We're literally talking about a country where computer-savvy people cannot even photoshop a picture.
I don't buy it that this country has the world's top hackers (no matter how often that it repeated by mainstream media) and I don't buy it that NK is thriving thanks to Bitcoin.
What I do believe though is that North Korea is the ultimate boogeyman.

- makeitshine 3y agoThat's pretty opposite of what most dictatorships do, though, right? Usually they want to seem to be more than they are. If it's originating from N. Korea it could be Chinese organized crime working through the country or it could be someone else entirely. It could be the CIA recouping loses from pot sales after legalization.
- Larrikin 3y agoNorth Korea is a country that regularly test ICBM and nuclear bombs. But because of a crappy Photoshop those media reports are also fake? How many of the best hackers are also great at using Photoshop? Maybe kids in North Korea don't get to just dick around on the computer growing up and have their skills directed.
