Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson recently suggested at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference that the CIA was instrumental in Bitcoin’s creation. This claim sparked immediate debate and skepticism within the cryptocurrency community, with many dismissing it as unsubstantiated speculation. Carlson has a history of making controversial claims without supporting evidence. Crypto experts, including Saifedean Ammous, have characterized his statement as unfounded, pointing to Bitcoin’s transparent software auditing history as evidence against such assertions. Despite the controversy, Bitcoin’s market activity remains relatively stable with no significant reactions in price or trading volumes. Market analysts suggest there are no anticipated regulatory or financial shifts stemming from Carlson’s claims.
