If NSA created Bitcoin, did CIA need to pay Gavin Andresen for the talk?
I don't see the relevance. There are lots of reasons for the CIA to address Gavin back when the project was only a year old.

If they created it, then why would they do everything possible to bring it under control?
The posted article does provide an analogy, that bitcoin could be a virus that escaped from the lab. I mean it does make sense for a researcher to have heard of this internally, and thought of releasing it under a pseudonym, so they could forestall the financial advantage.

Historically many American cryptographers worked for the NSA, of course they are not going to disclose it. Maybe a group of them did create Bitcoin. Does it matter? Not in the least, because its Free Open Source Software. The NSA made SELinux in a hope to better secure assets from other agencies, and yet anyone can benefit from that project.

Replacing the US Dollar may be harder to justify for a State entity, but its true that people working there have the passion for it. I wouldn't be surprised, nor care if it was a direct project, or indirect project. Didn't we have Tor from the US Navy? Who else used Tor?, yeah, Satoshi connecting to this forum of his... Same story, FOSS use it if it benefits, check the code if you are paranoid of backdoors.

TL;DR: Who cares. Good for them if they did.

It does matter as to who owns the more than a million coins owned by Satoshi. Whoever is the richest matters especially now that BTC is becoming more accepted even by the countries that don't normally accept it.

BTC will not be created by someone/group who will not benefit from it as well. And if it's created by NSA cryptographers then BTC's existence didn't just happen in a vacuum.

That is their personal assumption and in this matter everyone has their theory and speculation in it. Sometimes when you critically look at it, you might think that USA is involved in the creation of bitcoin because if USA is not involved they would have looked for all means to stop bitcoin. But that is not a concrete information and it is just a mere Speculation of it. The creation of bitcoin has been said by different users. Some said Satoshi Nakamoto is from China, Russian and America and really nobody knows where he comes from because the man himself is decentralized and he used that decentralization to create bitcoin.
