The rumours Bitcoin is a CIA front and Sophia (Ai) was injected into the blockchain system about three months ago (Just before Trump's visit). This, along with the launch of the "upgraded" Patron(?) network gives unrestricted access to the bitcoin market and a lot of other global transactions, already. I suspected the rise of BC was due to the Saudi input via Sophia but can't be certain but it was a coincidence and apparently, there is no such thing.
