The long-awaited HBO documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery premiered and brought with it a sensational statement.
Oku.AzAccording to information published by “Politico”, director Cullen Hobak claimed to have managed to reveal one of the biggest secrets in the world of cryptocurrencies: the identity of the creator of “bitcoin”, hidden under the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto”. .
According to Hobak, numerous facts indicate that the true “father” of “bitcoin” is Peter Todd, a Canadian programmer known for his deep knowledge in the field of cryptocurrencies.
At the end of the film, K. Hobak directly asks P. Todd: “Does it seem like you had deep knowledge in the field of “bitcoin” at that time?”
And Todd replies, “Yes, I’m ‘Satoshi Nakamoto.'”
But this confession is not conclusive proof.
It should be noted that Fr. Todd himself repeatedly denied his involvement in the creation of “bitcoin”. He is known for using the phrase “I am Satoshi”, which is known as an expression of support for privacy.
It should be noted that Peter Todd is not the only candidate for the role of “Bitcoin” creator. According to the results of a survey of crypto industry experts before the film’s release, many consider American technologist Len Sassaman to be “Satoshi.”
Despite the hype surrounding the film, the identity of “Satoshi Nakamoto” remains unanswered, and many in the crypto industry are convinced that it should be.
