Itās very possible.
From people finding CIA in the white paper to the fact there is ZERO privacy built into bitcoin.

What do you mean by "finding CIA in the whitepaper"?
Honestly I have little evidence.
Just remember seeing something where the CIA letters were prominent (spread out) on the first page of the white paper.
Where?
I think someone said is that satoshi nakamoto means Central Intelligence in Japanese.
No idea how true that is.
I don't believe that's true. The "Samsung Toshiba Nakamichi Motorola" one holds more weight and even that is nonsense.
Seems like a reach anyway
Yeah, Iām stretching from something I remember.
A bit of research pulls up potential NSA parallels.

The NSA was/is definitely involved in cryptography but there's not much more of a link than that in your link.
Is very close to the name of the person. That wrote the NSA white paper: https://everything-blockchain.com/bitcoin-invented-by-the-nsa-here-is-their-whitepaper/
Jinkies! Itās all CIA š±š 
Having an open sourced ledger system isnāt a bugā¦ itās a feature that is required to ensure the validity of the chain.
Yes itās necessary to question these things but thereās a reason stuff scales in layers, you canāt achieve perfection in one hit.
The blockchain trilemma.
Yep your right about the blockchain trilema issue. But what I find interesting is any kind of privacy/scalability implementation that could be brought to bitcoin seems to be ignored or considered a bad trade off like Bip300.
The only thing you are allowed is talk about how amazing the lightning network is.
Lightning is great using custodial wallets but bad ux for self-custody ln wallets. Currently, 90% lightning users are using custodial wallets who should know better.
Bitcoin was designed to ecash that didnāt require trust or custodians.
Donāt get me started on lightning privacy š.
