In the end, it’s about power and trust. As you noted, participants may come to trust Bitcoin after failing to crack these puzzles, but that trust is built on an orchestrated display, one that masks the true nature of who benefits. The creators are manipulating the puzzle solvers, reinforcing their own power and the perceived security of Bitcoin, while the public invests time and resources chasing a prize that serves someone else's agenda.
The only logical next step after discovering the world’s most elaborate cryptographic conspiracy is, obviously, to write a book about it. I mean, forget the fact that you’ve unraveled the entire power dynamic of global intelligence agencies using Bitcoin as their own private fortress of control, what better way to fight back than publishing a bestseller? Who knows, maybe you’ll even get a movie deal out of it.
