Former Goldman Sachs Executive Suggests US and UK Governments as Potential Creators of Bitcoin
In a captivating interview with renowned YouTuber Tom Bilyeu, Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision and former Goldman Sachs executive, has put forth a thought-provoking hypothesis about the origins of Bitcoin (BTC). Pal posits that the anonymous inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, may actually represent the collaborative efforts of the United States and the United Kingdom governments.
Pal suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto could have been a collective group of government employees from the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). These individuals, entrusted with the responsibility of exploring innovative solutions to potential threats against the West’s global monetary supremacy, purportedly embarked on creating Bitcoin.
Drawing from his past experiences, Pal discloses a conversation he had with a Department of Defense (DoD) official between 2013 and 2014 regarding such concerns.
“In my discussions with the DoD, they expressed their apprehension about the mounting debt and the fragility of the system,” reveals Pal. “Naturally, these are matters they need to contemplate—what happens if the West loses its grip on currency, debt, and other crucial elements.”
Pal confidently continues, “Well, I proposed the answer lies in Bitcoin. Moreover, I believe the US and UK governments themselves played a role in its inception.” He elucidates that the NSA and the GCHQ, esteemed authorities in the field of cryptography, are the epicenters for such groundbreaking developments.
Remarkably, Pal reveals that his notions were met with acknowledgment from the Department of Defense. “When I broached the subject with them, they replied, ‘Yes, we have indeed contemplated that too.'”
To substantiate his theory, Pal highlights Bitcoin’s emergence during the peak of the 2008 financial crisis and the recurring halving cycles as noteworthy points. “The timing of its release during the financial crisis is far from coincidental,” asserts Pal. “Likewise, the connection to Bitcoin’s halving cycles suggests a deliberate design. Bitcoin has always been the solution—it just can’t be implemented overnight.”
By proposing this intriguing hypothesis, Pal challenges conventional notions surrounding Bitcoin’s enigmatic creator, pushing the boundaries of discourse on its true origins and purpose. As the mystery persists, the question of whether governments hold the key to Bitcoin’s genesis captivates the minds of many.
