Tucker Carlson just dropped a hot take at a Turning Point event: he’s not buying Bitcoin because the founder is basically a ghost. “I try to limit myself to things I understand,” he said, and since Satoshi Nakamoto vanished in 2011 and nobody knows who he really is, Carlson’s not touching it—especially when that mysterious founder is sitting on over 1 million BTC worth roughly $120 billion.
His wild theory? “That’s my guess. Can’t prove it”—the CIA. Look, it’s a fair question: who creates a trillion-dollar asset and then just… disappears? Even Bitcoin whales he knows just wave it off as irrelevant, but Carlson isn’t buying the “Satoshi’s identity doesn’t matter” argument.
Here’s the funny part though—he loves what Bitcoin represents. “I don’t care if it was the CIA. It doesn’t matter. The idea is still a great idea,” Carlson admitted. He’s all about the financial privacy angle: “I don’t want what I buy or sell to be tracked. I don’t want my money to be tracked.” He pays his taxes, follows the rules, but wants the autonomy Bitcoin promises.
So basically: Carlson respects Bitcoin’s vision but doesn’t trust its origin story. Classic “love the game, hate the player” energy. Whether you think he’s paranoid or making a valid point, one thing’s clear—the Satoshi mystery is still the biggest elephant in the room for mainstream adoption.
