During a recent interview with Turkish social media influencers, Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, shared intriguing assumptions about the origins of Bitcoin.
Theory on Bitcoin's Creation
Changpeng Zhao suggested that Bitcoin might have been created by an artificial intelligence from the future. "It might be software coming back through time... It's hard to imagine now, but it could be possible," he noted.
Lack of Information About the Creator
Despite his musings, Zhao emphasized that he does not know who the creator of Bitcoin is. "I do not know who he is. So, I've never integrated with them. I know people who have (in early days)... so I don't know who he is," he said.
Candidates for Satoshi Nakamoto
Among the most discussed candidates for Satoshi Nakamoto are the late cypherpunk Hal Finney, American computer scientist Nick Szabo, the late information privacy advocate Len Sassaman, and Blockstream CEO Adam Back. Last year, an HBO documentary identified Canadian Bitcoin developer Peter Todd as Satoshi Nakamoto, but this opinion was widely criticized within the crypto community.
Changpeng Zhao's reflections on the potential future origins of Bitcoin spark interest and raise new questions about its creator, as well as the notorious anonymity surrounding it.
