I don't think the CIA created Bitcoin. Judging by the Satoshi's GMX email address and software coding style of the early software, I believe it was a German who grew up in Germany. Absolutely NO-ONE outside of Germany uses GMX.

Interesting! I haven't heard about this. But somewhat fits the narrative of him being a UK citizen, e.g. time zone, British english

But wouldn't someone as anonymous as Satoshi use the fact that nobody but Germans use GMX, as a way of throwing people off?
