Do you believe the FBI holds the biggest number of bitcoin?

[sekapai]

FBI always a step ahead from what we think..so i think they already hold bitcoin years ago.
maby north korea also did the same as FBI.

Things are getting worst than worse with government and bitcoins. If anything like that happens, we will again get stuck in the same place where we are right now. They will be controlling our money, we will have to pay taxes, everything will remain the same except the fact that then it will be just in digital form. Kill me before that day, please!

I was thinking like you until I realized there is one major difference : new Bitcoins can't be created from thin air as they do with regular currencies.
But yes, they will do their best to recreate the situation we are now.

Bitcoin inflation, the rate at which coins are mined is halved every four years, while inflation in fiat is controlled at the discretion of politicians and bankers this is what makes bitcoin attractive you have a very good idea of how many coins are going to be created in any given year so there is transparency but we do not know how much money a central bank is going to print.

In every case of bitcoin criminals arrests, the FBI always gets a large amount nominally which is finally auctioned by federal courts, but I do not really believe it because they also store a lot of medicine in their warehouse for business purposes, I think also applies to bitcoin, they hold a lot of bitcoin in their pockets because this is a very valuable asset.

Do you believe the FBI holds the biggest number of bitcoin?

How would we know?  How certain are they?  We can't tell because nobody/no one would say how many bitcoins he/she has on his/her hands

Maybe, specially the cyber crime unit where they usually apprehend all illegal cyber activities and transactions which means they get to take also the bitcoins though I am not sure where will it go after.

[Tumanggor]

for this one we can only guess whether FBI agents or other governments have large amounts of Bitcoin deposits, and I do not think so, because they are government agents and in government salaries.

[bitblackred]

It is obvious what the governments have the biggest number of bitcoin

[BeerPanda]

Haha  I don't think FBI needs it. btw I think that all of us should invest our money in btc. I also believe that project that can effect offline economy are more reliable and has big future. We all have admit that world economy will change soon if ICO wont be banned. So Confideal (contacts), Atlant (buildings), ADEX so on.

[the rise]

The FBI always take most of the assets they confiscate, even they will play secretly not to reveal full assets to the country, there is always a conspiracy in it, I imagine how much they get from btc-e and not transparent in public auctions. Then what is auctioned, cryptocurrency? This is very ambiguous because the US government does not recognize bitcoin as a legal tender.

[anelenaniku]

Yes, they had bought a huge amount of BTC very early when BTC was very cheap.

[orpel]

Yes, they had bought a huge amount of BTC very early when BTC was very cheap.

How do you know that?
Did they publish it?

[Redanim]

Maybe its true, they have the best specialists in same sphere, but to be realistic I think they just keep that in secret, if they need money they just can make them in some seconds, I can believe they have some shares in bitcoins but its only assumption.

[thesosorr]

Less convincing. Maybe FBI holds bitcoin but not as the biggest holder. Because, I am still optimistic bitcoin until today hasn't been used as tool to perform activities on basis interests of FBI.

[Rotsor]

The FBI doesn't hold shit. A couple of them tried to steal some from the Silk Road investigation but only for themselves and they have since been on trial so don't worry about the FBI lol.

[yojodojo21]

I will not say that they have, huge amount of bitcoin.
FBI, is the number one enemy of Hackers And illegal traders in black market.
FBI, has captured many illegal doers in internet and get all the things that they have bust.
But, I think that the FBI is the richest organization. They Hold the Internet so they might have it.

[asebaby]

Its hard to say that the FBI holds the biggest number of bitcoin but it is know that they seized a number of bitcoins worth 144,000 BTC and these bitcoin worth about $100 million but this does not mean that the FBI are the largest bitcoin holders, there are so many new players in the bitcoin world.

[Inggridpratiwi]

I would not think the FBI could hold anything, big guys or corps. they have the largest number of BTCs, hence why there is a hidden man named satoshi nakamoto, otherwise we will have more information than his name.

Just imagine in the beginning how BTC BTC mined by satoshi and his crew.

[btcrich2020]

yes FBI hold large number of bitcoin in silk board scam

[BTG-BTC]

the famous FBI theory that created the bitcoin I presume?

[AntonGrishko]

We don't and can't know that for certain. I wouldn't be surprised if they are holding a chunk of bitcoins at the moment.

[Stanlymaker]

I can only say one thing: the governments of all countries are now interested in crypto-currency and the US is no exception.
So now everything can happen, and we can not know about it.
But this is just our guesswork...
