CIA Activity in the Bitcoin Ecosystem

[FM-2030]

There have been some signs that US Federal sees Bitcoin as a problem. When the US and its supporters have a problem, they usually call upon the CIA. The CIA has destroyed several organizations, groups and economies (foreign and domestic) internally through manipulation of key members, suppliers and so forth.

Have you suspected any CIA activity directly or indirectly in Bitcoin-related affairs?

[Vladimir]

It seems that US Federal sees Bittorent as a problem as well. How are they doing with destroying that?

CIA: Hey, Vladimir, here is a suitcase full of cash, do your damnest to destroy Bitcoin.
Vladimir: OK, cool. It's a deal, I'll troll on bitcointalk much harder from now on.

It would be fun, seeing them attempting to destroy bitcoin.

Especially since there are no key members, suppliers and so forth.

Bitcoin is just technological advancement waiting to happen. Can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Sorry mister CIA government banker, you lose.

Nope.

So you've got the suitcase as Atlas did? I'm applying for one too after I manage to eradicate Atlas first. *adds Vladimir to the list*

Back on topic, no. They'll be targeting SR directly (and having a heck of a headache in this case) , and not the legitimate users of this technology.

And then you have companies like Intersango openly inviting Big Brother to regulate Bitcoins.

[Graet]

And then you have companies like Intersango openly inviting Big Brother to regulate Bitcoins.

and then you have the people that think because Bitcoin is semi anonymous companies on the fiat/Bitcoin interface (exchanges) can some how avoid following the regulations of the country they operate in related to fiat monies....

face the facts keep it in Bitcoins or prepare to deal with legislation, nearly all countries now have AML/KYC type legislation
I know you don't care if people operating exchanges go to jail to protect your anonymity - just curious as why you would think they would want to... afaik it isn't a very profitable enterprise

[pompeii]

I wonder how much damage they could do by buying large amounts of coins and then selling them off in an attempt to create and pop bubbles.

In that scenario, most of that damage would be to their own money reserves

What are you talking about?

ask zhou tong if holding other peoples deposits of  BTC and cash is a profitable enterprise or not

[barbarousrelic]

The Bitcoin economy is currently a tiny fraction of the smallest thing the CIA would bother their time with.

[Bitcoin Oz]

And then you have companies like Intersango openly inviting Big Brother to regulate Bitcoins.

And yet they strangely still havent reported the bitcoinica theft to the authorities....

[cryptoanarchist]

Of course the CIA/Freemasons are here. They are some of the key players.

Clearly this is the CIA probing to ascertain whether their infiltration has yet been detected/suspected.

You've got to remember that bitcoin is small-fry.

If it wasn't, it would be an absolutely trivial matter for a US governmental agency to use a 51% attack or something similar to bring down the network. They have some of the brightest minds in coding, and a eleven-figure budgets, we wouldn't stand a chance.
