    The planet money piece is very long so I’ll have to check it out later, but the Vice article says nothing of the sort and actually spends time mocking people and saying it’s a conspiracy. So I’m not really sure how that at all supports what you’re saying. It just says CIA is interested in and involved in crypto, which makes sense given how it’s used. It does not say anything at all like what you claimed

    BTC was invented and supported so spies could move money across borders without being caught by official government bodies/banks.

      No, the Vice article fully supports what I’m saying for that point. Look who is quoted:

      CIA Director William Burns said on Monday that the intelligence agency has “a number of different projects focused on cryptocurrency” on the go.

      “This is something I inherited. My predecessor had started this, but had set in motion a number of different projects focused on cryptocurrency and trying to look at second- and third-order consequences as well and helping with our colleagues in other parts of the U.S. government to provide solid intelligence on what we’re seeing as well.”

      As I stated, the CIA is fully involved in crypto. The other article is the one that explains why people think Satoshi is CIA.

      How do you think spies get money?
