No worries. I deal with the stuff in the privacy tech field all the time. They're just spreading FUD.

Tell them the NSA created the internet, so they should sell their computer.

You’re able to send a bitcoin transaction whether the gov wants you to or not, and as long as you run your own node, your rules will never change (mainly 21million hard cap) so it’s irrelevant who made it.

Posts like this just publicly admit they have done zero research on how the protocol works. You probably should trust these people with many other things in your life either tbh.

The guy even says “I know next to nothing about it” before saying the gov made it. Ok. lol

To me it’s simple…

Why would the so called Elite empower the people with financial sovereignty at the least?

There a number questions that contradict “their” agenda. But this one is simple and enough.

"The elite would never allow..."

As many red-pilled/black-pilled people often do, OP assumes government / "the powerful" have near-unlimited power, which is absolutely false. If "they" can't stop movies from being pirated (much less certain other content which is actually abominable), how do you expect them to stop Bitcoin?

Besides which, even if the NSA did create Bitcoin (which I give about a 0.0001% chance; I don't think they did, but obviously we can't prove it), I don't care. My node still relays blocks, and there are miners all over the world willing to include my transaction in the next block if I pay a high enough fee. Good luck trying to stop me.

If the NSA *did* create Bitcoin and they *were* trying to create something they could control, then they really screwed up bad, because they can't control it. And worse, we now have a valid alternative to CBDCs, which we were heading towards without Bitcoin, so rather than helping push us towards CBDCs, they would have saved us from them. 😂
