No, the Vice article fully supports what I’m saying for that point. Look who is quoted:
CIA Director William Burns said on Monday that the intelligence agency has “a number of different projects focused on cryptocurrency” on the go.
“This is something I inherited. My predecessor had started this, but had set in motion a number of different projects focused on cryptocurrency and trying to look at second- and third-order consequences as well and helping with our colleagues in other parts of the U.S. government to provide solid intelligence on what we’re seeing as well.”
As I stated, the CIA is fully involved in crypto. The other article is the one that explains why people think Satoshi is CIA.
In cash, but it was always risky. Couriers get intercepted, etc.
That said, I don’t think BTC is the best for CIA. It’s publicly traceable and that’s always been known. Of course if they have untraceable bank accounts and used those to buy the BTC, then it’s not particularly relevant. The spies can use their own tactics to hide their income.
Spies are buying vehicles, drugs, guns. They can’t carry that much cash today and large amounts must be declared at customs and can be seized via asset forfeiture laws and the person investigated as a spy. The entire point is to not be detected by the government or banks.
So no, not cash so much these days.
You can easily make new accounts and scramble crypto accounts and funds.
BTC is good for spies bc it has low volatility and can blend in with normal citizens who trade it bc it is so well known. They don’t need a bank account in the country they are spying in for it, they just transfer the BTC instead of giving cash. That’s the point, no bank account.

That’s literally what’s being discussed lol, those specific tactics.

How do you think spies get money?
how do you think spies got money before bitcoin first launched…?

You’re so close dude.
I’m playing chess with a pigeon. Strut around buddy, eat some corn.
When your response is so obviously canned (and arguably forced) it really takes a lot of the sting out of it lol

Mine was better
Feel free to have the last word, I’m sure it’s very important to you. Either way I won’t be reading or responding to it.
