This reminds me of a theory I heard of that Bitcoin was created to secretly try and crowd-source the breaking of seemingly impossible encryption protocols (encrypted files not meant for anyone other than the intended recipient). I wonder if such a theory is actually plausible though considering the client is open source, what if the block chains people are mining are actually encrypted files and the government are using people as bot-nets for breaking encryption? This is one reason I would suspect the government of creating Bitcoin.
