Let's not jump to conclusions now. Although I agree that Bitcoin could prove useful to the CIA, they still have to do what the White House tells them, and the WH will obviously be hostile towards Bitcoin.
I'd be very impressed if Bitcoin were a CIA project or that Satoshi turns out to be a government agent.
Why would a government agency create a currency that undermines the government's ability to collect taxes?
Because they are sick of taking their orders from banksters ... the current system is impoverishing govt. as well. The only people prospering are the corrupt, incompetent top-dogs at insolvent mega-banks, that's a doomed society right there. Even the drones in govt. can see that.
