Great thoughts. I appreciate the fresh take.
I have to say the intel community stuff is kind of a red herring. Suppose it was created by the CIA. What exactly would that change? IMO not much. Even your statement about them not wanting to kill it cuz they made it isn’t true. There are warring factions all the time. Spend ten mins in DC at a bar or watch Burn After Reading and you will realize how many factions and laughable human clumsy ambition is at play.

If it was created by the government, it was created to serve a specific purpose. It wouldn't change what Bitcoin is, nor does it guarantee that they're never going to want to kill it.
I mentioned this more in relation to Bitcoin being marketed as this mythical, anti-establishment technology that governments are so afraid of, which it is clearly not.
Jeff Booth presented it as governments trying to kill it because it threatens them so much.
I mentioned they are unlikely to kill it because there are more adversarial alternatives available, and it serves as a useful decoy (which is what its likely purpose was).
This of course doesn't guarantee that they're never going to want to kill it.
Still, Bitcoin has been a massive net positive for the Controllers and a massive net negative for the freedom money movement.
I am sure there are many warring factions at the lower levels, doesn't seem like it at the highest levels though.
