I have a pretty good idea who 'they' are.
One of them is actually called Satoshi Nakamoto, but he's moved on now.
Oooh cryptic.....
I mean why say anything at all if all you are saying in nothing at all?

Interesting piece of history of Bitcoin chr0naut - So if you insist we again descend from my sci-fi universe to Human reality
- Bitcoin aficionados consider this:
"Chips no longer good as cash"
By Liz Benston
"............The harsh lesson he learned is that this isn't old Vegas, where casino chips were the coin of the realm, used to settle debts between friends, buy groceries and pay for haircuts. That culture started to change 20 years ago when Nevada defined tokens as the property of individual casinos and prohibited their use "for any monetary purpose" outside the casino. They were simply intended as stand-ins for cash, loaned to players for the sole purpose of gambling.
The regulation was adopted to bring state law in line with federal rules prohibiting the creation of new currencies............

"Federal rules prohibiting the creation of new currencies" ?!?!?!
Isn't Bitcoin supposed to ba a stand alone currency ??? - Is that legal ???
And if legal today what is to stop the US Government, any and all governments from enforcing and if need be passing,
new rules and regulations outlawing their use as currency ???
That Bitcoin worth thousands of dollars today could suddenly take a dump and become almost worthless !!!

"Yes, Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies, are usually illegal."
- Now if that is true how would you explain the fact that it is being used and accepted by more and more businesses - And that investment shares in it are now being sold on legitimate markets ?

Legal tender From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Use does not really change the legal status.
