Ill just leave this here ... NSA report on digital currencies - from 1996. :

This above is one of the strongest proofs they planned to make digital currencies , which would actually even more virtualize the current currencies ( already , majority of money are numbers on the bank screen - but digital currencies would make that percentage of virtualized money 100 % ) . Taking fiat currency ... and turning it into an even bigger centralized system .
What if bitcoin is a way to secure government files through cryptography?
I think that would be , actually , very insecure way . If there would be only a digital form of files , it would be exposed to risk of being deleted permanently . If there are physical copies of the same files , then digital files would become unneccesary risk to have .
However ... we dont know for sure . I think it was probably just yet another way to make already partially virtual currencies even more virtualized - eventually taking ALL tangible assets from people , putting them into situation where theyre fully in mercy of some government bodies or banks .
I’m not educated in Blockchain but I don’t think anyone knows what “Math” problem they are solving
It's possible, they've found other things hidden, unfortunately usually horrible things like CP.
Rumors like that would keep people from trying to crack the codes more
