Hey all, lately I have noticed a huge inflow of threads that are based on conspiracy theories, such as:

"Is Bitcoin a project by the CIA?"
"Is Bitcoin a project of the NSA?"
"Was Satoshi part of the NSA?"
"Is Mark Karpeles in the CIA?"

etc...

Some of these threads have some substance, and others are outright outlandish...

There are dozens more of these threads and it is getting super repetitive.   Do you guys think it would be advantageous to open a sub-section in Speculation for conspiracies and gossip matters?   It could help "bitcoin discussion" section from being flooded with a bunch of the same threads over and over...

What do you guys think?

Do they?

Nope, just keep on ignoring them. Its the flavor of the month.

What do you guys think?

I personally think people should spend more time reading than posting, because that would result (at least I hope so) in less unneeded posts.


No. The Is Bitcoin an invention of the CIA fud threads will soon die down.

I wonder however if the CIA is an invention of BTC-post might be onto something...

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Any new duplicate threads should probably just be trashcanned. Think half of the people posting them are just trolling or making a joke out of it now anyway.
