More and more people are beginning to believe this theory, but @tarsprotocol is preparing to change all that.
Analyzing the current situation:
First of all, let me be clear that this is not an attempt to spread fear or uncertainty. I firmly believe in Bitcoin and the principles behind it, and I would not waver even if I were the last person in the world to hold it.
However, many economists I respect believe that Bitcoin may be the product of a government agency, so let’s explore that possibility.
Why consider this theory?
"Controlled opposition" is a widely used and extremely effective strategy to manage opposition movements and channel dissent in a predictable and non-threatening way. This strategy can be seen in various industries, such as some environmental organizations that are actually controlled by large oil or transportation companies, pretending to challenge but actually serving their interests. Similarly, in democratic countries, there is sometimes a "pseudo-opposition" that is actually controlled by the ruling power.
So the question is: will the same be true for Bitcoin?
Possible purposes include:
- Leading the call for decentralization
- Test the public's reaction
- Increase financial transparency in the name of anonymity
- distract from truly disruptive systems
- Simulate opposition forces and weaken anti-government movements
What is the evidence for or against this theory?
Many people believe that completely decentralized currencies cannot be controlled, which is not necessarily true. For example, Monero is banned by almost all centralized exchanges due to its complete anonymity. If Bitcoin is really anti-establishment, it may suffer a similar fate. But this is not the case. Bitcoin is increasingly supported by people within the traditional establishment, such as Trump and Larry Fink.
In addition, the hash algorithm (SHA-256) used by Bitcoin was developed by the National Security Agency (NSA), which some believe may hint at the relationship between the NSA and Bitcoin. However, SHA-256 has long been a public standard. Bitcoin's complex design requires a high level of resources and coordination, which is beyond the capabilities of a few developers. Even more difficult to explain is that the identity of the founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has not yet been revealed.
Bitcoin was launched during the 2008 financial crisis, a timing that was very coincidental, and financial institutions may have used this moment to launch Bitcoin as a controlled alternative. More than 3.5 million Bitcoins remain dormant in wallets to this day. Are these Bitcoins really lost, or are they held by financial institutions?
Reasons against this theory:
If Bitcoin was really a product of the government, it should have been more controllable, but this is not the case. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin makes it almost impossible to control. If this was a government project, they would probably have set up a backdoor for it. The existence of Bitcoin has also led to the emergence of more decentralized projects such as Monero and Zcash.
In summary, there is currently no direct evidence that Bitcoin was created by a government or institution, and all “evidence” is based solely on speculation.
in conclusion:
Based on the information currently available, it is still pure speculation to believe that Bitcoin was created by a government. While there are some clues pointing in this direction, they are not enough to draw a conclusion. I am willing to continue to believe that Bitcoin represents the noble principles of freedom, decentralization, autonomy, and technological innovation. If anyone believes otherwise, they need to provide solid evidence, otherwise this is just unfounded speculation.
