Mysterious nobody "Satoshi Nakamoto" aligns some 1's and 0's in a computer via "blockchain" (or so this highly suspect story goes) A virtual unit of nothing, backed by no one... people randomly decide to adopt internet stranger's made up currency (nothing strange about that), and then a bunch of scumbags psychologically "high-anchor" it on the public:
Not going to lie, you sound like you don't understand a lick of the underlying technology, or the history of cryptocurrency and why bitcoin was groundbreaking when it came out.
It's not even that complicated. Bitcoin is just a secure system of IOUs, with a decentralized ledger. That's it. I think of that scene from dumb and dumber because IOUs are such a silly idea. But bitcoin moves billions per day through such a system.
Was the printing press a psy-op too? What about the telephone? I guess the internet must be a psy-op! All bitcoin did is disrupt the way money is stored and exchanged.
You lost me around bullet four because you're not really addressing my post with this pile of points that gets increasingly more random. Then I started laughing when you said "AI exists" ... You sound like the people who say to "follow the science."
I assure you, AI is not any more real than advanced statistics. Seriously, just like bitcoin it's not overcomplicated and there's no reason to overcomplicate it. Even the most advanced "AI" and machine learning is just statistics (albeit fast statistics) under the covers. There's no ground breaking paradigm shift like there was with technology like the internet, or bitcoin, or the printing press.
But really, you can't just spew a bunch of monologue and platitudes with semi-relared topics and expect me to do anything constructive with it. I don't know what else to tell you except that you sound paranoid about a lot of this stuff and your fear is preventing you from forming a more solid picture and understanding of things. I'm happy to discuss how I disagree that bitcoin is a psy-op, but bringing quantum computers, encryption, and AI into the picture before those topics even come up just makes you look like Charlie in the Pepe Silvia episode.
I'm not sure I understand your angle. All I've done is show a rudimentary understanding of the topic at hand, something your post failed to do. There's no religion to understanding technology.
Sure, Satoshi is peculiar, I'll bet there's something nefarious with the group that actually created the white paper, as if releasing it under a pseudonym protected them from the usual trade laws associated with money.
But come on man. Your rebuttal is that it's a religion? How is this place ever going to take off when that's the level of discussion you want to have?

On the creation story, how can you be so sure it was an agency? Perhaps you are over-estimating their capabilities for creative thought.

Good grief.
