RE: Did the CIA invent Bitcoin?
Are you sure they are trying to ban it? The latest news from America is that the SEC and the regulators are discussing taxing bitcoin or at least regulating it as a security. In some states of America you can pay taxes in crypto apparently, though I will have to look for a reference for that.
I hate taxes. One way to ban something is to tax it in order to get people to ban it themselves simply by not using the stuff. Notice how many countries try to regulate and even stop cryptocurrencies. Regulation is a step towards prohibition, historically, which they did with gold, beer, drugs, swear words, etc.
