Is the bitcoin story believable?

From what I understand this is the story in simple terms:

- someone with online name "satoshi" creates bitcoin and the coding that drops x amount of btc at certain times. there is a finite amount
- catches on in videogames and for dark web purchases
- starts to catch fire with crypto boom and hits 20k... apparently this guy holds 1 million bitcoins so at its peak he was worth 20 BILLION USD
- somehow no one knows who he is... not even any rumours or smoke.


Is it not kinda obvious this wasnt just some guy that created bitcoin? If this were true, his identity would have already come out.

To me it seems very possible bitcoin was created by a government agency..

Thoughts?

Absolutely it was created by some secret operation of some kind. So called Satoshi has never sold a coin from his wallet.

There is the whole bitgold thing. I can't imagine the self control it would take to invent bitcoin and not take a shred of credit for it. Especially when you've got a douche like Craig Wright out there stirring up chit.

This.

He hasn't spent any of his bitcoins since 2009 and has like 1.1 million of them. That's over $11 billion.

NOTHING has huge as bitcoin and has taken hold like it has was just some chance occurance. There is some sort of design behind it. Be certain of that.

I mean the goverment created tore. You dont think that was coded for a way for them to know all on it?

I dont think either are being implemented amd has taken off. From chance or luck.

There is a purpose and objective with each.
