Did NSA invented the Bitcoin?

I came across tweet of Daniel Roberts about, 1996 paper titled: HOW TO MAKE A MINT: THE CRYPTOGRAPHY OF ANONYMOUS ELECTRONIC CASH
Sources include "Tatsuaki Okamoto" 😳 Who else would be able to sit anonymously on 1 million coins? Oh, and they invented SHA-256...? tweet: https://twitter.com/danroberts0101/status/1702440110002729356
It would be big if true. Here's the link: https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/money/nsamint/nsamint.htm

Do a quick search. You'll see it's been discussed many times here and elsewhere. I think there was a post about it about a week ago on SN

With all due respect: where in the webs did You get it from. The same Fud is rolling like waves to the shore and it clearly has cycles and a repeiting scheme. Next will be the good ol' mafia token btc, followed by ''there's no limit of btc if You can split it'' and on and on... at least Biden for sure forgot about his seed phrase. That's something I can guarantee You.

Went down this rabbithole of discussions about the topic on SN, reddit, HackerNews, Twitter and elsewhere. As said by others, there has been recurring discussion around this theme. Found a novel (CRYPTONOMICON) too, which is next in my reading list. Just keeping it here for the reference,

Yawn. I find this post a bit like ‘what’s a cowboy hat and how do I get one?’ The day must end in a ‘y’ if this is showing up.
