If it suddenly became evident that #Bitcoin was developed by NSA, it wouldn’t change anything (except maybe for its price for some time). 1. Bitcoin’s code is open and had been thoroughly checked by hundreds of developers for over a decade. 2. All Bitcoin transactional records are transparent. 3. Thousands of individuals run Bitcoin software 24/7 validating each transaction that was ever made. 4. No single entity has the power to alter Bitcoin code or have reasonable effect on its development. P.S. U.S. Department of Defence had a significant role in development of Internet, yet, thanks to its decentralized nature, it works (almost) as intended and benefits billions of people all over the world. With FOSS software creators play little to no role as years pass. [1]:

Bill Gates says there’s a need for an AI censoring people speaking out against vaccination. What we really need is popularization of #Nostr, where digital gulag fans have no power.
