During a recent interview in Turkey, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, one of the founders of Binance, discusses his views on Bitcoin‘s future and speculations surrounding the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
In a recent post, the ex-CEO of Binance hinted at the topics discussed in his latest conversation with Turkish cryptocurrency advocate and Blockchain Games Pow Ahoy creator Erhan Ünal. When queried about the real identity of Bitcoin’s creator, CZ expressed uncertainty but suggested that various intriguing speculations exist within the crypto community.
One idea he brought up was the speculation that Satoshi Nakamoto might actually be a piece of advanced software from the future, sent back in time to create Bitcoin.
In response to your question about who I believe Satoshi Nakamoto could be, I suspect that Satoshi Nakamoto may have been a visionary individual from our future who traveled back in time to give us Bitcoin.

In a recent interview, CZ stated that he believes Satoshi Nakamoto could be a person from the future, not a human from our present or past.
As a crypto investor, I’ve personally never corresponded with the elusive Bitcoin founder. However, I do know some individuals who have engaged in email conversations with him privately.
In the beginning, I’m familiar with individuals who communicated via emails, and the group was quite small, fewer than 10 people. Therefore, I’m not aware of who this person is specifically, but it seems beneficial that we remain unacquainted with him. (Said CZ)
Furthermore, it’s unclear if Satoshi Nakamoto represents a solitary figure or a collective group. CZ noted that the individual (or individuals) behind Satoshi did an excellent job of concealing their identity, as there were never any discernible digital footprints or other solid clues about their identity. As a result, this has fueled numerous intriguing theories about who Satoshi might be.
CZ mentioned that there are other unusual solutions to the question at hand. He suggested they might be a software traveling from the future, or some other possibility. Although it’s hard to picture now, these ideas could potentially be true, but he remains unsure about the individual’s identity.
For quite some time now, there’s been a long-standing argument trying to determine who is behind the alias Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. This controversy reemerged in October 2024 when an HBO documentary entitled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Enigma” promised to reveal the true identity of this elusive figure.
Ultimately, HBO attributed the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, to Peter Todd from Canada, a cryptographer and software developer. Nevertheless, Todd subsequently refuted these allegations and found it necessary to go into seclusion because of security issues.
The future of Bitcoin after Satoshi Nakamoto
In an interview, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao stated that he believes Bitcoin could surpass the value of gold. He reasons that people often draw comparisons between Bitcoin and gold as a means of understanding a novel concept in relation to something they already know.
However, he does not believe gold is an equal match for Bitcoin.
CZ pointed out that humans often don’t rely solely on past experiences to gauge the future. For instance, when evaluating the potential of Tesla, we don’t consider traditional digital cars as a benchmark. Similarly, when predicting Bitcoin’s capabilities, we don’t base our assumptions on gold’s performance.
Bitcoin is destined for a much larger role than gold, I’m certain of this, though the timeline isn’t clear. I’m simply unsure when this transition will occur, but I believe it’s inevitable.
In the most recent development on April 23rd, Bitcoin overtook silver, Amazon, and Google to rank as the fifth largest asset in terms of market capitalization. Moreover, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Investment, anticipates that Bitcoin’s market value could potentially surpass that of gold in the future.
Currently, at the moment of reporting, Bitcoin holds the seventh position in terms of market capitalization, standing at approximately $1.88 trillion. In contrast, gold retains its leading position with a market capitalization of around $22.1 trillion.
