CZ: Satoshi Nakamoto is an AI from the future! Sparking heated discussions in the Bitcoin community
The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has always been the biggest mystery in the cryptocurrency world, and now a new and intriguing explanation has emerged. Just at midnight today (28th), Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated during a live broadcast hosted by Turkish crypto community leader Erhan Ünal that the founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, may be "an AI from the future."
Although CZ's comment seemed more like a light-hearted joke, the statement quickly sparked discussions on the X platform, showing that the community's interest in the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains strong.
The Mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto's Identity
Satoshi Nakamoto is the founder of Bitcoin, who published the Bitcoin white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" in October 2008, proposing the concept of decentralized digital currency, and officially launched the Bitcoin network in January 2009, mining the genesis block.
However, after his last public post on the internet in December 2010, he vanished without a trace, and the 1.1 million Bitcoins (currently valued at over $100 billion) left in his wallet have never been moved.
Over the years, countless speculations have arisen about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity:
In 2014, Newsweek claimed that Japanese-American Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto was the person, but he quickly denied it.
In 2015, Wired and Gizmodo reported that Australian scholar Craig Wright and Dave Kleiman might be Satoshi Nakamoto, but this was later disproven.
Other candidates have included cryptographers Nick Szabo and Hal Finney, and even Elon Musk has been suspected, but there is no conclusive evidence for any of them.
Nevertheless, the fact that Satoshi Nakamoto's identity has remained undisclosed for years underscores the decentralized ethos of Bitcoin; his legacy is not just technological innovation, but a financial revolution that has impacted global financial development.
