impervious to attempts to control it by the government or anyone else. People who talk about the CIA etc. shutting it down are blathering nonsense and don’t understand how it works.

The actual name of the original developer of bitcoin is still being kept secret. If anything reeks of a scam, or trojan horse, it’s something that would keep that secret, to avoid all liability, and all knowledge of who is actually behind it.

[EnderWiggin1970]

Oh nonsense. Bitcoin is open source, so the identity of the developer is completely irrelevant. Just review the code yourself like thousands of other people if you think there are any backdoors in it. There are not.

“ People who talk about the CIA etc. shutting it down are blathering nonsense”

People who think the CIA is a reputable organization that plays by the rules is an idiot. The CIA kills people wholesale, destabilizes governments, runs coups, and supplies weapons to our enemies foreign and domestic, taking your BC or perhaps killing you thus preventing you from using your BC is completely is the realm of possibility. BC is a scam, heck paper money is a scam too, pick yer poison.
