Famous political speaker Tucker Carlson has a lot of respect for Bitcoin, and is apparently very confident about the identity of its creator.

During a private event on Friday held at Bitcoin 2024, the former Fox News host spoke at length about why crypto is the world’s best tool for enabling financial sovereignty—even though it was invented by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

“Obviously it was the CIA, we all know that,” said Carlson with a laugh. “It’s like Signal, they got there first. It’s a honeytrap!”

According to Carlson, crypto enthusiasts are highly intellectual and can seemingly answer any question besides those relating to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. “Somebody should answer that,” he said. “I think we know.”

What Happened: During a private event at the recently concluded Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Carlson poked fun at cryptocurrency maximalists for not knowing the real identity of the pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

“These are not shallow people. These are people who can answer every single question except who was Satoshi Nakamoto,” Carlson said in a tongue-in-cheek remark.

“Obviously it was the CIA. I think we all know that,” the conservative media personality said in a light-hearted way, drawing chuckles from the audience. “It’s like Signal, they got there first. It’s honey trap.”

For the curious, Carlson’s Signal reference is based on his claims that the National Security Agency spied on him through the chats on the “encrypted” messaging app.
