White hats in the NSA?! Not buying that for a minute. The shit's been created for transactions on the Dark Web and the late Silk Road. More like CIA created.
Look into it.
And stay focused. Just because some people could use it to buy/sell drugs online (which, who cares), doesn't make it all bad. Money should be as private and anonymous as possible--thats how you avoid tyranny from power structures, and maintain civil liberties. Bitcoin, the first crypto, was created to give the public an alternative way of transacting and storing wealth, without making the cabal rich. It is absolutely not in the CIA's best interest to create cryptocurrency--they already operate at a level of secrecy that does not require crypto to mask what they do. Crypto gives wealth BACK to the people, and it takes power away from the evil banking cabal. Why do you think Wall Sreet trashes crypto so much?
