Wait til you figure out who created Bitcoin….
For those #privacy advocates out there, here's a stark reminder about how important it is that the solutions be #OpenSource and you be able to compile and run the code yourself. The #FBI secretly ran an #encrypted #phone company that was #backdoored to intercept tens of millions of messages. It was the largest sting operation in history.

The latest news in this story is that the confidential source who first created the phone company and provided it to the FBI is going to be publicly identified in court documents. Considering they contributed to the downfall of multiple large operations (e.g. $1 billion/year drug cartels), this is going to put them in grave danger.

Who did then?
I'll wait.
NSA/CIA
Plausible.
not really.
afaict the Bitcoin code Satoshi released it's much more like a slightly amateurish, weekend coder labor of love
than a committee of spooks releasing a project.
also if the theory is federal theres also the question of motive, which theres no great answer for
seems pretty unlikely all in all
I am familiar with the commentary about Satoshi's the irregular coding style, Hungarian curly braces or some stuff lol...only a software engineer could tell...leaving only a few to analyze nostr:nprofile1qqsdnkaqupetmv6nm7cqyr0ptyfx4ar7d8sn8653h02gazldudejpcsppamhxue69uhh5cts9emkzarrdqq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd4hhxarj9ec82cspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdu3fkjgm can you confirm?
Translate Satoshi Nakamoto and its central intelligence.
I'm fluent in Japanese, standing next to a Japanese person and can confidently say theres a number of different kanji that can be read "Satoshi"
