      I just web-searched around and found that the CIA is working on anti-ransomware projects.
      Other than that, one site was speculating about Bitcoin being a CIA project, since it uses a cryptography method designed by the NSA and then we delve back into the cryptography issue again.
      There has been cryptography algorithms that had deliberate weaknesses so the CIA could look into them, but those have been exposed and it’s generally not a good idea anymore since they get found out rather quickly these days.

      Other than that, I did some digging into the Satoshi Nakamoto character and it’s pretty clear that there’s only person that could have made it and he’s clearly not a CIA asset from what I’ve found out about him. He clearly had a good reason to keep his identity as hidden as possible and I just hope he is still doing okay with the current political landscape that we have right now.
