As far as I can tell that's exactly what is happening. They're reading meaning into something that is in all likelihood meaningless.
The reason people are freaking out is because they're assuming that the random string of numbers (that are generated as a solution to a block or whatever) were one specific solution that someone was intentionally looking for (out of many possible solutions,) implying that they had a computer strong enough to find all or many possible solutions to the block and from that list of all or many possible solutions they chose one solution in particular to convey a message.
IMO that's retarded now that I look into it. There's nothing to indicate to me that this solution isn't totally random. But I'm not an expert by any means.

Simplest possible non-math explanation I can do: the long string of digits satisfies a particular algorithm. The strings of digits which do so are incredibly rare. You could try random strings for literally years on your computer and not get the right combination. This particular one is, for a variety of reasons, even more unlikely to have arisen by chance and has characteristics which mean, despite its being new, it must have been created in the past. Now this is obvious nonsense, so either a time traveler is involved or else someone has a hack for the algorithm, which means they can fuck around making the really rare numbers whenever and however they like. This also means that they can crack any hard crypto problem, probably, because math.

time traveling transactions for time travelers?
but why would they want to do that instead of using it to become multi trillionaires and crash the world economy?

sorry wrong image cant seem to find it but it was twatter user who explained the randomness odds
