🚨 BREAKING:
Changpeng Zhao (CZ) SAYS HE BELIEVES Satoshi Nakamoto MAY HAVE BEEN AN AI SENT FROM THE FUTURE.
A BOLD THEORY THAT BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE FICTION.
This is a fun, speculative theory (leaning heavily into science fiction) that Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, floated during a live interview in Turkey back in April 2025.
CZ himself posted about it on X (formerly Twitter) on April 27, 2025:
“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. I tweet during meetings all the time. 😆”
He later elaborated in the interview that it could be “software coming back through time,” calling it one of the “stranger” possible answers to the long-standing mystery of Satoshi’s identity. Importantly, CZ also clarified that he doesn’t actually know who Satoshi is — he only knows a few people who had early email exchanges with Satoshi (fewer than 10 people), and he thinks it’s good that the identity remains unknown.
