Using “Talk2Satoshi,” crypto enthusiasts can learn more about BTC from a bot imitating Satoshi Nakamoto’s voice.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin (BTC), may have vanished from public view over a decade ago, but the power of artificial intelligence (AI) is now breathing new life into his legacy.
Pierre Corbin and Hugo Ferrer, two AI enthusiasts, have recently launched “Talk2Satoshi,” a chatbot trained to echo Nakamoto’s perspectives on Bitcoin and broader economics.

Unveiled on May 31st, this inventive AI project used OpenAI’s ChatGPT model, trained on a curated data set containing Nakamoto’s public communications, including emails and forum posts. The data set also incorporates insights from several other sources, such as several crypto-related books and movies.
“Talk2Satoshi” consistently exhibits a cautiously optimistic stance toward Bitcoin and a skeptical outlook on fiat currencies. However, the responses can sometimes be conflicting, depending on the nature of the query.
For instance, in response to the question “What is the future of Bitcoin?”, it rendered varying responses describing Bitcoin’s future as both “promising” and “uncertain.”
In a playful nod to Nakamoto’s infamous secrecy, the AI bot maintains the creator’s mystique, usually replying to inquiries about its true identity with:
My real name is not important. What is important is the decentralization of power that Bitcoin represents and the potential it has to revolutionize financial systems.
Corbin and Ferrer’s AI chatbot has its limitations, as it isn’t equipped with data on recent Bitcoin developments like the Ordinals protocol or BRC-20 tokens. Hence, it often states its inability to offer views on such topics.
However, its responses can still contradict, depending on the questions posed. For instance, while it has described Ordinals as “a fascinating and creative application of cryptography,” it has also suggested that Bitcoin is not designed to store or transmit images or other data types.
The fundamental objective of this AI bot, as Corbin explains, is to demonstrate how AI could potentially be employed in education. It effectively answers questions about Bitcoin’s functioning, mining, and the concept of satoshis.
With the debut of “Talk2Satoshi,” the world of crypto enthusiasts gains an intriguing AI tool echoing the voice of Bitcoin’s elusive creator. While it cannot wholly replicate the mind of Satoshi Nakamoto, it serves as an innovative way to keep his ideas and ethos alive, and in turn, perhaps inspire new thoughts on the future of Bitcoin.
