In a Turkish interview, Binance co-founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao talks about the future of Bitcoin and his thoughts on Satoshi Nakamoto’s possible identity.
In a recent post, the former CEO of Binance teased the content of his latest interview with Turkish crypto advocate and blockchain game Pow Ahoy founder Erhan Ünal. When asked what the Bitcoin btc1.01%Bitcoin creator’s true identity could be, CZ said he has no idea, but posits that there are strange theories floating around the crypto space. One theory that he mentioned was the possibility that Satoshi Nakamoto could be a time-travelling software that has returned to the past to invent Bitcoin.
“Satoshi Nakamoto was an AI from the future. I was just asked “who I think Satoshi might be” in a live (still on-going) interview from Turkey,” wrote CZ in his post. In his interview with Ünal and Uygar Taze, CZ stated that he has never had any interactions with the mysterious Bitcoin founder. Though, he admitted to knowing people who have had email exchanges with him. “I know people who have, in the early days. They had email exchanges, there’s maybe less than 10 people. So I don’t know who he is, but I think it’s good that we don’t [know who he is],” said CZ.
Moreover, he is uncertain whether Satoshi Nakamoto is a single individual or a group of people. CZ acknowledged that whoever is behind Satoshi “covered his tracks really well,” since there were never any traces of an IP address or other definite indicators of who it could be. Hence, leading to the creation of more outlandish theories about Satoshi. “There are other sort of stranger answers. Where they might be a software coming back through time, all of these possibilities. It’s hard to imagine now but could be possible. But regardless, I don’t know who he is,” said CZ.
