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.
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?

Good grief.
