What if cryptocurrencies are a project of FBI? Is it possible? Maybe is bitcoin not so as we think about it...

Could be a conspiracy of the FBI to make the poor rich, and thus to stabilize the American economy and reduce crime.

Why would they need to create such a sophisticated system, if all real money creation (at least in the US) is controlled and governed by them?
Also, they might not like the idea of privacy coin, ringCT, and future projects that will enable truly private transactions. So why would they create it?

I think it could be a nice instrument to catch the criminals by the way.

I also heard this opinion. It is likely that the solution of such cryptographic problems is the FBI intrigues. We all know that passwords are encrypted using certain algorithms to decrypt them more than 1k years. And if we assume that this is the FBI's scheme, I can not imagine what data they have access to ...

Could be, creating a sophisticated bitcoin system for a particular purpose
But what I see, bitcoin has a positive impact, whether it's the FBI or someone else, I'm very grateful with bitcoin, because bitcoin can make a pitch field for a lot of people

Formally, any crypto currency is created by thousands and thousands of independent and free miners, but in fact behind all of them there is one main organizer and "beneficiary". Applicable to bitkoyn - it is possible that the creation of the crypto currency is the FBI project, the New World Order project.

interesting guys i dont know how your brains work   :o good luck

Whocares if Bitcoin is watched by the people inside FBI agencies. At least there is money in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is an open source project and anyone can read the code.

The problem today is there are far too many people who engage in conspiracy theories instead of learning.

what would be the purpose for it?

Yes totally agree with you. But whatever, you don't need to worry about that too much because people now they know about the coin too much! Bitcoin everywhere, rverytime :)

The concept of a P2P bank was in an NSA white paper before Satoshi.

The crypto used is NSA

Satoshi Nakamoto in Japanese means Center of Intelligence, so an NSA joke pointing to CIA

It's the perfect big brother tool to track everything

Every coin created and every wallet every transaction in and everyone out

Some claim it was NSA project to track drug money, arms dealers n terrorists.

When did Satoshi disappear?

When Gavin said he was going to see NSA

Interesting to speculate on

FBI is low IQ cops

NSA does do crypto

So NSA not FBI

Oh, they used to call me DEEP THROAT

Now they call me DEEP WALLET

Would be interesting if the FBI created it or something. However I dont think they did.

It doesn't matter if it turned out to be the creation of the dream team of Beelzebub, Stalin and the Kardashians, it's open source ergo there can be no back doors, they would be found and removed.

It's also far, far beyond any one entity's control. That's the whole point of it. At this point there likely isn't one single piece of code remaining that resembles anything put together by Satoshi. Other people took it out of the hands of its creator and have run with it. There's no going back and the origins become ever more irrelevant.

The one relevant part is all of those coins mined early. If three letter agencies had them it would be an interesting one, however they can only be sold once.

Whatever it is! i'm very proud that they help every one of us in the planet to make our life easier. Yes people are dying in poverty but this Creation is one way to get rich quick. We're in era of technology and i'm very glad that we have the best technology we had encounter. Cryptocurrency is the future!

That still remains a mystery. Some say it's alien's project while some other say that it's an illuminati project Now some has come to say that it's an FBI project. Only satoshi who hided his identity could reveal who's project it is.

Nothing is impossible. But do you really think what all cryptocurrency like Monero it's the work of the FBI?  I am convinced, they can get drugs or guns and any illicit things in other ways.  ;)

In general, I feel like the whole theory that the FBI or any other security agency is behind the creation of bitcoin is pretty far fetched. If it was an instrument to catch criminals, then it would make sense that it wouldn't be anonymous. The anonymity is one of the most important parts of bitcoin, so the fact that it's implemented makes it pretty hard to see as an FBI product unless there's some backdoor that magically hasn't been found yet.

It's possible that a different crypto is a part of an FBI creation, but I don't think bitcoin is one of those coins.

I can understand the interest of the blockchain but not a currency for the FBI

FBI cannot create something like Bitcoin.

