 Believing the CIA invented bitcoin is coverted statism. It’s ‘muh roads’ all over again.

 Plus, I think bitcoin is harder to grasp for people who lack systemic thinking capabilities. Emergence seems alien to them. 

Maybe the main driver of statism, socialism, centralism or however one calls it. 

The question “how can there be something from nothing?” haunts these people. So it must be the CIA.
