is it possible that the bitcoin was created by governments?

[Hamphser]

Not so sure this can be done by the government as the holder of power, bitcoin cannot be created in large numbers, because bitcoin adoption has reached its highest point since they were here, conspiracy theorists do see an opportunity to create something, but it's different with centralized bitcoin and can't be duplicated by anyone, the financial power is due to the development of bitcoin up to this point, the government doesn't have too much access to it

Totally opposing thing,right? but who would be on their right minds on showing up people that they are the ones who had been created Bitcoin since from the start? But seeing on general aspect or in technicals

then something that cant really be controlled or totally anonymous and decentralized is something that government would do.They are creating on something which would really be going opposing on general idea and
preference towards centralization which is a big NO NO!

If they tend to create something just for the sake of more power and in control then they wont really be that dumb on creating Bitcoin.

How come it was made by governments but in reality some of the countries against cryptocurrency and they ban cryptocurrency to be used for either investment or currency or even just use the technology behind the cryptocurrency. I wonder what theory you read before, could you mind to put the link on what theory u were reading before? I'm curious.

Indeed, I don't really care who Satoshi is, because he decided to remain anonymous and we should respect that decision. But I'm sure it can't be the government, the governments are trying to find a way to stop bitcoin so it can't be their creation, if bitcoin is centralized then we can be suspicious.

Bitcoin has been helping us reduce our reliance on fiat and banking, which is great but I don't expect it to beat fiat and banking. This will only increase tension between the government and bitcoin.

It's crazy to believe the government created Bitcoin when they were doing fine with Fiat. Creating a currency that's open for anyone to use is no other than declaring the death of banks. I think Bitcoin was created by a group of libertarians/cypherpunks instead of the government. Satoshi could've been a codename of a group of people working on the project. It's possible Nick Szabo, Wei Dai, and Hal Finney were all involved in the creation of Bitcoin. But again, it really doesn't matter because the cryptocurrency was created with decentralization in mind. If Bitcoin had a leader, then people would follow him instead of the project itself. You can see how this is the case with Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin these days.

There are some people looking to take advantage of Bitcoin's popularity by impersonating themselves as Satoshi (like Craig Wright). But they've been unable to prove their claims so far. I hope people will give up on their quest to try to find who created Bitcoin and just focus on its utility. The cryptocurrency's been a widespread success since day one, so it's possible it will last a lifetime. Just my thoughts

[kawetsriyanto]

As far as I know, governments don't like a decentralized system. The Bitcoin principle is the opposite of the government's principle. So, it doesn't make sense if governments are trying to ruin their own principle by creating Bitcoin. People or a person who creates Bitcoin must be anti-government, they/he is unhappy with the centralized system used by the governments. That's why they or he made a solution by creating something that can't be controlled by the government.

bitcoin is, electronic money created by Satoshi Nakamoto, in 2009. and I don't know? Satoshi Nakamoto is government or not. The clear point is that the existence of bitcoin has helped the economy of the world's people, especially for those who are interested in how they invest in bitcoin. and uniquely investing in bitcoin can be done by all circle.

The concept of Bitcoin is indeed very unique so that it can be used by all people who already know how it works and also know how to store it properly. But what is still very sad is that at this time there are so many people who only know Bitcoin by name, but have never tried to get to know it further and also invest in Bitcoin and also try to get Bitcoin for them to keep.

There are only 3 possible reasons on why people do still decide not to engage despite on hearing it out.

1. Regulation
2. Afraid to take investment risk
3. Doesnt know the basics of its utility

If ever they do just know even into its utility then its really a solid reason for them to say that it would really be just good and its really that
impossible for government to be the ones who had created it.We know on how it works and what are the benefits that it gives which is totally opposing centralization.

[supto005]

I believe that governments have fully understood the problems of the Fiat, and feel their death close. For this reason, they have been creating this platform

The governments are against Bitcoin due to its decentralization. As bitcoin's underlying technology does not allow any central authority for any transaction, the government cannot regulate the monetary policy and loses its power. So, there is no possibility that they have been creating this platform

Yes, this is true and governments have been quite satisfied all this time with fiat. Bitcoin with its principles and features, on the contrary, interferes with them. I don't think governments would create something that they can't manage and have no power over. Moreover, they did not pay attention to bitcoin for a long time. It was only when bitcoin became widespread around the world and became significantly more expensive that governments wanted to regulate it. Again, for the purpose of collecting taxes. If bitcoin were their creation, they would have been collecting taxes from bitcoin users for a long time, but as we can see, they have not figured out how to do this until now.

Exactly. Something they cannot control will be consider as the #1 threat to government's existence. Some governments and central banks already fear Bitcoin will take over the world as the leading currency. That's why you see constant opposition from said entities in order to prevent as much people from using Bitcoin on top of Fiat. You wouldn't see such attitude towards Bitcoin if governments created it in the first place. What makes sense is that a person or collective designed Bitcoin as some sort of protest against the government-controlled monetary system.

