With each year, I think more and more that the whole bitcoin thingy was devised as an elaborate scheme to prop hash bruteforcing research.

Another crazy thing that pops in mind now is now long forgotten rumor that Chiang is Satoshi.

There's no results on Google for Satoshi Nakamoto Chiang?

What's the rumor?

That Morris Chang and co. came with bitcoin thingy to prop their sales knowing that if btc takes off, they are guaranteed to get orders for hash crunching machinery
