This Professor Claims Bitcoin is Actually Created by the US Government, Is it True?

Cornell University professor Dave Collum made a controversial statement during an interview on The Tucker Carlson Show. He stated that Bitcoin (BTC) was possibly created by the United States Government (US).
According to him, the authorities will not allow decentralized crypto digital assets (DeFi) to fully dominate the financial system.
"Do you think Rockefeller and Rothschild would willingly hand over control to Max Keiser or Michael Saylor? In my opinion, that's impossible," he said.
He also mentioned the fact that the initial paper on cryptography was written by three researchers from the NSA.
"If I were the smart one and wanted to introduce central bank digital currency, then the best way is to release crypto first, let the public get used to it, and then take control," he said.
Collum argues that such strategies acclimate the public to digital transaction systems. Thus, society is unconsciously prepared to accept a new concept that could potentially become a tool of authoritarian control in the future.
