I didn't get my take on crypto from CNN. And since you apparently have the book, cite me the passage. I'm more than willing to admit I was wrong, unlike most people on the internet.

My opinion is that Crypto is in the process of being co-opted, but was not originally created by central governments. For starters, they ignored it, then fought against it, and now are seeking to use it to their own advantage. If they created it, you wouldn't have seen that evolution.
