All the code that drives the math behind the network has been open source for 15 years and reviewed by who knows how many experts far more qualified than I to find any holes in it. The network has been running for very very nearly all of that time and the security of your tokens and your payments to move those tokens proven many millions of times. Also the security of the hash rate should be clear metric.
Based on all that, and plenty more that could be listed, does it matter that it was a gift from the NSA? What could they do now if they wanted to?
