I think that someone at NSA invented Bitcoin to supercharge the development of fast encryption/decryption chips.

New forms of QC-resistant XXXcoins will be developed for similar reasons.

How to leverage NSA's research $$$$$$$$$$$'s.

It seems to have worked!

Recall that "miners" get paid in Bitcoin, but chip developers get paid in real $$$.

Algorithm/SW developers don't need to get paid at all, because they do it for the love of computer science, society and world peace.
