Prominent hedge fund manager Kyle Bass has sparked controversy by suggesting that Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, is a Chinese intelligence operation aimed at undermining the US dollar. Bass argues that Bitcoin benefits China, a geopolitical adversary of the US, by helping with their closed capital account. This statement has not been well-received by the Bitcoin community, with some demanding extraordinary evidence for such claims. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unknown, and there have been other theories suggesting that Bitcoin was created by the CIA or as a challenge to the dollar by the Chinese government. It is worth mentioning that China has a history of crypto bans, including the recent ban on mining and trading in 2021.
