nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a posted a good thread on Xitter about Satoshi and the origins of Bitcoin and the replies are full of muppets saying it’s CIA..

How many AnCaps do you think work for the CI fucking A? The answer is Zero. None.

No-one who believes in a voluntary society is going to work for the alphabet agency responsible for literally dozens of coups, thousands of assassinations, and millions of deaths in wars and drug trafficking. Certainly not such a brilliant mind as Satoshi who could have made fortunes in the private sector.

This wasn’t a teenage vegan putting aside their preferences to work at McDonalds for min wage - this was a genius dedicating free time to an open source project done the right way to subvert the entire global economic system.

And there is no doubt Satoshi was AnCap, whether he’d have used that word to describe himself is another story, but his worldview is definitely aligned and he was clearly well versed in that philosophy else he wouldn’t have created a decentralised currency outside of the State and went to such great lengths to keep himself anonymous such that it could survive beyond him.

It’s just more cope from the loser brigade who want bag-pumping crypto scams to be front and centre because once the story of Bitcoin is known, people grok that it is the Zero to One. They see the history it was built upon and the confluence of factors that led to Bitcoin’s discovery and then there is no unseeing it, down the rabbit hole you go..
