 If true, NSA is more likely for bitcoin at least.  CIA just directs NSA to use their tech tools.  The NSA is where the black-box magic happens these days.

 There is nothing wrong with the CIA being the inventor of Bitcoin. 

GPS, Internet, Tor and encryption are military technologies

They are apolitical technologies that all will enjoy no matter what side you are on.

And all must be used to also protect sovereignty and defeat evil in this world.

 I never said there was anything wrong with it, just that the NSA is much more capable 😉
