Co-Founder of Binance, CZ, Shares Bold Theory: "Satoshi Nakamoto Could 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 cryptocurrency advocate Erhan Ünal, CZ suggested that Satoshi may not be human 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 of these theories posits that Satoshi could be a highly advanced software entity and time traveler 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 the early days of Bitcoin, 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 of 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 may be a form of artificial intelligence. “It seems exaggerated,” CZ acknowledged, “but in a world of quantum computing and AI, anything is possible.”
The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto continues to captivate the cryptocurrency 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.
