This video looks at a strange conspiracy theory that suggests Bitcoin was created by the CIA as a way to track citizens around the world. The theory begins with Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Little is known about Nakamoto and many believe he is a pseudonym created by the CIA to cover up their involvement in the creation of Bitcoin.
The theory goes on to suggest that the CIA wanted to create a digital currency that could be used anonymously, but also tracked in order to see what people were doing with their money. To do this, the agency would have had to create a ledger that could keep track of all Bitcoin transactions, but also remain anonymous. This is where the blockchain technology used by Bitcoin comes in.
The blockchain is a publicly visible ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions, which makes it possible to track where Bitcoin is being used. This means that the CIA could track who is using Bitcoin and for what purpose without anyone knowing.
The video concludes by suggesting that the CIA’s involvement in the creation of Bitcoin may explain why it has been so successful. Whether or not this conspiracy theory is true remains to be seen, but it’s an interesting concept to consider.
