Max Keiser, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, has dismissed the conspiracy theory that the CIA was behind the creation of Bitcoin. Keiser highlighted Bitcoin's open-source nature and the distinct writing style of its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, as evidence against the claim. He also referenced a conversation with Grok to bolster his argument. Despite Keiser's refutation, American political commentator Tucker Carlson continues to promote the theory, citing distrust of centralized power and government secrecy. Additionally, crypto enthusiast Richard Heart noted that Bitcoin's use of the secp256k1 elliptic curve, which diverges from U.S. standards, further challenges the notion of CIA involvement.
