The new HBO documentary promises to reveal the identity of the mysterious Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. It explores possible revelations but leaves new questions.

Speculations on Bitcoin's Founder

The documentary investigates various theories on who Satoshi might be. Spotlight falls on Peter Todd, a Bitcoin Core developer, speculated by the film to be the cryptocurrency's founder.

Peter Todd's Position

Peter Todd has officially denied being Satoshi Nakamoto on social media site X. In response to a user, Todd remarked he's been in the spotlight before but acknowledged this situation might be more significant. His quote: "I've done a lot of things in life that have put me in the spotlight. Not my first rodeo. But this might be crazier than before. We will see!"

Reactions and Film Summary

The HBO film covers Bitcoin's history and related crypto projects, yet does not provide convincing evidence that Peter Todd is Satoshi. It delves into his interest in cryptography and connection with Adam Back, as well as a forum post in 2010 allegedly sent from Todd's account instead of Satoshi's. Despite these insights, evidence remains inconclusive.

The HBO documentary has added more layers to the longstanding mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto, sparking more questions and speculation about who truly created Bitcoin.
