Why the hell did you post this?  Isn't it enough that he and his army of sock puppets post the same shit day after day?

Or, are you just yet another one of his socks?

If you are not one of his puppets prove it by deleting your OP.

Now.

Are you talking about the IB Times reporter? Why would he try propagating his views in this forum? No one would buy them anyway....

No, I am talking about you.  Why did you post this shit when the report himself, though his army of socks, already posts links to everything he writes in that shithole ibtimes (which he owns) here on this forum, usually multiple times.

I am asking you to delete this thread.

How does it matter in the first place ? The code is Open Source.

I don't think botany is another one of his alts.

Because he wants to sell his ebook and make ad revenue, and yes he's been trying VERY hard to spread his FUD:

I don't think the NSA nor the CIA would have time to develop a currency which can be used to by pass banks and governments. Why would they want this?

Its not that far fetched, I think. Perhaps someone thought of it as an alternative to the dollar and fiat currencies in the long term.

Nah leave it on, and we just use this to spread the truth.  ;D

Let the idiot spread his FUD, it just makes him look stupid anyways. There are no facts to back up his claims and the facts proof the opposite anyways.

I think he posted something on the forum, and it was deleted, because it was FUD and Spam, and now he is angry and trying something else to get attention.

1. Show us the "backdoor" in the BTC open source protocol. {If you even know what Open source is}
2. Post something on the CIA or whatever, backed by facts, and see if it gets deleted.
3. Post any source to backup your story.
4. Proof the translation of "Yakamoto Satoshi" name.

Then we will take you serious, until then, you just a idiot troll spreading useless FUD to get attention or to get paid.

It is poor attempt to discredit bitcoin. It's growing rapidly and it's not going to stop until it has eaten up every other currency.

Why would this be considered as serious news at this point is beyond me.  It interesting to think of how much scrutiny Bitcoin has gone under by governments all over the world.  If you ask me someone would have come out and warned against the adoption of Bitcoin if it were flawed.  They don't because it isn't the case IMO.

Bitcoin Suspected to Be NSA or CIA Project.... buy a person who likes to promote fud to sell his products. I very much doubt the NSA or the CIA or any other American organisation had anything to with with bitcoin.

No evidence, no documentation, just a random made up musing. Ahh, you can't blame them. They need to write something to bring in the traffic.  ::)

That's exactly what it is. The guy who created that site is prolific in spamming his fud here. Be funny if it was true though  :D.

We can deny all we want, but where is the proof they are not involved and satoshi is
just a name. As far as we know Satoshi is just a name, and the individual may not even be
what we think they are. (Could be some guy in belize as far as we know)
sometimes the truth is right in front of us and we refuse to see it.
I don't know myself, it's an interesting take. I don't know who created it.
Neither do any of you.

We may not know who created it but we do know with 100% certainty that the CIA did not create it.

This is certain because it was reported in the IB Times and they are 100% wrong 100% of the time.
