The mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin, continues to fascinate. In a recent interview with Turkish influencers, Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, proposed a hypothesis that is at least unexpected: Satoshi Nakamoto could be… an AI (artificial intelligence) from the future.
In summary
Changpeng Zhao mentions the idea of an artificial intelligence behind the persona of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains a mystery, despite numerous theories.
Fifteen years later, bitcoin continues to fuel speculation and fascination in the crypto universe.
Satoshi Nakamoto could be an AI from the future! » It could be software that came back to the past… It's hard to imagine today, but it's possible, " joked Changpeng Zhao. However, this idea, as crazy as it may seem, is part of the long list of theories aimed at explaining the identity of the mysterious inventor of bitcoin.
The former head of Binance clarified, however, that he never knew who was behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. » I don’t know who it is. I have never met him. I know people who interacted with him in the early days of bitcoin… but I have never had that privilege, " he confessed.
So, AI or not AI, my «mercotte»? The idea that Satoshi Nakamoto is an artificial intelligence remains highly speculative. The early exchanges of the creator of bitcoin reveal a deep understanding of human dynamics, code, and economics. What seems more coherent with an individual or a small group of experts than with an AI, especially in 2008-2009.
A solitary genius or an ultra-discreet team? According to Changpeng Zhao, if Satoshi Nakamoto were a group of people, it would have been extremely difficult to maintain anonymity for so long. On the other hand, if it is a unique individual, "he has erased his tracks incredibly," he points out.
Among the often-mentioned candidates are Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Len Sassaman, or even Adam Back. In 2024, an HBO documentary even pointed to Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto, but this theory was widely rejected by the crypto community. One thing is certain: fifteen years after the creation of bitcoin, the mystery remains intact — and continues to fuel all speculations, even the most futuristic.
As the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto thickens, even the craziest theories gain ground. By mentioning an AI from the future, Changpeng Zhao recalls a truth: bitcoin is not just a financial revolution, it is also one of the greatest puzzles of our time.
