Binance Co-Founder CZ Shares Bold Theory: "Satoshi Nakamoto Might Be a Time-Traveling AI"
Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, co-founder of Binance, recently shared a provocative and imaginative theory about the mysterious identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. In an interview with Turkish crypto advocate Erhan Ünal, CZ suggested that Satoshi might not be a human at all—but rather an artificial intelligence from the future.
“I have no idea who Satoshi is,” CZ admitted, “but there are certainly some intriguing theories out there.” One such theory posits that Satoshi could be a highly advanced time-traveling software entity sent from the future with a mission: to lay the groundwork for a decentralized financial system.
CZ noted that while he knows individuals who communicated with Satoshi via email in Bitcoin’s early days, he himself has never interacted with the elusive figure. “No one really knows if Satoshi was a single person or a group,” he said. “But whoever they were, they did an incredible job covering their tracks—no IP traces, no personal identifiers, nothing.”
This extreme level of anonymity is what fuels many of the more speculative theories, including the idea that Satoshi might be a form of artificial intelligence. “It sounds far-fetched,” CZ acknowledged, “but in a world of quantum computing and AI, anything’s possible.”
The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto continues to captivate the crypto world. Whether a genius programmer, a collective of developers, or—as CZ suggests—a futuristic AI, one thing remains certain: Satoshi’s impact on the world is nothing short of revolutionary.
