It has long been discussed that Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, may have connections to China. Finally, JAN3 and Pixelmatic CEO Samson Mow shared a remarkable detail on the subject. Mow noted that Satoshi’s name, when written in Chinese characters, resembles the first character of the word “China,” and said, “This cannot be a coincidence.”
The Link Between Bitcoin and Chinese Intelligence
Recently, prominent hedge fund manager Kyle Bass theorized that Satoshi Nakamoto may have been created by the Chinese Intelligence Agency. Bass expanded on this theory, suggesting that Bitcoin may have been created with the intention of undermining the economic leadership of the United States. China’s ban on cryptocurrency ICOs in 2017 and the extension of the mining and trading ban in 2021 have further fueled these theories. In addition, the country has been working on its own cryptocurrency, the digital yuan, for a long time.
Mow said he went to China in 2009 and managed the country's largest Bitcoin exchange at the time. He said he then moved to Blockstream and started working there. Blockstream is a company founded by cryptographer Adam Back, who developed and discussed Bitcoin. Back is believed to be one of the candidates for Satoshi. Mow said he was nicknamed "Adam Back's former colleague" in the HBO documentary Satoshi and shared the joke on social media.
Notable claims made based on Satoshi's name
In his latest social media post, Samson Mow said that Satoshi Nakamoto's name bears a striking resemblance when written in Chinese characters. Mow stressed that this situation cannot be a coincidence and said that the first character of the name is similar to the character of the Chinese word.
This statement has sparked debates about whether Satoshi had any ties to China. Although the identity of Bitcoin’s creator remains largely a mystery, such theories continue to generate interest in the cryptocurrency world. Questions about who Satoshi was and why he created Bitcoin have yet to be definitively answered.
