Changpeng Jhao, CEO of former Binance, shared an unusual idea of ​​how bitcoin has been created. In a recent interview with Türkiye’s influencers, he jokingly stated that bitcoin was probably not done by a person, but by AI who traveled back to time from the future. He said, “It is coming back through time. It is difficult to imagine now, but it may be possible.” Although he said it lightly, it attracted a lot of attention. Jhao made it clear that he does not know that the real manufacturer of bitcoin – known as Satoshi Nakamoto – is. He said, “I don’t know who he is. I have never interacted with him. I know those who did in the early days … but I do not know who he is.”

Jhao also spoke that he believes that the manufacturers are capable of hiding for so long. He explained that if a group of people had created bitcoins, it would have been very difficult to keep their identity secret. In his opinion, it is more likely that a single person was behind it, making it easier to remain anonymous. He praised how well the producers succeed in covering their tracks and remained a mystery even after so many years.

Over time, many people have been nominated as potential candidates to be Satoshi failure. Some of the often known names include Hal Finni, Nick Sajabo and Lane Sasman, all of which were involved in early work around cryptography and online confidentiality. Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, is also mentioned. However, none of these principles have been proved, and the mystery continues. In 2024, an HBO documentary claimed that the Canadian bitcoin developer, Peter Tod, Satoshi could be, but most people in the Crypto community did not believe the claim.

The idea of ​​Jhao about AI, a time-traveling AI, adds another strange but interesting principle to many stories around the origin of bitcoin. Although this is just a joke, it shows how little we still know who or what bitcoin is made. Even after more than 15 years, Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity remains one of the largest mysteries in the world of technology. As bitcoin becomes more important worldwide, many people are eager about the mind behind it.
