Magic Internet Money - Bitcoin

 Bitcoin is nothing more than a global pyramid scheme dressed up as revolutionary money. You don’t use it - you sell it to the next believer. Unlike gold or silver, which have real-world applications in electronics, medicine, and jewelry, Bitcoin produces nothing, builds nothing, and serves no practical purpose beyond speculation.

 It’s not a currency either; it’s “Internet Magic Money” for the perpetually gullible who are hooked on 7-second soundbites. Traditional banks and credit unions operate under strict government and industry oversight for a reason, and that reason is your security.

 Crypto exchanges? Many were built with hidden lines of code that allowed founders to siphon billions in customer funds without anyone noticing - pure, algorithmic theft. FTX was only the most spectacular example.

 Then there’s the technology itself. The core encryption algorithm powering Bitcoin, SHA-256, was designed by the NSA and published through the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The sheer complexity of the protocol and the resources required to launch it at exactly the right historical moment have always raised eyebrows.

 Bitcoin’s meteoric rise wasn’t organic - it drowned out every other early cryptocurrency (Namecoin, Litecoin, etc.) almost overnight. That kind of spotlight doesn’t just “happen.” And the intelligence fingerprints go deeper.

 In April 2011, just as Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto vanished from the scene without a trace, lead developer Gavin Andresen was invited to CIA headquarters for a presentation on the tech at an emerging technologies conference.

 Andresen, who’d been handed the reins by Satoshi months earlier, pocketed a $3,000 honorarium and even sold a Bitcoin (then worth about $15 maybe) to a spook in the audience. Coincidence? Or did the shadows close in too tightly?

 The timing fueled endless internet forum wars and theories - that Satoshi bolted to evade Uncle Sam’s gaze, leaving his baby in Andresen’s hands. Either way, it adds fuel to the fire: Bitcoin wasn’t just born in the cypherpunk underground; it was courted by the deep state from day one. And now the mask is fully off.

 In 2025, CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis went on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast and openly described Bitcoin as “another tool in the toolbox” for U.S. intelligence and national security. Translation: your revolutionary freedom money is a surveillance and disruption asset for the most powerful spy agency on Earth. So tell me again how this ends with anything other than the house winning and the last bagholders discovering they’ve been funding the shadows all along. Magic internet money indeed...
