$BTC Trump Associate's Theory: Bitcoin Actually Created by CIA
Tucker Carlson, a close friend of former US President Donald Trump and former news presenter, claims that Bitcoin (BTC) was created by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). "It's clear the CIA created Bitcoin. They're also on Signal, it's all part of a bigger plan," Carlson said at the Bitcoin 2024 event.
Carlson described crypto users as intelligent individuals who know everything except one thing: the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Despite this, he considers Bitcoin the best technology for building financial sovereignty.
This theory isn't new, as there have been previous suggestions about the CIA's involvement in Bitcoin's creation. Notably, former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell has highlighted blockchain technology's potential in combating crime and supporting intelligence operations ¹ ².
It's worth noting that the CIA's involvement with Bitcoin has been discussed in other contexts. Deputy CIA Director Michael Ellis has stated that Bitcoin is a matter of national security and that the agency works with law enforcement to track BTC transactions ¹.
