Is Cryptocurrency the Ultimate Scam Against Humanity?
By Peter J. Merrick, TEP® and Adrian C. Spitters, CFP®, co-authors of the international bestseller It Starts With Gold™ and the forthcoming book Guns, Gold & Land™
This analysis continues a series of long-form investigations published in The Merrick Spitters Reset Report™
What if cryptocurrency is not liberating us but enslaving us? What if Bitcoin was never about freedom, but about conditioning humanity for something far worse?
The internet did not begin as a tool of liberation. It was created by the U.S. military. Originally called ARPANET, it was developed by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Its purpose was control and command, not communication and community. From the very beginning, surveillance was embedded. The NSA, the National Security Agency, quietly moved in and built out the ultimate digital net.
In It Starts With Gold, Peter J. Merrick and Adrian C. Spitters explain how this same agency gave the world SHA-256, the cryptographic algorithm that secures every major cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin. This fact alone should raise alarm bells. Why would the NSA release encryption it could not crack? The book makes this clear. The system is only as secure as its architects allow it to be.
Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor turned whistleblower, proved that the NSA does not play fair. He risked everything to show that Americans and much of the world were being watched without consent. Emails, calls, messages, even financial transactions were collected through programs like PRISM. The illusion of digital privacy shattered. It Starts With Gold ties Snowden’s revelations directly to the core weakness in cryptocurrency. If the NSA spies on ordinary people, why would it give the world a financial system it could not control?
Bitcoin was created by an anonymous figure known only as Satoshi Nakamoto. He, or they, released a nine-page whitepaper, answered a few questions online, then disappeared. As of the writing of this article, over 3 trillion dollars have flowed into cryptocurrency, into a system the creators built on anonymity, secured it with NSA algorithms, and ran it on a digital infrastructure originally designed for surveillance. In It Starts With Gold, the authors ask the question few dare to voice:
“Why are trillions of dollars in cryptos built on anonymous authorship and government encryption? What happens when the system fails? And is there a backdoor waiting to be activated?”
The book explains how the system is fragile by design. When a failure comes, it will not be accidental. It will be the triggering event in a long-planned chain reaction. The authors walk the reader through how this moment follows the Hegelian Dialectic of Problem, Reaction, Solution.
Problem: Release a so-called decentralized digital currency built on state-created encryption and anonymous authorship. Reaction: Allow the system to grow, become unstable, and eventually collapse—whether through a quantum hack, coordinated takedown, or engineered panic. Solution: Introduce Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as the safe, regulated alternative.
It Starts With Gold does not speculate for entertainment. It reveals facts. CBDCs are programmable. Every transaction can be tracked, approved, denied, or reversed. Privacy is eliminated. Freedom is conditional. The book warns that this is the final step in a process that has been underway for decades. The end goal was never freedom. It was complete control.
Quantum computers like Google’s Willow chip are proving the vulnerability. Willow performed calculations fifteen septillion times faster than earlier systems. A septillion is a trillion trillion. This kind of power can go through SHA-256 like a hot knife through butter. It Starts With Gold makes it clear. When this power is unleashed, it will render today’s cryptos obsolete and unsecured.
