What if Bitcoin was actually created by a Government? (Hear me out)

We still don’t know who really invented Bitcoin. Unlike other crypto projects where founders are known and active, Bitcoin came from “Satoshi Nakamoto”—a pseudonym with no confirmed identity. It’s one of the greatest mysteries in tech history.

But here’s a conspiracy theory I can’t shake: What if Bitcoin was actually created by a government—say, the U.S.—as a long-term strategic play? A silent weapon to absorb global capital, test digital scarcity, or even prepare for a financial reset. What if those dormant coins in Satoshi-era wallets actually belong to a state actor waiting for the perfect time to dump or manipulate the market?

Sounds crazy… or does it?

Would love to hear if anyone else has gone down this rabbit hole. Is it totally tinfoil, or is there something worth considering here?
