That's almost as good as the hypothetical game big (insert your boogeyman here) might be playing with Putin to make him think Bitcoin is a NSA/CIA operation to ruin the ruble.

A person of my acquaintance who is a first wave negotiator in international affairs (first wave meaning the deniable precursor labor that occurs before the image-sensitive political class gets visibly involved) recounted how, in discussions in Beijing, this person's counterpart from the "other" side said that it was the assumption in Beijing that Twitter was an American operation constructed to destabilize Iran. This was three years ago. --dan
