 Anyone who doubts that Bitcoin was created by the CIA should look at the correspondence between Martti Malmi and Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

 The most you could say here is that the CIA discovered the idea. The community build it out into what it is today. Are you saying the entire bitcoin community contributors are all part of the CIA? 
 What should one find there that confirms or rejects the idea that it was?  
 The more important question is: what difference does it make? 
 I don't see why so many people get spun up in this. Assuming they did, the only thing that changes is that the CIA actually did something good in it's history.
