I am half serious, half not serious with this post.
I asked an investment guy the other day what he thought of bitcoin. Thankfully he was of the same opinion as me but he added an interesting comment. With €200bn at stake, if there was a sudden crash, it might actually have a fairly serious macro economic effect. Imagine a €200bn retail bank going completely belly up.
So that and the above CIA remarks got me thinking. Is this all a state sponsored attempt to sabotage our financial system? Why is this Satoshi guy such a mystery? Surely if it was a real person or a real company it couldn't resist taking a bow. Only a state sponsored conspiracy (B/S you are rubbing off on me
) would remain anonymous.
Given various other suspect behaviours the finger starts to point in one direction - Putin's Russia
