My favorite conspiracy theory about bitcoin.

My favorite conspiracy theory about bitcoin is that Satoshi Nakomoto is an alien.

Now, why an alien and if he is then why would an alien make bitcoin? Those two things go hand in hand and here is my rationale:

There have been many high powered individuals who would be in the know about aliens if they existed and if we(humanity) have been in contact with aliens/seen them. The list of people includes Canadian foreign minister, the director of the Israeli space program, many scientists and generals. Usually the claimants are retired and they seem to always have a version of the same story. The aliens are here, they are not hostile and they want to give us space technology. However they will not do so until we calm the fuck down, establish peace and a global government. So peace and global government.

But why bitcoin? How does bitcoin accomplish the supposed goals of the mysterious peaceful space aliens?

"Money is the sinews of war" -Cicero

There are many examples of war stopping or not starting because one side was simply to poor to pay for it, war is after all a costly business. One notable example is pre-revolutionary France's inability to send an army to help the patriots in the dutch civil war against the Orangists(British) once the Prussians entered the fray on the Orangist side in 1787, this weakened the French regime and contributed to the revolution.(Say that fast five times) Long story short you need money to fight wars and if you don't have it, can't borrow it or steal tax it you are not going to war. There was however discovered a workaround, you can tax through inflation(money printing) and in the great war that is what was done and has been going on since then (or even as early as the American civil war).

Now what does this have to do with bitcoin? Well if you introduce a border-less currency that can't be inflated by fiat then warmongers are shit out of luck and through lack of conflict because of it's great cost and a trusted international monetary system we might move closer to a peaceful global world, paving the way for awesome space alien technology.

Now, what is the likelihood of this being the case? Who the hell knows, still, fun to think about.
