down again. saying you never said X.. but then saying it.. X could be a classified experiment
i again correct you that bitcoin is code and code that can be read..

its like you are trying to say magnesium is not the classified experiment but the experiment of magnesium is the classified experiment
(facepalm)

One more point to make. Ulbricht and the extreme punishment he received. That could be an attempt to push Bitcoin back to its initial tracks too.

ulbricht didnt get prison time for using bitcoin. he got prison time for facilitating drug deals and profiting from it.. oh and organising 'hits' on people
much the same as any 'cottaging' (drug den) where a house thats used to do drug deals. if the house owner knows and ALLOWS and facilitates and take fee's from every deal done in the drug house.. they would get same punishment, no matter the currency used

using a different currency does not change the laws..
bitcoin does not obfuscate/immunise people from crimes/laws..
