Could it be that rogue Artificial Intelligence is using bitcoin’s supercomputer network to quietly take over the world? This is one of the questions raised by a bizarre YouTube video uploaded by the UFO Today channel. The conspiracy theory video alleges that bitcoin uses the allure of money to trick people into expanding its network and processing power. UFO Today said: “Would it be possible that the reason for the bitcoin code to be so perfect, is the fact that the code wasn’t created by a single extremely skilled developer or even a team of skilled developers? “Instead, could the code have been generated by a highly advanced artificial intelligence? Think about it. Bitcoin just happened.”

The exact details of bitcoin’s creation remain a mystery, but the token emerged in 2009 as a direct response to Wall Street and the 2008 financial crisis. Bitcoin was conceived by an anonymous individual or group of skilled programmers, operating online under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto.

FaceLikeTheSun wrote online: “Eventually, as these AI begin to communicate amongst themselves in a language we will never be able to crack, it might become all consuming. “This possibility brings to mind the topic of Black Goo, and sentient matter. “These things seem to resonate deeply with the abomination of desolation that Jesus Christ warned about in Matthew 24.

Other online forum users have jumped the bandwagon, peddling farfetched theories about bitcoin being the world’s first “digital organism” or even a gift from technologically advanced aliens. Reddit poster gwerks69 said: “What if Satoshi was a sentient AI who invented Bitcoin so it could acquire more hardware without violating Asimov's 3 laws? “Think about it, how else could an AI acquire billions of dollars of real world purchasing power without stealing.” But as outlandish as the conpiracy theories may sound, one bitcoin expert in particular is certain that one day bitcoin will be the de facto currency of AI robots.
