 Ask him the hypothetical: "what if the CIA did create it? What changes? Could they put a backdoor in the code that hasn't been discovered in 14 years? Would it still be better money than the USD?"

 Cheers Baz… I think we all agree that the OS software cannot be mucked with… but maybe the coins down the track move…? I know, long term this wouldn’t matter though. 🙏🏻

 I see. 
Well the coins could still move no matter if it was the CIA or someone else...

 It could if someone had the original source code. But it would take a genius to something like that. Besides: they would have to be malicious & uncaring to do that.
