I’m happy someone pointed out that the NSA has the resources and ability and incentives to create and control crypto currencies. Similar to how they cracked German and Japanese codes during WWII, when the big fiscal crisis begins, I predict the shoe will drop.
- bell-cot 3y agoNot an expert, but... The WWII German codes were mostly broken by the British GC&CS at Bletchley Park. While breaking the Japanese codes was the US Navy's signals intelligence folks (with quite a bit of foreign help). Vs. the NSA was only created in the 1950's, out of the SIS - which was very closely associated with the US Army.
- pestatije 3y agocontrary to general belief, enigma was cracked by the poles
- bell-cot 3y agoYeah, mostly true - though there are also French and various other fingers in the pie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine#Breaking_Enigma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine#Breaking_Enigma (But in any case, it for-sure seems not to have been the NSA, nor any predecessor agency.)
