 I would love to be very wrong about him. But actions are louder than words, ya know 
 The fact that he was shot and not killed tells me not everything is a forgone conclusion.

 Why would the Deep State kill Bitcoin if they created it? (I've heard from various sources it was created by the NSA, and I wouldn't put the CIA above using Bitcoin to fund their dirty deeds. I'm not saying it was definitely created by the Deep State, but I'm not so dogmatic to assert that it wasn't, without evidence).
