Or maybe the US didn't create #Bitcoin at all?
I put very little faith in the eptitude of government employees.

It helps to think more along the lines of what US-funded research produced. Some of the major innovations that predated bitcoin were the product of decades of work from both the public and private sector. DARPA led to TCP/IP, originally a defense sector project, for example. You could say that Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn (known as the the “fathers of the Internet”) were technically government employees. That said, the wheels were set in motion over 50 years ago, and the innovations that came from it were most likely not part of some “deep state” plan. At least I’d like to think so.

Yeah, I actually fall within a similar way of thinking. This was a computer science innovation that was pieced together from decades of collaborative effort.
