Chinese-Canadian educator and Predictive History host Jiang Xueqin has stirred debate after arguing that Bitcoin may have been created by the CIA or a broader US \u201cdeep state,\u201d rather than by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The claim, made on the April 15 episode<\/a> of the Jack Neel Podcast, quickly drew pushback from prominent Bitcoin commentators who said Jiang\u2019s argument rests on a basic misunderstanding of how the network works.<\/p>\n

Was Bitcoin A CIA Project?<\/h2>\n

Jiang, a Beijing-based commentator with 2.3 million YouTube subscribers, framed the theory around what he described as a game-theory process of elimination. He said the standard origin story \u201cmakes no sense,\u201d asking why someone would spend years or even decades developing blockchain technology only to release it to the world for free and then disappear.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo then you have to ask yourself three questions,\u201d Jiang said. \u201cFirst of all is who would have the technology and the expertise to create something like the blockchain. Second of all, you have to ask who would benefit from this blockchain creation. The third question you want to ask is why would they keep it secret?\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Jiang argued that the likely candidates were US intelligence<\/a> and defense agencies, citing the role government-linked institutions played in building foundational internet infrastructure. \u201cProbably the same people who created the internet, probably the same people who created GPS, DARPA, NSA, CIA, probably these guys,\u201d he said. In his telling, blockchain would serve two strategic purposes: surveillance and covert financing.<\/p>\n

He pushed the argument further by suggesting that the network\u2019s value depends on people believing it sits outside political control. \u201cThe answer is only if people believe that this was transparent, open and beyond authority, beyond political control, would it have value,\u201d Jiang said. \u201cSo the moment people recognize that this is a CIA operation, people won\u2019t put their money into blockchain. People won\u2019t put their money into Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jiang also pointed to what he sees as suspicious early adoption, specifically referencing the Winklevoss twins<\/a>\u2019 decision to allocate millions of dollars into Bitcoin when it was still a fringe asset. \u201cThese are not technologists, right?\u201d he said. \u201cHow why would they put millions and millions of dollars into this thing? That\u2019s really strange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Jiang Xueqin claims bitcoin was created by the CIA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would you spend years, possibly decades, in your basement creating a new technology and then just give it for free to the world? That makes no sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Community Reacts<\/h2>\n

The backlash from Bitcoin-focused voices was immediate and blunt. Ansel Lindner dismissed the theory as the product of people who \u201cdon\u2019t understand decentralization<\/a>,\u201d adding \u201cThis is the opinion of so many midwits. It\u2019s also the reason even some gold bugs cannot comprehend bitcoin to this day, and why midwits believe in centralized scam sh*tcoins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyn Alden agreed<\/a>. \u201cAnsel is right,\u201d she wrote. \u201cPeople with this view don\u2019t truly understand the open source aspect or the proof of work aspect fully. A strong point about Bitcoin is that it literally doesn\u2019t matter who created it. It can be assessed on its own merits since it\u2019s transparent and decentralized.\u201d<\/p>\n

That line of rebuttal goes to the core of the dispute. Jiang\u2019s theory hinges on origin and hidden control; but the facts about Bitcoin\u2019s design makes those questions far less important than he suggests, because the network is public, open-source, and maintained by participants rather than by a central operator.<\/p>\n

MDB, another Bitcoin commentator, focused on one of Jiang\u2019s specific questions: \u201cWhere are the servers of Bitcoin located?\u201d He said that question alone showed the core problem and lack of understanding by Xueqin. \u201cBitcoin does not run on one company\u2019s servers,\u201d MDB wrote. \u201cBitcoin runs on a distributed network of nodes spread across the world, which is exactly why it is hard to censor, shut down, or control.\u201d<\/p>\n

At press time, BTC traded at $74,886.<\/p>\n
