A comment on daddy Luke Gromen's post reminded me of a phase in my Bitcoin journey. Anyone go down the Triffin's Dilemma rabbit hole? Strap on yer tin hat and giddy up freaks! :)
"What if BC is a CIA op? What if the “opposition” to BC is the same as the planted “opposition” to the creation of a Federal Reserve, as Griffith points out in Creature from Jekyll Island, happened in the years prior to 1913 which, incidentally, worked like a charm."-@jacobooccidente
Note the part about "New Reserve Units" at the bottom.

Who was Triffin? A key player AKA the guy who did the real work in the Marshall Plan implementation under Bissel. Bissel later (1954) became the director who rebooted the CIA and set up Area51 among other things. This was when the agency really hit its stride, as the earlier years had been bumpy due to the agency getting spanked for stuff like tapping the Exchange Stabilization Fund (that Bissel and homies helped usher in during their previous careers) to buy foreign elections via the Vatican. Neat.
During 1951-58 Triffin was a Professor at Yale. I'm sure he and his best buddy Bissel just lost touch. I mean the CIA has never had a history of tapping Ivy Leagues for talent and cover.
[Enter sarcastic snort here]
It's a simple correlation with clear origins and motive broskees. The CIA planted the Satoshi paper and kicked off Bitcoin. Not only was the CIA the leading mind in cryptography, but it had a clear motive (funding clandestine ops outside of the dollar ecosystem) and the foundational influence/direction of Bissel who was pulling Triffin in through the back door.
Also, who else had the computing power to kick BTC off in 2009? Coincidentally right after the great financial crisis that ear marked the beginning of the end for the dollar, which Triffin predicted with stunning accuracy. No one. AWS wasn't spun up. Google was just starting to get their data centers in the dirt. Foreign nations were a decade behind. US Agencies were the only ones with the juice to get over the initial mining hump, until the network could hit critical mass and become self sufficient/defend itself.
