 Pardon my ignorance, but is it not true that we still do not know who created BitCoin?  While I am a strong supporter of the underlying principles and objectives behind BitCoin and alternatives like it, until I know who created it, I cannot jump in with both feet.  

Who is to say it was not a CIA play to round up like-minded individuals into a false safe haven only to crush them later when they see fit?  

Again, pardon my ignorance, I just know that digital creators often can and do leave trap doors and secret switches and I retain HIGH SKEPTICISM of everything and everyone who insists on remaining secret...
