its possible that bitcoin is an NSA project. If you trust in the code, then you must certainly trust the coder. the coder must be of sufficient quality that 10000s of people certify it.

but i would wonder, since computer science at the level of coding cryptography is so hi level only grad students can really understand it, whether 10000s of people have the ability to confirm the openness of the code & the veracity of the algo.

I know the NSA can write it, & maybe a handful of security people. why does the creator choose to be anonymous. thats a fun place to speculate. a benevolent inventor would certainly not hide his identity at creating a market bending innovation. So why would such an innovator stay in the dark.

but you keep believing in the integrity of a program with unknown creators, writing code only grad students can follow, because 10000s of others says its legit. just like 10000s of others handed their cash to bernie madoff.

come on man, dont be so mad. its only words.
