People who think bitcoin is suppose to 'revolutionize' anything and talking about crypto utopia sound like those idiots back in the 90s who were preaching that internet will grant every individual a voice with dignity and freedom to engage in a communal and utopic new world of cyberspace.

How the fuck do you willingly plug yourself into the most pervasive, extensive, and powerful surveillance tool and call yourself 'free'? Apparently there's no one easier to fool then people who are 'too smart' by half.

the fact is in the Ross ulbrich case, NSA needed to send a drive image(ISO) to the UK's GCHQ so that the british secret service could bruteforce the password.

This is an interesting assertion. Do you have a link to a source article?

Let's be serious here, U.S Government employees are everywhere, on this forum, on chatsites, even chaterbate.

With that being said, they know the kind of BS some people spread about them with their conspiracy theories and whatnot. What if Bitcoin, was made by the government? Think about it, if the U.S government just came out and blatantly said that they created Bitcoin, then the public would react violently and start saying that the government is Socialist/Communist and etc etc. It would look bad. But, if the government made Bitcoin in secret under the sudonym, Satoshi, Nakamoto, then they could effectively improve our monetary system behind the scenes and help stop the rampant inflation the USD is facing, without having to face criticism by the complete imbeciles, we call the american public.

Basically, The U.S Government is like Batman. They do the real work in the shadows to not face criticism by ignorant people, and in those shadows, they have created a system for the future, Bitcoin.

You had me till 'improve', albeit the theory may have merit.

I don't think the U.S. government created Bitcoin, which in the future may hurt centralized currency in the world.

I don't think any government created bitcoin, it is a free market currency over the world.

Can't say that they didn't. Conspiracy theories might be there as well behind Bitcoin.Though having many serious drawbacks and negative impacts bitcoin network is still standing still. Of course,the insiders always have a big hand on anything as big as this

It may as well be the former Egyptian government. It doesn't really matter who created it, they have no more control over it than you and me. In the same way that torrent or peer-to-peer networks cannot be taken down. I don't think the public would say it is socialist/communist, they would say 'it wouldn't work'. 
This is very true. Even if the US government did create BTC with "holes" in it, the protocol has been changed many times since it's inceptions and the protocol has been inspected and looked at by many very smart people to check for potential vulnerabilities.

Lack of support for the assertion is noted...

first of all yes they are everywhere, they are probably reading this over right now.

honestly, cany you see what it really is? bitcoin founded the CIA/FBI/NSA. do you see now?

That's correct. and very important to understand. Like an academic work of mathematics, bitcoin has been, and continues to be "peer reviewed" extremely thoroughly. This is why hackers respect and use it.

Remember Aaron Swartz, a 26 year old computer scientist who died defending the free flow of information.

Well, they knew all the gold vaults were empty so they needed a fix.
They made a deal with the chineese that they could get zee gold because they were working on a digital superiour version of it (bitcoin)
They already knew that the world in the west did not care about gold anymore and that it could be replaced by bitcoin because it was invented the day that SHA256 was invented.

It sounds like you might be a spook. Have you checked your badge lately? Haha! Well, anyway, you have a point as to why they can't come right out and say it, but by no means is any government 100% legitimate and for the people. Every government is corrupt and the US government is one of the more corrupt governments out there.

Due to an article that BitcoinTalk didn't like that I wrote on CCN, my account is banned. Theymos refuses to reply to my request for hearing his side of the story instead of banning my account. Please sign my petition to get Theymos to unban my account. Thank you.

I think this is something that also debunks the theory that BTC has some kind/level of "holes" in it that would allow the government to trace the flow of money from person to person in a way that is not possible to the general public.

With the widespread international adoption of bitcoin, tracking of the flow of bitcoin will not benefit any particular government (if they think they can use it to enhance tax revenue).
