My hypothesis is that bitcoin was invented by a contractor at the CIA/NSA/etc. Tons of security/crypto nerds who are strongly discouraged from doing outside projects, and often too much spare time. Also explains why the $55 billion in bitcoins is sitting there: their contracts forbid them from outside projects, and their employers are allowed to keep any proceeds from illicit projects. I’m sure B. Allen would love $55bil in bitcoin. I mean if you look at the skill set necessary to the create bitcoin, and who possesss that skill set, the US intelligence establishment seems like a good candidate.
