Gavin will visit the CIA

[LightRider]

Me: So a little while ago, Gavin said that there was a big announcement coming up in September. Any chance this is it?

Charlie: No, this is not it. What he's announcing is an announcement, not... Well, I don't wanna say any more.

Me: Fair enough, didn't expect you to go on-record with it if you knew.

Charlie: No, he would kill me if I said anything. He was just here recently. He would kill me.

Looks like Gavin's CIA training is beginning to pay off. I wonder just how lethal he is now.

The OP is also a part of The Bitcoin Foundation. A heads up. He did accept $3,000 for reporting about Bitcoin to the CIA.

So what? Sounds like he got paid to speak about a subject on which he is knowledgable. What's the BFD?

It reeks of corruption to me. Satoshi left when Gavin announced this. Satoshi never wanted the establishment involved. Gavin does it anyways. It all makes me very worried for Bitcoin's protocol development.

Satoshi didn't leave, he simply invited Gavin to come visit him at work and meet the team...

Atlas is this you 'internet personality' or are you this twitchy and paranoid in real life?

You remind me of those conspiracy theorists who think the moon is a hologram created by the reptilians to hide their mothership (thousands of people believe this) and other retarded beliefs and who think that concrete proof of their claim is a YouTube video , you ignore posts asking for proof of your accusations so as far as I can tell you can either:

A) Provide proof to back up your claims so people believe you.

B) Design your own currency that fits your ideals.

If you read his other thread, you can see that he has provided proof:

No it is a silly correlation.

Did actor Harry Morgan leave this Earth in 2011 because Gavin was going to speak at the CIA in June 2012?  One event happened before that other, so you never know.... </sarcasm>

Satoshi had backed away from the project in December 2011, only sending a few scattered emails after that before finally disappearing.

He just re-appeared as a founding member in the foundation-gang!

That Linked-in page is *very* interesting.

Anyone can claim that Satoshi is a founding member of a particular organization. We should be sceptical about it until we see a message signed by Satoshi's private key.

yeah these are going to be worse than Elvis sightings before long.

If Satoshi wants to come back, he can do so and it will be easy to know it's him. Until then, no one wake me up for any sightings!

And I don't think any of those goals are incompatible with the goals of government.

The government does not want, under any circumstances, a competing legal tender.
Still sounds interesting though.

No they don't, not within their own borders anyway.  However, the CIA is not supposed to work within the borders of the USA.  So it's entirely plausible that some government agencies very much would like to see a competing legal tender in some other countries.
