The mystery of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, continues to intrigue the crypto community. HBO's new documentary named Peter Todd as a potential candidate.

Who Is Peter Todd?

Peter Todd is a Canadian Bitcoin developer known for his contributions to the blockchain and crypto space. He was involved in projects such as OpenTimestamps, Counterparty, and Zcash. Todd was among the few who directly communicated with Nakamoto on forums during Bitcoin’s early days.

The Evidence Presented

The documentary presents several points suggesting Todd could be Nakamoto. These include his technical expertise, forum interactions where he might have communicated with Nakamoto, and a comment about 'sacrificing' bitcoins. However, much of this is speculative and lacks hard evidence.

Peter Todd's Response

Peter Todd has consistently denied being Satoshi Nakamoto. He humorously stated, 'Of course, I’m not Satoshi.' He criticized the filmmaker, accusing him of 'conspiracy thinking based on coincidences.'

Despite interesting points presented in the documentary, none of it definitively proves Peter Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto. This theory remains just one of many speculations about the creator of Bitcoin.
