Did the CIA create Bitcoin and whether it actually matters
This one turned out to be my best article to date.
TL;DR
Whether “CIA made Bitcoin” is the wrong question. The right question is: who operates the knobs? Revealed preference says the Controllers prefer containment, not bans: paperize the upside, surveil the edges, tax the flows, and keep the “freedom” brand alive as a pressure valve. You don’t need origin to win the game — you need the perimeters.