FBI has nothing to do with financial projects. If any agency it would most likely be the CIA. They are known for trying to cause disturbances around the world and independent money might look like a safe haven for unstable economies. It's working as we speak because countries that were going bankrupt like Zimbabwe are starting to get interested in virtual currencies.

if true the crypto currency is an FBI project, what is the benefit of this project for them? and what is the purpose of this project? i think no one can answer it.
because I see this is just a conspiracy theory that is far from reality. but the FBI may also search and track criminal data from BTC.

This is beyond my imagination if it is true but I think that is impossible. At their level, the advanced nations of the world with very professional intelligence they can thoroughly investigate if the bitcoin is generated by the FBI. Because I can not understand the FBI deliberately creating bitcoin for what purpose. This is a terrible idea.

There are many conspiracy theories like this but I don't believe them much because I believe bitcoin is the future technology, I hope I am not wrong

not so sure of what you think, maybe on the one hand we can suspect anyone, but the important thing I know bitcoin can be legal in every country, if that's true there is FBI I think it's easy to get legal in every country :)

Uh, no. Satoshi Nakamoto can be translated in a number of ways, but "Center of Intelligence" is a stretch likely made up by conspiracy theorists. You can find more info here:

I am of the opinion that it's nothing more than a conspiracy theory simply because of the absence of solid evidence. No one had any idea that Bitcoin could be as big as it is now, so I seriously doubt anyone ever planned it for use as a mass surveillance system.

I am not sure, but It’s still possible.. but what’s the reason?

It is quite and interesting topic, conspiracy.
I think it is more like a project from Freemasonry than FBI.  They are will smarter than them. ;D

The FBI doesn’t do that sort of work. If you want to create a good conspiracy thread you need to do a little research.

The U.S Cyber Command, National Security Agency, Central Security Service and Central Intelligence Agency have the brain power and computers to do it. The Central Security Service is responsible for signals intelligence, cryptology and information assurance so they would be my best guess for being the creator of bitcoin.

If that so, what is the purpose of FBI? As far as I know, FBI is anti-crime agency and not a marketing company. They will not make an effort here unless they have person to be hunted.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a police agency. They're cops. They chase bad people only inside of American borders and put them in little boxes with bars. 

How dumb can you get, if it would be FBI project we'll would have been jailed for falling into it. Why don't you google it, and see it, this was invented by Satoshi, who was also here on this legendary forum, but now no one really knows where he is or what has happened to him. Stop making such nonsense posts, and learn to google stuff. If you're not aware you won't get merit for such kind of posts, and will never rank up.

Another conspiracy theory. Satoshi Nakamoto is an FBI agent or high ranking official. Just like Deep Throat of the Watergate Scandal. Whoever created bitcoins, I’m thankful they did.r

I don't think so. If this is the project of NBI why are they making it hard for themselves.It is hard to trace a transaction in here. And bitcoin is existing for a decade already so I don't believe it is thw project of NBI. one thing is for sure,people nowadays are crazy of bitcoin as  we are earning in here. It helps us financially and that whats matters to me.

It is far possible that Bitcoin might be a project of FBI. Is that how FBI are good enough to make a currency that has the power to cost $20K and make rich people, who invested, or those who work hard, to gain it, rich? Well, if ever that it is just a project of FBI, at least they made a currency that is too hard for someone to steal, from blockchains and wallets, to trading platform.

an interesting idea, but I almost do not use bitcoin, altcoins are exactly anonymous and not controlled :)

I think that is not true. The FBI is a work devoted to the state and was not related to the business. The FBI will never be subtle enough and robust to be able to develop a power altcoin like bitcoin.
We really should not have post like this. We need to discuss practical issues to help our members better understand Bitcoin. That's my opinion and I think that's right.

Then why did the US government itself made a lot of steps just so they could take out the ones who are using bitcoin as a means of payment from the black market?
Silk Road. One proof they dont know anything about it yet. They just knew it from there, it was the start that they eyed bitcoin. But once again they dont even have an idea it could come to this.

The view that bitcoin was created by the American FBI is nothing more than fantasy and is not based on anything. Besides, why should they do it? Some say to undermine China's economy, which now constitutes real competition for the US. However, the Chinese government wanted and banned the Crypto currency. And what's next? Moreover, to launch such a complex project, which is still unknown than will end, including for the US itself. However, if this is so, then it's worth to thank the American FBI, they did a really good job.
