⚡️🎙️ NEW - Tucker Carlson says he’s a hard "NO" on Bitcoin, claiming it was created by the CIA and calling himself “a gold person.”
“I fear it’ll become a scam run by financial elites and politicians to tighten control over society… Nobody can tell me who Satoshi is. I grew up in a CIA family.”

He made those remarks around late July or early August 2024
I was wrong the clip is from 10/21/2025. My apologies.
As often as I have heard Tucker not connect obvious dots including between guests he himself has sat down with, i would expect nothing less than exactly this sort of low information take. I'm not knocking gold, but of course that's what he's afraid of.
That's exactly a person grown up in a CIA family would say.
He’s right
Didn't he have Saylor who explained btc to him?
The current dollar based system, with central banks and regulated financial institutions that can be compelled to cooperate with authorities, is far more aligned with what Tucker suggests intelligence agencies would want.
Allright, im selling everything
Its over
“I love the idea of the blockchain… and I knew some of the people involved in that whole thing.”
It's a fair take... He admits he does not understand it. Let the man hold his shiny rocks in peace.

I don’t agree with him but I see his point
this feels like the gaslightning for 'climate reasons' on the left
and will probably actually put a big chunk of people off bitcoin for a number of years
I love Tucker but he’s technically illiterate. He’s also not spoken to any hardcore bitcoiners that can actually explain it to him. It’s always shitcoiners or Roger Ver.
The good news is, he’s intellectually honest and willing to admit when he’s wrong. One day he’ll get it.
If the CIA were really Satoshi Nakamoto, they would have already sold their bitcoins...
At least he admitted that he doesn't understand bitcoin, so that I don't have to point that out.
