Crazy theory about Satoshi

In 16+ years working with NIST approved hardware devices I have NEVER EVER heard of NIST forcing to use a specific p and Q.
Never.

FIPS approved crypto devices exist since 20 years that, among other things like protecting keys and running application code within a security boundary, also make available a true hardware random number generator based on entropy.

I can’t see why NIST would approve such hardware devices that, to my knowledge, having to generate a true random number on demand, have no constraint whatsoever on any algorithm variable, seed or salt.

However, I’ll talk to my certification engineers to know more, promised, so you can sleep easier :)

The reason why NIST would want to push such curves is surveillance and control.

While I agree that the pros use their randomly generated seed, many devs trust NIST and/or are lazy and will blindly use what they've pushed to appear as common modern cryptography in the built-in libraries in IDEs.

So if we assume someone knows the backdoor he could forge transactions or break most security with significantly low computing power just by knowing the "random" number those softwares generate for their cryptography.

I'll wait for your check up with the engineers. Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I stumbled upon a conspiracy theory that Satoshi's original plan was to pull a "Fight club" ending to the Bitcoin.

I know that this theory sounds crazy and there is 99.9% chance this won't happen, but just think about it.

What if Satoshi's original plan was to make Bitcoin more popular asset than gold. After that wait for the rich people to pour in enough money in BTC and shut the whole blockchain down with some hidden switch. This will lead to enormous loss of money worldwide and the world economy may collapse.

What do you think about this crazy theory?

IMO it's not true. If Satoshi had some hidden plans they will probably be dumping his 1M BTC at some point instead of watching the world burn lol :D

Blockchain can't be shut down. Would be a cool theory though if it could.
 
I’ve looked at the code over a 100 times. Doesn’t seem likely, at least not like the early days.
