Replying to Avatar Nostralian

I've had similar thoughts myself. I think we tend to credit the powers that be with a greater intelligence than they deserve. They are great at protecting their own power and enriching themselves, but probably not creating a honeypot trap of such magnitude. They would also risk those attracted by the trap becoming a threat to them, gathering your enemy together and allowing them to see they are not a minority would be dangerous.

Agreed and I do think it’s less likely that #bitcoin and #nostr would have been created by the state for the reasons you suggest.

#Wikileaks to me though has always been very suspicious. Especially since any information that has been successfully shared was of absolutely no real consequence (think Panama papers saying rich people don’t pay taxes, Snowden saying we are all being watched, etc). None of it was in the least bit surprising but could certainly have been an attempt to create legitimacy among other actual whistleblower targets.

And as much as it would suck to be Ed #Snowden if he were legitimate, I can definitely imagine a world in which he remains a very active intelligence asset.

Not sure how my Saturday became conspiracy Saturday, but here I am nonetheless. :)
