Documentary Claims Canadian Tech Expert as Bitcoin Creator
New Suspect Emerges
A recent HBO documentary has unveiled a new theory regarding the true identity of the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The film suggests that Canadian Bitcoin developer Peter Todd could be the elusive figure behind the world’s most famous cryptocurrency.
Evidence Presented
The documentary points to a chat log message where Todd allegedly refers to himself as the “world’s leading expert on how to sacrifice your bitcoins,” hinting at his potential involvement. Additionally, a slip-up on a BitcoinTalk forum post further fuels speculation surrounding Todd’s connection to Satoshi.
Community Reaction
Despite the compelling narrative presented in the documentary, Todd himself has vehemently denied any association with being Satoshi Nakamoto. The crypto community remains skeptical of the filmmaker’s claims, with many expressing doubt about Todd’s alleged role in Bitcoin’s creation.
Previous Theories Debunked
Over the years, various individuals have been named as potential Satoshis, including cryptographer Len Sassaman, physicist Dorian S. Nakamoto, and scientist Craig Wright. However, each theory has been met with skepticism and ultimately debunked by the wider crypto community.