Ultimately, what matters is that Bitcoin works as a decentralized cryptocurrency no one can stop (even though Satoshi abandoned the project some time ago). I don't really care if Bitcoin's creator is dead or alive as long as it works as intended. The pioneer cryptocurrency's been doing fine without Satoshi anyways. Who knows if someday people give up on their quest trying to find who the real Satoshi is? Just my opinion

THe countries which are more crypto friendly - are more progressive people are trading and buying with ease and confidence than those living in the regions where crypto and gambling is banned.
So I wish there is an ease for the traders and investors and buyers and world become a more progressive place to live.

Crypto isnt everything yet if you do live on a country which is totally negative or been prohibited on that place then you do still have other option yet considering that this market is anonymous and can be accessed

on different ways then i dont really see much of a problem on making yourself progressive at least.I dont really believe on what op is statin about bitcoin created by the government considering on how
decentralized it is then it is something  that gov't cant really let loose into the public since they would really know the cons or the results.

So its not really that much possible about those presumptions and also why would really be giving out too much stance against crypto if they do know that they are the ones behind?
Alibi or just showing off? not really that convincing imho.

According to conspiracy theory, Is it possible that the bitcoin was created by governments to gain financial strength in the modern world?

There is absolutely no connection bitcoin created by the government, the concept of decentralized bitcoin development, this will affect the financial system involving the government, so far there has been no strong reference that says bitcoin is created by the government, conspiracy theories also cannot be associated with bitcoin travel. Even if this is the case, bitcoin can be regulated as the dollar reacts in an increase or decrease in price, in general this relationship has no correlation that can be attributed to existing data and sources

Different mindsets different ideas, but this cannot seem to be a practical idea.
However maybe in the days to come. Things will get better and more people will get benefited from crypto, through proper research and education

It's all a conspiracy theory to try to confuse people about Bitcoin's true origins. It wasn't created by the government, neither a single person as many believe it to be. It was created by a group of smart people with libertarian values in mind. I think Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Wei Dai, and a few other cypherpunks were involved in the creation of Bitcoin. They've decided to go under the nickname of "Satoshi Nakamoto" in order to avoid bringing unwanted attention. You think governments would launch a free (as in liberty) and open cryptocurrency anyone can use worldwide? If they did that, then they would've "shut down" the banking system already. But we all know banks are still in play, making us certain that this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory.

Again, it doesn't matter who created the pioneer cryptocurrency as long as it works as intended. All we need is decentralized and censorship-resistant money no one can stop in order to achieve worldwide prosperity. Bitcoin's been doing fine since day one, so it's likely it'll last for generations. Just my thoughts

I like what you have stated.
And why would Government let the control go in the hand of people. The money matter is very tricky stuff. There are lots of scam and fraud involved too. Even so many members in the forum complaint their wallet being hacked.

Well if that is for conspiracy then there's a chance for it but I don't believe that Bitcoin is created by governments, if we talk about money laundering & manipulation of prices by banning it from their country then it would make sense if the government make the Bitcoin but If Bitcoin is part of their scam they should add their money in it before taking a lot of profits to attract investors.

[Roteinstein]

According to conspiracy theory, Is it possible that the bitcoin was created by governments to gain financial strength in the modern world?

Which conspiracy theory are you pointing out? People who know bitcoin know that it is Satoshi Nakamoto who invented bitcoin but as to his personal identity, it is still unclear until now if he is a real person or just a pseudonym which is a person behind famous digital currency called bitcoin. If it is to strengthen financial aspect of the modern world, I doubt it because until now banks and governments are still against wide adoption of bitcoin. just my opinion.

I agree with you.
No one knows what the answer is. From a different perspective, no one knows Satoshi's true identity, and it is uncertain whether this person exists or not, so it is possible that Bitcoin is a government project. But I still prefer the view that "Bitcoin is not created by the government". At present, it is still opposed by the governments of many countries, and some governments are even very opposed to Bitcoin.

this is correct we are still unaware of how Satochi is ...and either he exist or not.
How it came into exisastance - but maybe coming years - maybe the world changes all together while dealing with these transitions. Who knows what is coming up next.

Bitcoin is currently increasingly popular because many countries legalize and make bitcoin as an asset, of course everyone wants to have or invest Bitcoin, if there is a thought whether the state can make bitcoin certainly cannot, maybe the country can make coins similar to bitcoin.

[Argoo]

According to conspiracy theory, Is it possible that the bitcoin was created by governments to gain financial strength in the modern world?

If bitcoin was created ostensibly to gain the financial power of the government that created it, then what is the mechanism for the growth of this financial power? In practice, we see quite the opposite effect. Cryptocurrency showed the vulnerability and imperfection of the current fiat payment system and provided citizens with an effective financial weapon against their own governments. I see no reason for governments to create weapons against themselves. This is just one of the theories that are being expressed a lot now without any evidence.
