Think about it. They want a digital currency that they can surveil. They know nobody will accept CBDCs. So they create bitcoin, release it anonymously, help bootstrap it by pretending to fight it leading people to assume it must be worth having if they don’t like it, and then they just manage the privacy solutions of it. Just like the internet. Some people use VPN but most people don’t and in aggregate the data they get from the internet is worth the cost of empowering a small minority of privacy loving folks
