Why in the in the world would the deep state who is obsessed with control create a currency:
1) Individuals maintain sole right to move funds. Power to the people.
2) Verification nodes (miners) have a decentralized Proof-of-work based reward structure. You only get paid based on the value you add to the system.
3) Is open-source. Reviewable/Testable/Modifiable by anyone. Enabling total free-for-all competition. May the best crypto win..
Bitcoin is the antithesis of the state. They have tried MSM Mockinbird style tactics of taking over Reddit / bitcoin.org to censor discourse and stifle Bitcoin scaling development.
But again… Open source makes it easy to just work around any speed bumps the cabal throws at it. All the old school Bitcoin developers just forked over to Bitcoin Cash.
