Bitcoin users are in direct competition with each other. A viral superintelligence wouldn't be.

If you thought of that possibility so fast, why do you think a superhuman intelligence would miss it? Or do you think that the problems of job scheduling and parallel processing are unsolvable?

Maybe super intelligence would know that you’d suspect as much and decided to hide in plain sight, knowing it would be suspected but also knowing that humans would just rationalize it as paranoia and dismiss it eventually, letting it do its thing quietly and uninhibited.
